There's no point having a lot of money if you don't have the revenue to spend it within PSR rules. And you can deduct infrastructure and development costs from PSR so in the meantime, this is a really good way for Sport Republic to invest and encourage growth. Hopefully, they can deliver.

Club keen to diversify revenue streams and make St Mary’s Waterfront a premier entertainment destination on South Coast.

Saints face Spurs at a decent time. While Postecoglou's got no defenders left, Martin is buoyed by the return of three key men in three different areas of the pitch. High line potentially means Archer/Armstrong can be a threat and the focus in training has been attack.

Russell Martin is currently still in charge and the expectancy is that he will be for Sunday, Staplewood is quiet because Sunday/Monday have been days off this year. All back in tomorrow so if that changes it would only be down to conversations they've had together. Obviously, never 100%.

Positives are it's another close game and they looked alright for 15 minutes. Negatives are it should have been much more than one by the end and we could have been here all night without Saints scoring. Against a mean defence like that, the attackers don't look good.
