Where are people planning to drink before the match? Hoping to be at our hotel in the city centre for 4 and then planning to be in a pub packed with Town fans all being well. Saw something about a pub in St Denys but looks a bit of a trek out from the centre.

According to a Southampton colleague, the main row of pubs and those usually allocated for away fans is on Above Bar Street, round the corner from the station. There’s a ‘spoons and Yates’ among other places.

With 4,000+ Town fans in the vicinity we’re going to need more than one pub, so it would be good to keep everyone close together for a proper takeover.

Belgium and Blues is good if you like the craft beer scene ,quite like it there its quite small though .

If you want a spoons it might be worth going to the giddy bridge its about a 20 min walk from the ground ,it will be less busy than in the town i think ,i quite like the Alexander hotel it used to be a place with retro gaming consoles and a decent crowd ,not sure if thats still there though as have not been down there in a good few years .

If anyone is bringing the wife who wants to do some shopping send her to WestQuay its a bigger version of Meadowhall with loads of restaurants in to on the top deck .

How often do Southampton find their away end sold out?

Every week its filled more or less they only give 3k tickets and average 31k so assume its to capacity most weeks .

They are in meltdown though ,i honestly think its our realistic chance (probably ever ) to get to an FA cup quarter final -more Palace than Chelsea . They are going to rotate heavily and their fanbase is highly disgruntled atm ;its not an over exageration that we could be playing them in a league game in the not too distant future .

Anywhere around Guildhall square is meant to be good and will be a 20 min walk to the ground. Hoping we might end up there afterwards as well…

That's pretty near our hotel so that works for me.

What's it like for those of us that are travelling by coach? From what I can gather they park the coaches at the stadium. Will I have a long walk for a beer?

I've actually got a room booked for the night above a pub called The Grapes, so I'll probably start in there, then get a kebab or something and then find a another pub closer to the ground packed with fans

The Grapes was a half decent pub when I lived in Southampton 10 years ago. No Early Doors characters in there though. Cracking Indian a few doors down and a pub across the road that hosts cross dressing karaoke, if that's your bag.

About a good half half hr+ walk to the ground from there.
