TODAY is the last ever day of trading for the Saints Shop at The Dell.

The clearance sale continues until 5pm when the shutters will come down for the final time.

The shop will be the last part of the ground to close as staff prepare for the transfer to the Friends Provident St Mary's Stadium.

All week they have been loading crates which will be transported over the weekend with furniture already being installed.

Office staff will move in on Monday with the first game a week today against Espanyol.

Tickets go on general sale at the new stadium at 9am on Tuesday and the club are expecting a late surge in sales as the milestone moment draws closer.

Director Andrew Cowen said: "In years to come fans will still be talking about this long-awaited day and the fact that they were there to witness it.

"There is a real buzz of anticipation around the club not just among the fans but also the staff that it is finally happening. It is going to be a very busy but exciting week."
