"Saints have confirmed the travel arrangements and parking areas for the match with Portsmouth on 7th April.

 

As agreed between Southampton Football Club, Portsmouth FC and Hampshire Police, Portsmouth will travel to St Mary's in escorted coaches, replicating the travel operation for the away fixture which was put in place for the previous meeting in December.

 

With this in mind, we would like to advise all supporters of the following road closures and restrictions around St. Mary's Stadium on Saturday 7th April ahead of the 1pm kick-off.

 

1. The North Car Park will be closed and not accessible to any home supporters adjacent to the away turnstiles.

 

2. Home supporters in The Northam Stand must access their turnstiles via the footbridge or the rear of the Kingsland Stand.

3. Britannia Road will be completely closed from 10am.

 

4. Victoria Road will be closed from 10am.

 

5. Rochester Street will be closed from 10am.

 

6. Only ticket Office 1 will be open pre match for future fixture sales, tickets for the Portsmouth fixture must be collected prior to the matchday. All ticket offices will be closed after the match.

 

7. There will be no access to the North Car Park or Britannia Road until the Portsmouth supporters' buses have departed after the match.

We thank supporters in advance for their co-operation with the aforementioned procedures, to repeat the successful implementation of this strategy at Fratton Park."

Then those people are stupid for not thinking to check.

 

If there was any sense the Echo would pop this in the paper and Saints will put it in programmes and over tannoy nearer the date.

 

No doubt some will still say they didn't know.

May be worth making this a sticky up to the game, so people can't say it slipped down the list and they missed it. Mod's choice though.

Seems sensible, not much different to arrangements for some of the proper nawty clubs

Slight error in that article, its Victoria Street, not Victoria Road. Unless they intend to ferry them across from Woolston in LSTs!

What happens if the fences get rattled?

What happens if the fences get rattled?

the police will tear gas everyone then use tazers on the stragglers, who will be taken to a special containment area to be immediately tried & executed by hanging

Not even that, they'll just shoot them in the backs of their heads in the street like the dogs they are.

Will pubs be open as normal for us?

Then our prisons will be over-flowing for the next year.

It's a practical joke - the skates are going to have an afternoon running around Royal Victoria Country Park.

They considered this idea but felt that having all those skates on the river would pose a significant danger to the local fish population.
