DIRECTIONS
Parking Restrictions
There is hardly any parking available at the stadium and there are parking restrictions to be put in force for the local area. Many fans appear to be parking in the City Centre and then taking the 15-20 minute walk to the stadium.

However, you might want to take advantage of a park & ride scheme that the club have set up just off Junction 8 of the M27 - specifically for away supporters. It's free and buses will transport you to and from the ground, which is about 20 minutes away. Ticket stubs for the park & ride should come with your match-ticket.

Otherwise, avoid the traffic in the city centre by parking on the other side of the Itchen Toll Bridge in Woolston, or alternatively park in the Marina area and head out of town on the A3024 before linking up with the motorway.

Directions by road
Take the M3 then the A33 into Southampton. Continue on the A33 until you reach the junction with the A3024 Northam Road and turn left onto this road towards Northam. Then turn right onto the B3038, Britannia Road for the stadium.

Public Transport
Rail: The stadium is located around one and a half miles away from Southampton station (where there is also quite a large car park), which should take about 30 minutes to walk. Turn left out of the station's southern entrance and walk up Western Esplanade, which becomes Civic Centre Road. Remain on the Civic Centre Road and walk between the Civic Centre and the Marlands Shopping Centre. Eventually a crossroads is reached with the Nationwide Building Society on one corner and Lloyds Bank on another. Cross into New Road and follow this road across a park and past a college. Eventually you will reach a complex road junction with a number of traffic lights. Cross Kings Way into Northam Road and follow this road for quarter of a mile until you reach the ground on your right.

There is also a shuttle bus in operation taking fans from the station to the ground. This operates from the Blechynden Terrace bus stop outside the station.

AROUND THE GROUND
Local things of interest: Marina complex with American themed family entertainment centre. Plenty of maritime heritage. It's only the second season that supporters will have the chance to visit the snappily titled Friends Provident St. Mary's Stadium. Having finally said goodbye to the charming, if slightly decaying, Dell, the Saints have moved into the St Mary's district of the city. Doubling their ground capacity in the process, this should make for a different day out on the South Coast than fans had become accustomed to.

Pubs: The Prince of Wales, The Bevois Castle and The Station have been recommended as good friendly pubs for away fans. Ocean Village is also worth a look for those in need of a pre-match pint, but the Cooper's Arms near the ground is a home favourite. (Note: away supporters are generally expected to hide colours). Otherwise alcohol is served within the ground, but bear in mind that smoking is not allowed within the seated areas of the stadium.

Local Eateries: Usual city centre chains and fast food restaurants otherwise food in the concourses of the ground.
