Southampton FC play Cupid; lend fan helping hand for a date

St Mary’s Stadium

The media team at Southampton are going all out to bring love between two fans at the St Mary’s. It all began when a fan posted a tweet about a girl who was seated at the stadium during the Saint’s home game against Everton which the home side won eventually 3-0.

When the club advised him to ask the girl out for a drink, he said he would get back to them on the 28th when Southampton took on Chelsea at home. Unfortunately, he couldn't turn up for that game and is likely to be present for the match against Arsenal at home on New Year’s Day.

@SouthamptonFC Unreal looking girl that sits 4 seats next to me that keeps giving me eyes. Can you tell me who sits in block 24 seat 626?

@SouthamptonFC @StGaryofBrant so basically to put it brutally, man up and speak to her is what you're saying?

@_timcorn You can't simply force someone into a zorb race. Man up and ask if she fancies a drink – no lady can resist a hot Bovril.

@SouthamptonFC I'll tweet you again on the 28th to let you know how it went...

The club tried to find out updates on Tim after the Chelsea game only to find out that he hadn’t made it to the match at all.

Any updates for us, @_timcorn? #saintsfc

It is then that the club decided to take matters into their own hands. They made a video playing the whole situation out and also placingwith some roses and a Bovril voucher on the lady in question’s seat for today’s game against Arsenal. The hashtag being used is #GoodLuckTim with fans all over the world rooting for Tim and love alike.
