If dreams could come true.
@SouthamptonFC
. A true gentleman who made last night possible. For the underdog it really doesn't matter how long it lasts, it's just that the journey was worthwhile. For those rainy nights in L1 you fans deserve this moment ⚽👮♂️
We are currently investigating the abduction and switch of
@JVestergaard7
with this new Brazilian defender who flicks balls over forwards heads. Great game today by the big man
@SouthamptonFC
Pleased to say we finish just before Xmas with no arrests or ejections. The 3000
#SaintsFC
fans, who were in great voice. What an early present 🎅 Merry Xmas to you all from myself Andy and the other Football Cops ⚽️👮♂️
So it is time for me to leave the Police , it has been a pleasure to be your Football Officer for the past ten years. We have had ups and downs, League One and then back to the Premiership and a couple of seasons in Europe, it has been great to meet so many passionate fans
Lovely tribute to Roy Lewin a long serving steward at the Dell and St Mary's who sadly passed away recently, a true Gentleman and a Saint who will be missed. Hopefully he will be smiling from above at the result today
#SaintsFC
Due to having 🦠 I wasn't working the match today and was able to watch it for a change. Weren't Southampton great today, what a hard won point, and the
#saintsfc
fans sounded great.
Pleased to say I have just spoken to the Saints fan who was assaulted on Saturday. Considering what happened he is doing OK. We are still assisting
@BTPFootball
in identifying the Portsmouth fan, and as many of you have messaged I will update you as the investigation progresses.
To the 3000
@SouthamptonFC
fans coming to Old Trafford, there are no away pubs near the ground. Advice is to drink in the town centre or in the ground. £3.50 a 🍺 in the ground. Better prices up North 👮⚽👮♀️
So after a certain victory in the League Cup and looking at the current Premier League table, apparently the South Coast is Ours after all, and they both got it wrong 😎

fans travelling tomorrow, being told The Witton Arms or the Aston Tavern. Or most bars in the city will take away fans. Looking forward to seeing a sea of Yellow and Blue.
Today in conjunction with
@KickitOut
a male from Bradford who racially abused
@NathanTella_11
attended an educational session, this was completed as part of his rehabilitation. Racism just isn't Saintly and will not be tolerated.
@SouthamptonFC
@AlanBushKIO
100% record in the new shirts. A big thank you from myself and the team to all
@SouthamptonFC
fans, especially those that we joined on their travels around the country, stay safe and hope to see you all soon ⚽👮♂️
My last tweet as your Footy Officer,
#SaintsFC
fans going to Fulham, The Temperance, Kings Arms and Eight Bells all near Putney Bridge will serve you some cold refreshments 🍷🍺🍹🍸🥤 , Happy New Year to you all 👮♂️, hopefully finish with a win.
Mind blown that supporters go online and abuse the players.
Firstly, let's not forget how bad the football was last season compared to what we are seeing now. Secondly, you potentially commit criminal offences.
#SaintsFC
To the 1960 fans that travelled tonight you were a credit to the club. To the individual who let off the smoke grenade causing a young Southampton fan in a wheelchair to have an asthma attack and miss the rest of the match, you're not a credit to the club.
#SaintsFC
The 2253 who came today were in great voice. Some throwback songs being sung.
And PC Hopes on her first away game was the lucky charm and 3 points are coming back to the South Coast 👮♂️👮♀️⚽

Not sure if the Police Horse is a

Safe journey home to the 1463

For the
@LCFC
fans travelling tomorrow, here are some of the bars in the town centre or near the ground that take away fans, there are others within walking distance. You don't need to mention the 9 nil, old news now
@LeicsEvents
Southampton's victory - their first since April - was achieved after fielding the youngest Premier League starting line-up named by any club since May 2017, with an average age of 23 years and 238 days
You will never win anything with kids 😉
In solidarity with the travelling

Safe journey to the 2377 fans that travelled, big three points and now onto the warm up South Coast Derby, as not the real one is it really ? . That's a few days later on, whose managed to get on of the magic 2000 tickets ⚽️👮♂️
#SaintsFC
We know fans are waiting to hear if our policing op for Sept24 will involve the so-called “bubble”.
After talks with the clubs,we can advise we won't be using it on this time.
For more about the policing op, keeping safe & limiting disruption, pls visit
PC Ted in the post to
@Melissassmile
are three patches for you, but as Melissa is a superstar I have included a special metal badge just for her. Can't wait to see PC Ted with his Hampshire Badge on, as our emblem is the best 😉👮♂️
PC Ted is still hoping for more police pins to add to his collection 😁please could everyone ask their local constabulary to send one I’m sure it would make his and my Smile even bigger 😁😇 Thank you
From want to be honorary police officer Melissa xx
#AngelmanSyndrome
A Southampton fan today has pleaded guilty to racially abusing a Southampton player at Arsenal away last season, and is now subject to a three year football banning order. We will take positive action to stamp out this behaviour

#kickitout
To the 961 that did attend, what a rollarcoaster of a match, not good for this old 👮♂️ticker. Pleased to say no arrests or ejections. Into the next round we go

Last away journey of 2018 for the Santa Saints fans, looked great with their gift from the Supporter Relations team from

That's a happier photo than the one I took before this one. Safe journey home or have a great night if staying in Newcastle to the 940 fans who travelled. Pleased to say only the one arrest

For the 2,300
@SouthamptonFC
fans travelling to Watford tomorrow. Close to the coach drop off is Odd fellows for a 🍻. O'Neills if you're coming by 🚉. Or there is a Wetherspoons in the town centre. It is PC Hopes first away match, let's hope she brings some luck 👮♂️👮♀️⚽
As we aren't having an away day for a while, to remember that away day feeling, for a bit of fun post your favourite away day photo over the years. Here's the fan zone at Arnhem before it got full of

If Southampton win tonight and go top of the
@premierleague
for the first time, I think the Trump method should be adopted and just stop counting. If we aren't top its time to count more
#saintsfc
👮♂️⚽
I appreciate things aren't going well on the pitch, but to throw punches at each other is appalling, and some of the abuse towards the players and other home fans is unacceptable, what is this teaching the next generation of
#saintsfc
fans
Great to see fans back in the stadium, will be working with the club to address the ticketing issues ahead of the next match. A good result on the pitch and pleased to say no arrests. Off to Newport for a sell out away attendance.
Being told majority of bars in the town centre will welcome
#SaintsFC
fans tomorrow for an Easter drink. Also alcohol is served in the away end. Also Mag pies for £3.70 , but no magpie inside so I am told. Safe journey to the 1,700 fans coming North of the Wall
If you are one of the 3000 travelling to Spurs, being told there are no pubs that take away fans near the ground. Best advice is to drink in London and then travel in. Please arrive early if poss as a good away attendance to get through the searching and turnstiles

For those that asked, the young lady with the suspected broken leg, is in good hands at A&E in Newcastle and we have got hold of her family. Thanks to the excellent medical staff and Steward at the ground

There are reports on social media that if you don't have a Covid Passport or a LFT then you won't be allowed entry into the stadium. This is false, there will be some low level checks as research. But if checked and you don't have either, you can still enter
