Midnite runs free coaches for Southampton fans to FA Cup semi-final at Wembley
Midnite is bringing back its “Midnite Express” fan travel initiative, offering free coach transport for Southampton supporters to Wembley for the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City on Saturday, April 25.
The betting brand said three luxury coaches will take more than 100 fans on the round trip from St Mary’s Stadium to Wembley. The company positioned the move as a response to fan requests on social media following Southampton’s FA Cup win over Arsenal.
The trip also coincides with the 50th anniversary of Southampton’s 1976 FA Cup win at Wembley. Midnite said it recently marked that moment with a dedicated TIFO during Southampton’s match with Arsenal, created with a fan-led TIFO committee.
Fans travelling on the coaches will be joined by former Southampton players Shane Long, Franny Benali and Ken Monkou, according to the company.
Andrew Mook, Head of Brand Marketing at Midnite, said: “The response to the Midnite Express this season has been incredible and when fans asked for it to return, we were keen to deliver.
“Supporting Saints fans is central to what we do, whether that is easing the challenges around travel or helping create memorable experiences around the game.
“This is a huge moment for Southampton, especially in such an important anniversary year, and we are proud to help fans get there to support their team.
“We hope this journey will make the match day experience even better.”
