It's overcast so a chance of precipitation but I would prefer the going to be good to firm.Had an afternoon session and we walked the solent from ibis central until we found a cracking spoons called The Albert Sir Lucias Curtis.It rolls of the tongue and a fine watering hole to start off the festivities.Nice ambience good hospitality and as usual an amazing selection of worldly ales.A good few blues in there early doors and we met up with Tam and his cohorts who flew down on flybe. He's left it a touch fine for his home leg at an 18.30 kick off.
Favourite scoop in spoons is hop house 13 on draft.Its an incredible pint..Also the devils backbone in bottles is a sensible choice.Enjoy the run.

Well it was pissing down when you posted this, not the weather I expected at all.
Might bump into you tomorrow

Not ideal preparation:

True. But we've travelled to games, on the day, numerous times.

True, but they’re usually evening games in London though. A 3pm in Southampton is potentially a bit more problematic.

Long way to travel on the day,not great but better than a dodgy plane

Like you said, not ideal. But IF they're flying should be OK.

Not ideal preparation:

Some staff already at Hilton Ageas. Heard flight will arrive around 9 in the morning and then they’ll head here for pre match before heading to stadium. Could be a good photo op if anyone in the area wants to come out to the Hilton.

On the plus side, as the team didn’t make it, I got upgraded to a room with a balcony :)

Rain stopped play.

Just looked on the OS at the global tv listings and it doesn’t look like the game is on live in Canada. The local tv stations are showing teams TBA.
Does anyone know if the game is on live ? Thanks
