A good move in my opinion. What have we got to lose. if we raise brand awareness and maybe unearth a decent player or two - all to the good. And maybe establish a foothold into a growing and lucrative market.
Very enjoyable reading all the recollections. Have been reading this column for ages but this has prompted me to post. My first game was away to Brentford 3rd div south November 1956 ( I have the programme) all I remember was that it was a very dark afternoon and Saints lost 0-4. But they were my Dad's team ( a native of Southampton) and I was hooked for life. My second game was away to Aldershot in the same season when Terry Paine scored I think his first goal for Saints. we drew 1-1 and Terry was my boyhood hero. Living in Surrey I had plenty of opportunities to support the London clubs and was taken to a game occasionally by well meaning neighbours but in the end they gave up because all I ever wanted to know was the Saints result. There have been many ups and downs but I have never regretted being a Saints fan and kind of feel it is in my blood. I am a season ticket holder and still travel down from Surrey for almost every game.
