Will supports Southampton, while Jonny is a Tottenham fan.<\/p>\n
“I don\u2019t think I had much choice, I was born in Southampton with a family history of Saints supporting,” Will told BBC Sport. “The first game I remember watching, and having a programme for, was in 1982 when Kevin Keegan and Alan Ball were playing for us.<\/p>\n
“Some friends of my parents had a flat on the top floor of a block of flats called Overdale Court that overlooked our old ground, The Dell, on Milton Road so we would go on a Saturday for the home games, buy a programme and go up to the balcony and watch.<\/p>\n
“I had many happy days there, and used to go to into The Dell a lot as well, and then when we moved to St Mary’s in 2001, I managed to get a couple of season tickets for the Kingsland Road stand, so my dad and I go.<\/p>\n
“We have a pair – he goes more than I do to be fair, I am normally travelling – so it has been a lifelong affliction, and you don\u2019t get to choose it really.<\/p>\n
“We have been narrowly avoiding or actively getting relegated for most of my life, but at least that has meant getting promoted too.<\/p>\n
“When we went down and down again, into League One with the points deduction for administration, that was pretty grim – but then we had the joy of going up twice, in back-to-back seasons under Nigel Adkins, an amazing promotion specialist.<\/p>\n
“So we have had some fun moments, but given where we are now I would take mid-table obscurity year in, year out.<\/p>\n
“This season is 100% just about staying up and it would be lovely to do it sticking to Russell Martin’s approach, because we play some fantastic football, but at the moment we are still a bit brittle, and things can collapse very easily.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
