from their forum...
"Had a beer by the train station then got escorted down towards the ground - their OB said we couldn't go in the Gas Club where a few of ours who came by car were, we told them otherwise and went in. Just before kick off most of ours had fucked off, only a few left finishing drinks etc and 20/30 Huddersfield came in through the door - presumably tipped off by someone in there. One of their's spoke to our lad in the doorway and asked if he wanted it - was told it was hardly likely with only 3/4 Saints left. The Huddersfield lad left it at that - fair play for that, some would have piled in anyway. We went 3-1 down on about 80 minutes and all got up and left.. back to same pub. Think we would have got let in but one of the Yorkshire OB finally got a grip and said we couldn't - at same point about 10/15 Huddersfield come up the road behind us, and shouted over "so you have turned out then Southampton". Up the road further caught 4 of them hanging about, who quickly made themselves scarce - wouldn't have achieved anything to iron them out mind, especially bang infront of our F.I. officer. After this point most of the OB had fucked off and 15 of us were walking up a hill towards the train station - only two OB in tow.. and suddenly out of nowhere a decent-sized mob of Huddersfield appear ahead sprinting down the hill at us. Here we go I thought - kept walking straight ahead towards them, heart-racing - that brilliant buzz you get as it's just about to go - then from somewhere an OB van screeched up onto the pavement in between the two sets of lads and as suddenly as the Huddersfield mob appeared, they all legged it back up the road. Literally seconds away from it going right off. A few of them were hanging around by the train station but it was well wrapped up by that point. Hats off to Huddersfield, seem to have decent numbers out."
