[cite]Posted By: InspectorSands[/cite]It's a miserable ground in the back end of nowhere too, as I remember - not as bad as Coventry, but still pretty grim.
its less than five min walk from the city centre ? and less than 10 mins from the station ? i'm sure
Looking at our next few away games plenty of excuses for a no show
Wolves - people will be put off by price Southampton Bristol City - midweek Preston - stupid ko time Cardiff - midweek and distance and likelihood of a shoeing West Brom - week before xmas, money. Norwich - too far for Boxing Day
Wolves-Giving it a miss Southampton-I'll be there Bristol City-Been there a few times b4,might give it a miss Preston-Agreed pain in the arse ko time but i'll be up for that one too Cardiff-Shoeing schmoing,i'm there (My ex works in the heath hospital cardiff so i'm ok) West Brom-I'm in wales to see my little boy so i'm a no show Norwich-mmmmm
I think I may try and get to the Southampton game. It's the thought of the 10min drive and being able to park within 50 yards of the stadium that's putting be off.
You are right though that the stadium sits in the worst part of Southampton (and before anyone says it there are some nice bits).
All in all I'm looking forward to a "home" game and after we kick there a*rses spending the rest of the week taking the p*ss out of the bumpkins.
not doing southampton as it's a bit far for me but will definitely be going wolves, preston and maybe baggies.
i really fancied bristol and cardiff at the start of the season but i see no way to do those now thanks to the brilliant fixture list... sheffield to either of them door to door will never be a 3 hour journey so no can do!
Got fond memories of that place from when I worked there in their relegation season and they ain't a bad bunch saints fans and the city centre is food for thought for those up for an overnighter. Stop me if I'm wrong (Southampton addick!) but that polygon is the place to stay and is pretty cheap.
Only a couple of hours drive down the M3 either way M25 permitting.
done quite a few overnighters in Soton, mate went Uni there. A very very good Friday / Sat night out, we've stayed a couple of times at the Ibis which wasn't bad positioned, cheap and clean.
I think that Ibis is near where my digs were before. Neat the maple leaf???? I think thats what it's called, I'm probably wrong as I have a memory like a goldfish.
Right come on Medders do a roll call for this one. Who's rooming with me???

I aint, I know where you've been.
I'm out in Guildford on that Friday night, so I'll be going straight from there. Then have a 21st party on the Saturday evening, in the Poachers Pocket of all places Dicko!

Treat that as a comment about Southampton in general, then ;-)
I am being tempted for this one - I think we will take a few down as well.

Defo gonna make the effort to get down there for this one, as is a mate of mine who can rarely make aways.

Staying in the Novotel which my sis says is fairly decent and not too far from the ground.

What are you doing going to 21st parties anyway? You're old.
Girl at my Mrs' work...
Poachers is a lovely place. Pint, punch up, kebab...
