Good evening - I'm Laura Trant with the news in the south.

:00:11.:00:13.

Thousands of Southampton fans are at Wembley this

:00:14.:00:17.

afternoon as their team takes on Manchester United

:00:18.:00:19.

Victory would mean Saints bringing home their first major piece

:00:20.:00:22.

of silverware since the 1976 FA cup final.

:00:23.:00:24.

With the second half well underway the score is currently 2 all.

:00:25.:00:27.

Many fans who weren't lucky enough to get tickets are watching

:00:28.:00:30.

the match in pubs around Southampton, Briony Leyland

:00:31.:00:35.

joins us from the aptly named "The Saints" pub.

:00:36.:00:37.

Well fans here are watching every moment of the match closely -

:00:38.:00:56.

So the allocated 32,000 tickets for Wembley was morning this morning a

:00:57.:01:02.

red and white army headed up to the stadium many of them living on

:01:03.:01:05.

coaches from St Mary 's. There was a party atmosphere as the big day

:01:06.:01:10.

dawned. With everyone determined to enjoy their day no matter the

:01:11.:01:11.

outcome of the match. There are so many people

:01:12.:01:14.

who didn't manage to get it, Everybody, and even non-saints

:01:15.:01:19.

fans, I hope will be behind us today,

:01:20.:01:31.

which I'm sure they are. Got to be confident, yeah,

:01:32.:01:37.

I mean it's only Man United. Well, with me is the landlord

:01:38.:01:57.

of The Saints pub Eugene McManus - what do you think of

:01:58.:02:00.

the show so far? It is a fantastic game so far.

:02:01.:02:07.

Something for everybody, even the neutral. Great goals, great times to

:02:08.:02:15.

get those goals. We have them on the back foot at the moment. It looks

:02:16.:02:19.

like Rooney is about to come on. If we can contain him... Ride this

:02:20.:02:24.

period out, keep the pressure up, cheap the tempo up.

:02:25.:02:27.

It really changed just before the end of the first half.

:02:28.:02:31.

After 45 minutes people were talking about going home. 47, 48 minute,

:02:32.:02:37.

everyone wants to stay. First five minutes of the second half, we're

:02:38.:02:42.

right back in the game and I believe at this moment in time we are on top

:02:43.:02:46.

and hopefully we can get this possession to play.

:02:47.:02:50.

What about the atmosphere here in the pub?

:02:51.:02:53.

The atmosphere here is great. I was of 300 people. As you look around

:02:54.:02:56.

everyone is enjoying themselves. The whole bar is full of red and white,

:02:57.:02:59.

it is great. It would mean a lot to you? It would

:03:00.:03:04.

mean a lot to me and saints fans all over the town.

:03:05.:03:06.

And you will not be buying them all a drink, I here?

:03:07.:03:11.

A select few I may. But certainly not everybody, that would bankrupt

:03:12.:03:13.

us. Thank you so much for joining us

:03:14.:03:16.

from this very excited pup. A petition's been set up calling

:03:17.:03:20.

for a pedestrian crossing at a Swindon junction where a woman

:03:21.:03:23.

died this week. The 32-year-old from North Swindon

:03:24.:03:25.

died after being hit by a road sweeper outside Arkells Brewery

:03:26.:03:28.

on Beechcroft Road, It happened as she was on her way

:03:29.:03:30.

to collect her child from a minder. Now over a thousand people have

:03:31.:03:36.

signed an online petition calling for a pedestrian crossing

:03:37.:03:38.

at the busy crossroads. We've had over 1500 signatures

:03:39.:03:42.

so far, which is absolutely amazing. And Justin Tomlinson

:03:43.:03:45.

the MP for North Swindon, has been in touch

:03:46.:03:47.

on my Facebook page just to say that Councillor Keith Williams,

:03:48.:03:50.

who is the councilor for the highways and roads,

:03:51.:03:52.

I believe, in Swindon, is on the ball and hoping

:03:53.:03:54.

to get something done. A group of squatters who've been

:03:55.:04:05.

living in a former car showroom in Oxford have less than 24 hours

:04:06.:04:08.

to find somewhere else to live. Twenty people have been

:04:09.:04:11.

using the unofficial shelter at the site on Ifley Road

:04:12.:04:13.

since New Year's Eve. But, it's owned by Wadham college

:04:14.:04:16.

who say the squatters must The group have appealed

:04:17.:04:18.

on social media for help. We have got fairly unsettled weather

:04:19.:04:37.

:04:46.:04:49.

busy night. Locally quite cool. There of around five or 6 degrees.

:04:50.:04:54.

Tomorrow morning then we will have these heavy showers arriving. There

:04:55.:04:58.

is Episcopalian thunder with some of the showers. They could turn a touch

:04:59.:05:02.
