Am I Wrong To Expect A Full House For Cardiff ?
If there is any justice then it will be a near capacity crowd for the visit of Cardiff City.
It was great to see a capacity crowd over Christmas on not one but two occasions as Saints fans flocked to St mary's to see the then League leaders, perhaps though this allayed the claims of some who say that Saints cant expect full houses in this current climate, well I would say that if we can fill SMS twice in the week after Xmas, then we should be able to do it a month later after only one home game in that period since.
To be blunt its easy to turn up when a team is doing well, but when a team really needs its supporters is when its going through a tough time and the visit of Cardiff is almost as tough as it gets this season, its a game that could make or break the season and in that respect we need all the backing we can get to cheer the lads on.
So lets encourage all the Saints supporters we know to get down to St Mary's for this game, after all apart from the importance of the game, there is also the chance to see Tadanari Lee for the first time on home soil and it looks like Billy Sharp could well be joining him on the Saints league debutant list.
