Saints will be kicking off their pre-season programme of friendlies this weekend with the short trip to Eastleigh's Silverlake Stadium…
Fans will be able to buy tickets on the day (Saturday) with a range of reduced prices also available for students, Seniors and kids, with FREE entrance for the under 12's (See below for full ticket details). Kick off will be at 15:00.
Last year's contest saw a young Saints side held to a 3-3 draw, with goals from Nathan Dyer, Jamie White and Matt Paterson being ultimately cancelled out by a late Eastleigh equaliser.
Mark Wotte has named a 22-man squad with a mixture of youth and experience, with Polish striker Grzegorz Rasiak amongst the most established. This year's encounter also looks set to be a classic game of two halves, with Mark Wotte intending to give his entire squad a run out with wholesale changes at half-time.
TEAM NEWS: Striker Jamie White is back in training and said to be progressing well following the fractured fibula and dislocated ankle he suffered in a Reserves match in January.
However, he is only expected to play a small part this weekend after stepping out of training with a tight quad. Defender Jospeh Mills misses out altogether due to a minor hamstring problem.
Anthony Pulis and Wayne Thomas are both back in full training following their own injuries problems last season, whilst youngster Kayne McLaggon is still sidelined by a ruptured Achilles.
Other out of contract players, including Bradley Wright-Phillips and Jason Euell, will also not be involved for insurance reasons.
