Due to various European fixtures now being scheduled and this having a knock on affect for games due to be played at the weekend before our trip across the New Forest to Bournemouth the date of that fixture has now been changed.

With West ham United qualifying for the Europa Conference League group stages, that has now had a knock on affect for Saints in that the Hammers will now play on the Thursday evening 13th October meaning that our home game against them will now be put back a day from Saturday 15th October to presumably the next day Sunday 16th.

But that will also have a knock on affect with regards to our fixture at Bournemouth, that was due to be played on Tuesday 18th October, but the Cherries have already taken the bull by the horns and announced that this game has also been pushed back a day and will now be played on Wednesday 19th October with a 7.30 pm kick off.

Bournemouth have been quick to react also announcing that West Ham will travel to St Mary's on the Sunday, but so far nothing from Saints at time of publishing this article
