    Aye it does, over the Itchen Bridge past Woolston, it's called Weston Shore. Or colloquially known as the Costa del Dole.. teehee. It's not as bad as it seems, nice for a walk in the summer but not really a destination put it that way.

    Yeah it's a great place, just as long as the upstairs is open. Might get a bit packed. And apologies I meant to put microbrewery not micropub, it's a fairly big place. One last thing, if you do decide to head off to Bevois Valley (the Hobbit, Guide Dog etc) don't be tempted to take a shortcut...

    As for pubs nearer the stadium, I would avoid the Kingsland Tavern. The Angel however is under new management and the landlord Huw has done a fantastic job of transforming the place, making it a lot more welcoming so is worth a visit. There's no bad blood between Coventry and Southampton so...

    There's nowhere else in Southampton you'd be able to sit down in a restaurant and have a curry at that time in the morning. IIRC I was eating in there at 5am once. There's two of them on Onslow Road.

    Another tip is if you're staying toward the sea, you could always go to Ocean Village for a drink before the match. It's really not that far from there to the stadium. It's about a ten minute walk, just use Google to tell you where to go but it's pretty much a straight line once you get past the...

    If you're going there I'd recommend also visiting the South Western Arms and the Dolphin about a 5-10min walk from there next to St Deny's railway station. Remember there is a walkway along the Itchen river from Horseshoe Bridge that will take you to Northam Bridge, not far from the stadium...

    4th Round draw

    Can I just apologise as I didn't realise how much parking may be an issue at some of these hotels. For parking the best is probably the Premier Inn on Harbour Parade as it's surrounded by a load of multi-story carparks. I also can't believe that the Premier Inn on New Road charges £10/day to...

    4th Round draw

    I think you're in with a shot, Saints are very inconsistent at the moment, especially with Adam Armstrong and Che Adams misfiring a bit. I'm sure Armstrong will settle in overtime (so much potential, did a great job with you guys too) but it's still early days. Plus Stephens although very...

    4th Round draw

    The best one is Cumberland Place but Harbour Parade one is pretty decent too and more central. I'm not saying the New Road one is terrible but in a much rougher area and pretty old as well. Nothing wrong with the Travelodge on Castle Way though, only about 8 years old too. That said, someone...

    4th Round draw

    The new Travelodge isn't far from there. Did you stay at the Dolphin? It's a nice hotel but there's a bar right opposite that's open late, sometimes until 3am and people sit outside making a racket. To be honest there are loads of B&Bs in the Hill Lane area (where the old Dell was) that's not...

    4th Round draw

    Will be a bit of a mix. I'm not even sure what our first team even is at the moment lol the way things have been going. One thing is for certain that you'll see Shane Long come off the bench lol.

    4th Round draw

    If you're going to stay at Premier Inn I would recommend staying at one of the new ones. The old one may be closer to the stadium but it's not great to be honest and right on the junction of a very noisy road. Travelodge is fine though although like Premier Inn, the older one (on the Avenue)...

    4th Round draw

    Hello, Saints fan here. I hope you guys enjoy the tie and the day out. If any of you need to drive here (particularly if you're taking your family down) I'm more than happy to allow you to use my parking space for free. I live in a small close in the city centre a couple of hundred yards from...
