There are only three more days to go before we can all start planning our diaries for next season and find out just when we return to Old Trafford and Anfield.

Monday 18th June at 9am sees the release of the fixtures for the season and saints supporters will finally be able to see that our seven years in the wilderness are finally over. Funnily enough in that time although we have played a few premier teams at home in the cups, we have rarely been drawn away from home the only away ties of significance being trips to Newcastle and Man City so most saints fans will be looking forward to playing the big guns on their own turf again.

Perhaps the most eagerly awaited fixture is the trip to Arsenal as of course we have never played at the Emirates, that along with Wigan being the two stadia in the Premier we have yet to grace.

BlackRod added 22:31 - Jun 14 Nick keeps us going at this time of year with his insightful analysis and pithy remarks. Who needs the Euros when you can read about Saints Legends You Have Never Heard Of?

davepid added 22:56 - Jun 14 Im looking foward to the big stadiums again but have to say I really enjoyed some of the grounds Ive been to these last three years. The terraces at Peterborough, the step back in time grounds like Oldham and Hartlepool,or the perfectly formed and small old fashioned ground of Rochdale all stand out. Nice going to historic Turf Moor and Carlisle was interesting though I cant recall why, and maybe we will revisit MK Dons and Sheffield Wednesday if those clubs ambitions are fulfilled.
