<p>Our local football team, Southampton FC, residing in the 3rd tier of English football took on the mighty Manchester Utd on Saturday 29th January 2010, in the <a title="BBC Game Report" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/9379065.stm" target="_blank">4th round of the FA Cup </a>at their impressive 32,000 seat St Mary's stadium in Southampton.</p>

<p>The game was televised live to a prospective global audience in excess of 20 million, and our advertising board at the stadium we hoped would bring good luck against the Premiership side!!</p>

<p>Sadly the game ended 1-2 Manchester Utd, but Saints gave an excellent account of themselves and took  a first half lead, only to lose out to a rather laboured but rugged performance from the Premiership club. So what's next for Saint? All eyes on promotion to the Championship. Good luck Saints!<br class="spacer_" /></p>
