bridge too far Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 My son is bringing me to the match tomorrow. He usually comes down by train but we'll be driving down tomorrow. I can't walk very far ATM (following accident / knee surgery). I'd be really grateful if you could give me an idea of where we can park that isn't too far for me to walk. We'll want to grab a bite before we get into the ground and we don't mind a REASONABLE taxi fare (2 adults, 1 child). Way back when we used to park Woolston side of the bridge but I wouldn't be able manage to walk that far for sure. Any sensible suggestions gratefully received. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsland Red Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 Under Charlotte Place / Jurys Inn , or the car park to the left on the entry approach road if you're early. Ten minutes walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 Park off Bedford Place, lots of eating choices and about, I'm guessing, a £7 taxi ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 You can park in Travis Perkins for £5 that goes to charity. About 5 mins walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 You could still park in Woolston for free then get the bus to the ground for £1 each. Can't say there's anywhere that good to eat there apart from the cafe which does a decent fry up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge too far Posted 11 April, 2014 Author Share Posted 11 April, 2014 Cheers everyone. I'll pass this info on but I'm inclined towards Bedford Place because of choice of eating potential and then taxi to the ground. Is it easy to pick up a taxi outside the ground after the match?

Personally Id go for Travis Perkins as mentioned above. You can still drive down after eating in Bedford Place / Oxford Street /wherever. Getting a taxi with 30,000 other people and traffic is pretty hit and miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 Always used to Park at College street. Always spaces if you are there around 1-1.15, taxi ride to the stadium of only a couple of quid. Spar shop near to the car park with an ATM if required. There is a noodle car just around the corner near to St Mary's Church with seating.

RobM Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 There's always West Quay, so you have food choices as well as parking. A taxi from there should be easy enough, especially via the downstairs 'back' entrance by Waterstones and Costa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaMarlin Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 Solent Uni don't put the barriers down on their car park on Saturdays on the East Park terrace entrance. Get in there early enough and park all day. Nobody minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 11 April, 2014 Share Posted 11 April, 2014 Not sure if they mean "busier than normal" but 'fyi' just in case.... scchighways @scchighways If you are coming for Saturday's @SouthamptonFC @CardiffCityFC game, it could be busy.
