Southampton FC versus Swansea City at St Mary's Stadium, 2.15pm kick off. Sunday 18th September 2016.
.jpg)
Away fans are located in the Northam Stand at one end of the stadium, where normally up to 3,300 fans can sit. The view of the playing action and the facilities within this stand are excellent. Leg room is good, although the width of the seating seemed to be a bit narrower than other grounds. The sizeable concourse behind the stand features a Ladbrokes, has TV's which show the game as it is played and a number of eating and drinking outlets. There are plenty of staff and the queues never seemed to get particularly long, which was a pleasant surprise. There is also a 'Pie & Pint' outlet, that as the name suggests, only serves beer and pies.
The stadium has a great atmosphere and the facilities are first class. I particularly commend the Club for the friendliness of their staff, from the stewards to the catering staff. Even as I left the stadium, a steward wished me an enjoyable journey home! Considering that away supporters are almost treated with contempt at some other clubs, this was a refreshing change. Coupled with the relaxed attitude of the home supporters and the excellent facilities, then this to to me makes a visit to St Mary's one of the better days out in the League.
Phil Jones adds; 'There was an excellent view from all around the ground and the atmosphere was good. I was impressed by their having toilet facilities around the perimeter of the ground which are accessible prior to the turnstiles opening. Well done Southampton, it's the little touches like these, for the fans comfort and enjoyment of the day, which make all the difference'.
There are not many pubs located close to the stadium, so the choice for away fans is limited. There is the Waterfront Bar in William Street, which is an area called Shamrock Quay. You can visit the Waterfront Bar websitefor more details. Nic Hallam a visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers fan adds; 'In the Ocean Village we found "The Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis" public house. This large establishment had an an excellent choice of beers, friendly bar staff and a convivial mix of both home and away fans'.
Most fans seem to end up in the city centre before the game, where there are plenty of pubs to choose from. Paul Hunt a visiting Bristol City fan adds; 'On our last visit the Standing Order Wetherspoons outlet was for home fans only, with bouncers on the door. We ended up in Yates Wine Lodge in the central shopping area. There were also a lot of away fans in the Slug & Lettuce next door'. Away fans should avoid pubs along St Marys Street such as the Kingsland Tavern, Joiners and Isobar. Please remember though that if you do drink in the centre, that the stadium is a good twenty minute walk away. Otherwise alcohol is served within the ground. [Post edited 15 Sep 2016 10:54]

I went there a couple of years ago and I never realised the bloody big river was so close! Walked up into town as the recommended pub with parking near the ground had changed to home fans only. I think we lost and I was recovering from a severe case of the trots at the time so not a great day ;-) |  |

Last time I went to Southampton, I was driving me & my mates down. We were running late so I was tanking down the M3. Just before the big roundabout when you get to Southampton, I was pulled by an unmarked cop car who had been following me from the services by Newbury!
Think we drew 2-2 if I remember correctly, so my mates took great pleasure in reminding me that I was the only one to leave Southampton with 3 points!!!! |  |

Must have a good few left if they will be on sale at the gate.
Think we have sold 1500 so far so half full away end at the moment. | | | |

My mate & I parked there a couple of seasons back and the problem was getting out after the game. Parked in some industrial estate to the north of the ground last season which was fine, will probably head there again but hoping our performance is considerably better than last season's which was pretty underwhelming. |  | | |

Charlie Austin looking dangerous tonight, he has 2 goals, 1 pen, 1 header. | | | |

Have decided at the last minute to go to this game on Sunday. I understand away tickets will be available on the gate, but as at 14.30 today neither Swansea nor Southampton ticket offices can give me any idea how many are left in the away end.
I'm happy to drive down from home in Bromley on Sunday but I run the risk of there being no tickets left.
Anyone got any idea what our allocation is and how many we have sold so far? |  |
