Best place to Park

There will be hardly anyone there tonight so you'll have no trouble getting away quick.

 

Dunno about parking though as I come from the East of the city and walk over the Itchen Bridge from Woolston.

 

I'm quite tempted by this option, looks like a 20 minute walk and then beat most of the traffic after the game, we've driven over the bridge before the last 2 home games.

 

What's the parking like in Woolston? Pubs? That big one right on the bridge looks fairly Saints related?

 

Anybody else (hundreds!) get caught up in that M3 business on Saturday? We sat in the Charlotte Place car park total gridlock for 15 minutes then did a right turn back down towards the ground and went out to the M27/A3. My phone had the M3 down as shut till 8.00pm. Don't know how accurate that was?

Yep, motorcycle accident apparently.

 

We too took forever to get out of the short road leading up to Charlotte Place. Ended up sticking with it but took about an hour in total to get from car park to start of M3. Then came of at Winchester and headed up the A31. Home by 7.

There's loads of street parking in Woolston. Some of it is permits only but that's only a small bit near the bridge. I normally park in Radstock Road but you can drive down Garton Road by Woolston Station and park right by the bridge for free. Best to turn your car around before you park though as it's a dead end and generally gets full up the nearer to kick off you get anf can be a pain to turn around if you are back swiftly.

 

As for pubs the big one is called the Bridge and is definitely Saints. There's not really any other pubs around that bit of Woolston for some reason.

I always use the East Street multistorey. Well-lit, secure and cheap. About 10-15 mins walk from the stadium.

 

Me too, though it's not the easiest car park to get in or out of on foot - one set of slippery stairs or the ramp to the car park.

It is well located though, good for The Royal Oak for a pre-match bevvy, and it's free to park after 6pm iirc.

 

EDIT: Lime Street's the one I meant...
