A team of expert skydivers parachuted out of a plane, landing at Southampton’s Staplewood training facility.
Met by new Saints boss, Still, these five fans were then gifted their ‘Parachute Payment’, with many being lost for words.
Still explained: “The fans are what makes this club so special, and to be able to give something back for their amazing dedication over the years is always nice.
“They spend their hard earned money to support the club, and we’ll do everything we can this season to bring them happiness and pride.
“It’s not everyday that you get £1,000 delivered by a skydiver, so I’m sure they’ll remember this moment for a long time.”
One of the lucky competition winners was Julie Barrett, 64, from Eastleigh, who works in a home for people with dementia and has been a Southampton fan for over 50 years.
She said: “I suppose I’ll spend the money on football. Where I want to go this year is Wrexham away. Maybe I could stay and make a week of it!”
Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, commented: “We wanted to give some real meaning to the term ‘Parachute Payments’, and what better way than parachuting down cash to deserving fans.
“We’re extremely excited about our partnership with Southampton, and we want the club and its supporters to see Midnite as a partner who has their best interests at heart. Throughout the season we’ll be running a whole host of initiatives all designed to bring fans closer to the sport and club they love, and it has been brilliant to see the reaction of the supporters here today receiving their much deserved rewards.”
Midnite are the Official Training Kit Partner of Southampton Football Club for the 2025/26 Championship season.
Southampton are kicking off their campaign against Wrexham in one of the early kick offs on Saturday afternoon.
They are the big favourites to win their opening clash and are also fancied to get promoted this season with the aim to get straight back into the Premier League.
Still was appointed in May to take over from Ivan Juric following their relegation from the Premier League in a tough season for the Saints.
The Belgian boss will be looking to make the most of his first job in England having made quite the name for himself after getting his first managerial role aged just 24 back in 2017.
