Mind where you do park, though, as some roads have permit parking that kicks in whenever there’s a Saints game. Not sure if cars are checked for permits, but a fine would take the edge off a good home win.
One route to St Mary's is to park (free) at the Ageas Bowl in West End and get the bus (free) to the ground and back, depending where you are travelling from. There are no parking restrictions and it works like clockwork. The bus leaves on the hour at 13.00 and 14.00hrs and is usually a 1/2hr journey.
There are three small car parks in Radcliffe Road (SO14 0PH), charge £5-00 or £8-00 depending on which one you use and if you get there early enough. A short, level walk to the Ground. The prime drawback is getting out afterwards, you have go via Northam Bridge route or over the notorious Mount Pleasant Level Crossing which can have the barriers down for the passage of trains for quite a while.
Captain Smith who went down with the Titanic used to live in Winn Road. We won`t have a sinking feeling though !
He had interesting comments on Danso too. Said there's been talks to extend the loan into next year or sign him outright. Apparently he's seen as a "project". They think he's talented but with our defensive struggles early this year the time wasn't there to get him ready to play the kind of CB role that RH wants. Seems weird but who knows. Everything about Danso and his time here has been odd tbh.
Given the worldwide spread of our not606ers there isn’t anyone in Mumbai who could invite him to join us is there?
I think of Jack Stephens and Harrison Reed as youngsters in their early twenties, but Stephens is 26 today and Reed 25.
