Great to welcome guests to our reception at God’s House Tower in Southampton this evening 🥂 Our staff and participants testifying to our impact in the city 😇

Fascinating chat with Russell Martin today. - The importance of players being open about their emotions. - How he's thankful for his tough upbringing, saying it helped him during Saints' 4 match losing streak. - And what's pleased him most about the season. ITV News Meridian 6pm.

The calm before the storm. Just over 2 hrs to kick-off for ⁦Southampton FC⁩ at West Brom. There’s no better way to get promoted than through the Play-offs. Lose..and it’s very tough.

Saints fans in fine voice. Kick-off in 7 mins. The other game finished Norwich 0 Leeds 0. Would Southampton accept that ahead of a home leg on Friday?

Ross Stewart only sub out warming up. Doubt he’ll get more than 30 mins. But could have big impact.

Saints fans have brought the noise and the flares. 2 hrs to their biggest match for SOME time!

Let's hope for another special memory next Sunday!

Crawley Town fans told me before kick-off they CAN’T WAIT for the match. One of them saying he’s waited “his whole lifetime (66 years) for this moment” as the club plays their first ever Wembley Final.

‘The Fable Guy’ and a special fable on Horsham FC will be featured on ITV News Meridian at 6pm tonight. Pleasure to have andrew pate filming here, while my hometown club have just had best season in our 143-year history! open.substack.com/pub/leewelling… More info: open.substack.com/pub/leewelling…
