Had our trip to St Mary’s come at any other time of the season I would have made an effort to get there, never having been. My trips to Hampshire go back to the bad old days of the Dell, where visiting supporters were housed in conditions that would have caused uproar if they were […]

We fought, but not as hard as a fourth division club. Well played Bradford City. You deserved it. If you are here as I hit the publish button you have seen the match. This is no match report. All that we have tonight are questions, best left unanswered until the cold light of day. The […]
