The Saints, who will start the season with a -10 handicap, must find a buyer by tomorrow or risk being thrown out of the League altogether. The club's administrators are currently in talks with the Pinnacle Group, who have the backing of Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier, but their period of exclusivity comes to an end on Friday. If a deal cannot be struck then the future looks bleak indeed.
The Saints' fans meanwhile had mixed views on facing The Lions in August. Most opinions were firmly stuck in the 1980s with talk of fans running riot on the coast while other arrogantly claimed that they would take three points off of Kenny Jackett's men and walk the division.
However, Millwall Mad have two words for them: Leeds United.
