@Jameshampt47764 @Sfc_debs Don’t think any of the far side top tier has been made available yet

@Sfc_debs If of thought theyd open up blocks as they sell . So i doubt all of them seats have gone already and thats all thats left ? More blocks will be added monday surely ?

@hateskatesdpc never get a confirmation email. just check your purchase history

Booked 5 tickets yesterday #saintsfc normally you get confirmation email ,we’ve not received this yet ,has anyone else had same issue 😇😎

@BoroMFC1996 You said you’d been preparing for weeks for the game - you knew about it for six days.

@matthicksonn Spying incident was Thursday - we played on Saturday.

Earlier this year, Swindon were expelled from the EFL Vertu Trophy for breaking the competition rules, fielding ineligible players. An illegal advantage was gained, although there are questions around their intent to do so. #Saintsfc #Boro efl.com/news/2026/febr…

@Murd1876 Why should you benefit over other clubs that may have been spied on? Us spying on you on its own is not enough for us to be removed from the play offs, meaning if we’ve done it multiple times, that’s nothing to do with you and you won’t benefit from it.

IF Southampton have been "spying" on more than one occasion, the more I think about it the more I believe they will reinstate us to play Hull. They cannot cancel the final, not a chance! Maybe change date, but in no world will they lose out on the revenue. #UTB #saintsfc #spygate

@OnlyGiles @StuartJones7 We can most definitely appeal any decision that is made. Boro can’t

@StuartJones7 That was stated last week. There is no right to appeal from either side . The decision is final and with the upcoming WC , international players will be leaving to join their National teams shortly after next WE .

The disciplinary is on Tuesday. The match is on Saturday. This leaves no time to hear an appeal. The decision will have to be final. That’s why there’s little to no chance of EFL booting #SaintsFC out & risking Saints lawyers going after them for £200m losses #boro

@BoroMFC1996 Weeks of preparation? You had six days 🤣🤣

In the case of Southampton against Boro, an illegal advantage was gained (forcing Boro to change tactics and setup) after weeks of preparation, leaving only a day to reorganise. Unlike Swindon case however, there was a clear intent to gain an advantage by Southampton. #spygate

@Sam__SFC @AlfieHouseEcho still got all the play off final merch available

@AlfieHouseEcho The initial web page had the first sales on Friday Alfie, whilst the x account earlier said it would be Thursday. Feels off

It appears Saints have deleted all trace of ticket information for the Championship play-off final. However, Saints are telling me that they’ve been told they were meant to publish it at the same time as Hull City… #SaintsFC

yeah this wasn’t quite the ‘gotcha’ moment was it

Boro got an early goal and sat back for the rest of the game, offered absolutely nothing going forward. Their defender ducks when defending a goal meaning we score, and it’s spying that means we’ve won the tie🤣

@C0AKESY @richard79page I’d argue it’s a foul but never should’ve taken that long. Never gonna get away with having your arm across the keeper like that

@richard79page Exactly mate! You've nailed it there!!

Varsenal, the games gone

@p_isno1 🤣🤣 you really think people care more than they actually do. You think I care what Troy Deeney thinks?

@matthicksonn Keep telling yourself that it’s cheating and has struck a nerve in the footballing community. Just look at the likes of Troy Deeney et al who’re disgusted by your clubs antics. This will run and run.

The genie is out of the bottle and there’s no way out for Southampton at the moment. theguardian.com/football/2026/…

@p_isno1 Do you think we will really care? No one except from Boro fans is gonna care in a months time 🤣

@matthicksonn It doesn’t really matter the reputation of Southampton is in the gutter and they’ll be tarnished by this for a while to come.

@p_isno1 Not denying we’ve done something but we’re not getting kicked out 🤣

@matthicksonn Denial sure is a dangerous drug.

@paulboro39 @GraemeBandeira we’re annoyed about it as a fanbase, but come on, it clearly made no difference at all. You battered us first half and should’ve put the tie to bed. Certainly can’t use the we got an advantage line that’s for sure. It’ll be a fine and points deduction next season, as we deserve.

@matthicksonn @GraemeBandeira Yes but play stupid games and win stupid prizes. I wouldn’t think ah well we nearly got away with it. I and a lot of Boro fans would be livid with our club if we did it and deserve what would come of it

@paulboro39 @GraemeBandeira very easy to say when it’s this way round ain’t it?

@GraemeBandeira Removing my bias head and this was Boro who did it to Southampton and we got kicked out of the play offs I’ll think fair enough serves us right for trying to cheat our way through. Some balls are needed here and it will never happen again

@saints_fan29 Think that’s why he’s playing in the championship. He’s good but his decision making is often questionable

If scienza could just get that bit of extra curl on it like he did against qpr away or doku did tonight against Everton tonight he’d have a dozen goals this season. #saints #saintsfc

@ChrisBennett84 @CarlDraper98 Scoring with a fantastic strike against Man City last week says otherwise

@CarlDraper98 Doesn’t perform against big teams like we are though 👀

I have a horrible feeling…

@jordan65980785 @charliewring1 still have ptsd from that game. watching that from the away end was hell

@charliewring1 reminds of what our ground was like after sarmiento made it 3-2 😮‍💨

Why have we just turned into Limbs FC, i’m so here for it 🤣 #SaintsFC

@Sam__SFC @tomedroberts1 Worth the risk imo. Big difference in playing at home Saturday lunchtime, to an evening 2nd leg

@matthicksonn @tomedroberts1 I'm not saying 11 changes but I'd leave 3 or 4 out definitely. Could be the Friday

These players are KNACKERED there is no excuse not to give the likes of Bree, Azaz and THB a rest on Saturday #SaintsFC
