Totton is a pretty large town right on the Western side of Southampton. If we'd drawn them in the 2nd round and with Saints not having a game they could quite easily bring a 4 figure support. One of my rival clubs as a player and never liked them much to be honest but they've done remarkably well to get where they are and now have a lovely new ground which has helped swell their fanbase, they also have a very very good side full of quality local youngsters.

can we get back to the matter in hand please instead of waffling on about how many fans we didn't draw wont be bringing to a non existent game!
sheffield united is a massive game. everyone who has never been to bramall lane should make the effort. direct train from newton abbot, cheap hotels left right and centre. and one of the best real ale scenes in the world.

Is it only a tenner to get in Bix? If so my train is £4.30 return, programme and pie and the day will cost me about £20 all in. Superb!

Cheers - figured it would be empty but some clubs don't have the facility to sell tickets on the day. Just thought I'd check
