Sunday Last Day Premier Fixtures Mean Later Kick Off

Its come to my attention that a large number of Saints fans dont know what time the game is kicking off against Stoke City on Sunday afternoon.

Given that this is a full programme of Premier League fixtures and they all need to start at the same time, there is some confusion about what time this actually is, many have assumed that its 3pm, but they would be wrong, others have thought that they would be lunchtime kick offs as was the recent final day of the Championship, but they would also be wrong.

The actual kick off time for all the games, including of course Saints game against Stoke City is 4pm.

Hopefully everyone will soon be aware of it and we wont be hearing tales of woe on Monday, although given that the kick off is later rather than earlier, anyone who isnt sure will just get there earlier than usual.

The Premier League table does not make good viewing unless you turn it upside down, Southampton are rock bottom 2 points adrift from the team above and 4 points off Ipswich 4th from bottom, so will that gap be worse before we kick off on Sunday.

Southampton V Liverpool The Preview
Usually the visit of Liverpool to The Dell & St Mary's was something that Saints fans looked forward to in the calendar, it was a game that often threw up a shock result for the home side, but as we go into the latest clash with the Merseyside men, there seems little hope of that this year.
