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) suffers from similar issues to the old Premier Inn one above.

A nice place to stay is the Elizabeth House Hotel nearby. You're also not far from London Road and Bedford Place for going out which is nice. Maybe have a roast at the cowherds pub too. Also not much wrong with staying in Eastleigh and getting the train to and from there if it's cheaper.

If you don't plan on staying out really late you could always stay at the new Village Hotel toward Chandler's Ford, as long as you get the No. 1 bus. It's £1 after 6pm at the moment (until further notice). Mainly if you're driving down as it's a bit of a walk to Eastleigh railway station.

1 - Southampton to Winchester

I had to work down there a few years ago, I think I stayed on the High St above or very close to Wetherspoons

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 far from the railway station, which although not the town side (so an extra walk) will be a more pleasant place to stay imho and probably a bit cheaper.

The old grand harbour hotel although on a road junction, is an okay and very convenient place to stay, it use to be 5* but is now 3* lol after a new 5* hotel (called the Harbour Hotel) opened in Ocean Village. You also have the IBIS the other side of IKEA. All within Spitting distance of the town centre, Just use the West Quay or Asda lifts to get up to Above Bar Street level lol.

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 did take a dump in the carpark there recently lol.

If anyone wants any advice on where to go for a beer, especially if you're into real ale, just let me know. Not sure which pubs may be off limits to away supporters but I can find out no worries.

If the game is on a Friday or Saturday and you want a mad night out, you must visit the Frog and Frigate! Trust me it's a unique experience to say the least. That said, if you're not vaccinated could be a bit of a risk with covid as it can get very packed.

Saints currently 4-1 up v Brentford, and are without a game for a fortnight before they face us. They are a very good side - luckily I'm a 'concentrating on the league' type (unless we win!)

That will be a good win and Southampton are improving. But I also think Brentford have had their little honeymoon period and might struggle a bit second half of the season.

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 experienced (I mean he played in the League Cup final for one), is not the best lately. Will be interesting to see if he plays as Lyanco and Salisu have been playing well.

I really feel Saints have some decent depth these days, especially in midfield with the likes of Elyounoussi, Stuart Armstrong and Diallo coming off the bench. I mean all of them could make the 'first team' easily. I think Diallo started to day and imo he's the least convincing of those three.

I just wonder whether Mousa Djenepo or Walcott will play. No disrespect to them but if either of those tow play I think that's a good indication we're not fielding a really strong side.

*just looked at Elyounoussi is listed as a forward but much more of an attacking midfielder.

Think we had Stephens on loan from you a while ago. That Broja looks a decent player. How the hell you manage to spell half of your players I'll never know. You seem to have a bit of pace in your side, which may be our biggest problem. We will at least win the singing battle, regardless!

That's interesting really, Walcott's career trajectory, not many players peak at 19!

Confirmation that we're not one of the live games, which is no surprise. Therefore I guess that means 3pm Saturday or 2pm Sunday. As Portsmouth are away on Saturday and Bournemouth's match is confirmed for Sunday, I suspect 3pm Saturday is most likely.

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 use what is effectively their own carpark.

The central Travelodge has the cheapest parking of all these cheap central hotels (£5/day) but is on a first come, first served basis.

If you don't mind walking a little then the Travelodge on the Avenue (SO14 6QR) suddenly looks like a more attractive option (parking is £4/day) but once again, it's first come first served. If you were desperate I guess you could use the council carpark on Cemetery Road. Just beware of 'nocturnal activity' there. Could easily use the bus from there too as there are very regular buses ( Uni-link ) into the city centre (but not directly to the stadium) but then what's the point paying for that too.

Remember buses after 6pm are still £1 per ride. Bluestar is the parent company of Uni-link bus.

From the City Centre you can also get a Bluestar Bus (normally No. 18 or 16) that will drop you off near the stadium (on A3024 opposite Old Northam Rd (junction to Brinton's Rd) but it's only like 5-10 minute walk down New Road from the city centre (Above Bar) anyway.

Great price but this probably means it will sell out in phase 1. If it’s 2 per ST they will all go in a few hours of going on sale.

I would have thought that would be very unlikely. The general sale price of £15 is still a bargain though,
