Saints have sold in excess of 7,500 tickets for the Under-21s Premier League Cup final against Blackburn on Monday night.

A bumper crowd is now expected at St Mary’s for the match, which Martin Hunter’s side go into with a great chance of collecting the trophy after a goalless draw in the first leg at Ewood Park.

The game is capturing the imagination of supporters and with a sizeable walk-up expected on the day Saints are urging fans to buy their tickets in advance and print them at home to beat the queues on the evening.

The match kicks-off at 7pm with prices just £1 for concessions and £3 for adults, along with a special deal of £5 for a ticket and a drink.
