Yet More Fixture Uncertainty As Liverpool Game Date Still Not Firmed Up.

Tickets for the visit of Liverpool on March 20th will not go on sale till Friday 26th February due to uncertainty about when the game can be played.

Saints fans will have to wait till Friday 26th February before they can buy tickets for the visit of Liverpool due to the time and date being unable to be confirmed until Liverpool's fate in the Europa League is confirmed.

The ex Saints side face FC Augsburg tomorrow night in Germany and then play the return at Anfield a week later on Thursday 25th February, if they win the tie then the game at St Mary's will be put back to Sunday 21st March with a kick off to be confirmed, whereas if they depart the competition then it will remain a Saturday 3pm kick off.

Once again it is a case of the supporters being mucked about, following a Premier League football club these days means that you are not able to make plans too far in advance due to games changing time and kick off at short notice.

Many season ticket holders where unable to attend the Boxing Day fixture against Arsenal due to it being moved to an evening kick off and then a couple of weeks ago the date and time for the visit of West Ham was changed to the Monday for TV and then changed back to the Saturday with less than a weeks notice due to TV.

Now the Liverpool fixture has that uncertainty again and Saints fans are getting sick of it, there are those who would rather the game be moved to Sunday well in advance so they can plan their weekend, whilst others who come from further afield are faced with train cancellations and bus services due to engineering works if the game is changed to the Sunday.

At least Saints are having the decency to postpone sales till the actual date is known so that supporters can buy a ticket knowing that they will actually be able to make the date be it Saturday or Sunday.
