Guide to Southampton

[Slipperduke]

I've got a guide here from a Southampton fan on the F365 Forum. It includes a nice big map with all the pubs marked out on it.

Personally I fancy one of the pubs at Ocean Village, nice spot down there overlooking the harbour, if it's a nice day it should be a good spot for a few scoops.

Frog & Frigate sounds like a winner for me

And some "bird" watching, from what I hear Soton is fairly well stocked with Melanie Slade types! :p

 

[SUFCEssex]

any idea what parking is like?

Chadded. Take notes

;)

There is an allocated park and ride just for away fans at the Bursledon junction of the M27, otherwise use city centre parking which is about a 15 minute walk to the stadium, and you would be more welcome in the city pubs, stay away from the pubs in and around St Marys estate.

You can also park at Ocean Village which too is a 15 minute walk and some nice pubs on the water.

With it being a 1pm kick off and on a sunday, aren't we going to struggle to find anywhere to drink before the game?

Most pubs are open from 10am for the game.

Really? Good news.

I think there'll be quite a few Shrimpers (myself included) coming up on the saturday. Have you got any recommendations for things to get up to in Southampton for saturday afternoon and evening?

Depends if you are driving or not? For beers I would suggest a tipple or two by the marina if it is sunny. Most of the clubs should be open, depending on your age a likes will determine where you go.

There are also a number of really good live music venues in Southampton if that is your thing.

Depends what you are after really.

Drinking - Above Bar Street
Live Music - Bevois Valley
Prostitutes - Bevois Valley
Marina ( Posh pubs ) - Ocean Village
Slags - Leisure World
Fighting - St Marys or Leisure World

Half hour in each place sounds a good 'un!

Not sure if the Frog & Frigate is still there. I know there's been some demolition work down in that area, but I could be wrong. Anyway, it doesn't exactly "overlook the harbour". There are currently two pubs that do that at Ocean Village - Pitcher & Piano and Banana Wharf I think the other one is called.

I went to St Mary's a few seasons ago and drank outside a Tapas bar overlooking the Marina, is that still there?

Well Giddy Bridge on London Road and Standing order on Below Bar Street are open from 9, if you want a real early drink the some around the docks have the "Market Licence" so are open from 8.

Nope, it has gone now, you have Cork and Bottle, or if you want to look over the marina you have Pitcher and Piano or Banana Wharf.

Through work I'm familiar with the docks and area around thanks.

What's the consensus on where the majority of shrimpers are going to be drinking on Sunday?

I was going to opt for Ocean Village but I reckon either the Old Fat Cat or the Square Balloon are a better bet as they're on the way from the rail station.

What are all of of you doing, assuming you're not spivving your tickets to desperate scummers?

Also, what are people's plans for Saturday night/Sunday night, presuming you're staying the weekend?

I can't go drinking before the game, but I will be out in Town Quay on Saturday night and somewhere yet to be decided on Sunday night.
