Hull City Away Sold Out
Yet another sold out away day as Saints great backing on the road continues with a long haul trip up to Kingston Upon Hull.
There might be a few empty seats at St Mary's this season, but on the road its a different matter as Saints sell out their allocation for a Premier league away game for the fifth consecutive time this season.
I have at times complained about the failure to sell out St Mary's over the past year, but something I cant moan about is the superb backing given to Saints by those supporters who travel away to support the club.
Hull City will be our fifth league game on the road this season and its the fifth sell out, add to that the 5,000 who travelled to Arsenal and another 1,000 or so who went to Millwall in the Capital One Cup and its brilliant to see so many follow Saints away from home.
Next away game though is perhaps the most important of the season so far, the trip to Stoke City could open the path for a run to Wembley for a final, with it being half term week hopefully there will be a bigger following than might otherwise have been, so if you are still deciding to go up to the Brittannia or not, get your tickets quickly before they sell out.

The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
