redsaints106 Posted 1 August, 2022 Share Posted 1 August, 2022 After many years of living away from Southampton and working weekends I have finally managed to get a job where I’m off weekends and have purchased a season ticket for the first time! I will be travelling down from Gloucester game days and was hoping someone could help out with some advice for parking near the stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 1 August, 2022 Share Posted 1 August, 2022 Plenty of places around the ground - if you’re early some free roadside parking on the trading estate near Shamrock Quay, few businesses charge £7-£10 to park in their yard round there. Think some folk park for free in the Northam Business park just over the Northam Bridge. some food for thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 1 August, 2022 Share Posted 1 August, 2022 Also a fiver all day in the West Quay shopping centre multi-storey. 20 minute or so walk to the ground from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 1 August, 2022 Share Posted 1 August, 2022 @redsaints106 - we usually park in the Six Dials car park. Half way between city centre and the stadium, so 10 minute walk into town for pre-match lunch, and 10 minute walk back from the stadium after the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miserableoldgit Posted 1 August, 2022 Share Posted 1 August, 2022 You can buy a Parking Season Ticket from the Club.....they are not particularly cheap. The price depends on how close they are to the ground. Not too bad I suppose if you car share. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadesmith Posted 1 August, 2022 Share Posted 1 August, 2022 To be honest in the post Covid era most of the car parks in town rarely fill up now even on match day. I often park in East Street multi storey. I think about £5-£7 for over 5 hours and a 15 minute walk to ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it can be a bit of a pain getting back out after the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 1 August, 2022 Share Posted 1 August, 2022 I usually park in Eastgate MSCP, pretty secure and not expensive, not a bad walk to the ground and near the shops/restaurants for sticking around after. However I don't mind a walk and the last couple of times I've parked in Bedford Place and Ordnance Road which made more sense as I come in down the Avenue and had a nice drop of beer in the London Road Brew house pre-match. Long gone are the days of Lime Street and pre-match pints in the Oak... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the parking restrictions in and around the city centre and the inner avenue you might find it easier to park somewhere around Bitterne Train Station and make the short walk across Northam Bridge before and after the game (or jump on a bus). At least that way afterwards you’ll avoid the gridlock of the city centre and will be able to head over Cobden Bridge to Thomas Lewis Way and join the motorway home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted 2 August, 2022 Share Posted 2 August, 2022 There’s a multi story in Ocean Village too, about 10 mins from the ground and you walk past a lot of the traffic on your way out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBizzier69 Posted 2 August, 2022 Share Posted 2 August, 2022 Must admit, I’ve always parked in or around Bedford Place on the road….never had a ticket although possibly by luck. Certainly Sundays and evenings it’s not a problem anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted 2 August, 2022 Share Posted 2 August, 2022 Sadly the council look like they're about to reinstate charges for parking in Council Car Parks for evening games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danjosaint Posted 2 August, 2022 Share Posted 2 August, 2022 (edited) As long as your early ish the car park in Woolston at the side of Itchen bridge is a good bet, I parked in ocean Village multi story once and it was a mare getting out Edited 2 August, 2022 by danjosaint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 2 August, 2022 Share Posted 2 August, 2022 We always park in Woolston. I quite like the walk over the Itchen Bridge apart from when it's raining and windy. Then it's just horrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 2 August, 2022 Share Posted 2 August, 2022 I’m going to be cheeky, but remain on subject, we’re off to the Ageas Bowl tomorrow night for the Hundred, anyone got any recommendations not involving a massive hike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parking for the Ageas Bowl when it is busy is dreadful. Made the mistake of trying out the P&R for the T20 game v SA on Sunday. Queued for an hour to get in and then waited an hour for the bus back after the game. Won't be doing that again. It's a shame as it's a great ground once you are in. Personally, I don't mind a 20-30 min walk before and after a game - just want to be able to get away easily once back at the car. If anyone has any good suggestions then I would also appreciate them for next time I go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Whitey 🤣I park there too, as long as you get there at least an hour before kick off it’s normally pretty clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to like it more when we were in the lower divisions. At least you didn’t have to arrive early to find a space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
