Although Southampton's start to the season has been awful, one thing that has been tremendous is the away support, sell outs at all the away games so far and now Manchester City, so our favourite independent supplier of away travel are having to put on extra coaches.

Manchester City over the past decade or so has long been one of the lowest turn outs of the season for Saints supporters, probably because like all of the other clubs who visit there, it is the away fixture with the lowest chance of getting even a point, let alone a victory.

It is all that is wrong with football, you go to see a game that is not competitive and your team on the back foot for most of the time.

But it seems that this season Southampton supporters are gluttons for punishment and we have sold out the full allocation.

That means that 3,000 Saints fans have to make the trip Manchester, many of them will go on Nicks Saints Away Travel and although there are still nearly 3 weeks left before the game, they have already filled 4 coaches and have now put on a 5th.

With multiple pick up points in and around the Southampton area and depending on the route sometimes beyond, it is a comfortable and convenient way to travel.

Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers are now on sale, with the trip to City costing just £41.95, around half of what it would cost in petrol if you drove.

Now with a 5th coach added, seats are selling fast, so if you are looking to go to Manchester, the advice is don't delay.
