Hi Chaps/Chapesses,

Hope you’re looking forward to 85% possession and a few goals.

I’m heading over from Brighton. Can anyone advise where best to park?

Also lots of clips and words here on previous encounters you may find of interest.

Getting To St Mary's | Southampton FC Official Site

Link provides a number of car parks. There's also street parking to be found if you're happy with a 20-30 minute walk to the ground and you arrive early enough. I tend to park near Mount Pleasant Industrial Estate.
 
What happened to Paul Murray at you guys? One of my favourite players in my youth and never seems to have got a game for you. Just not good enough?

That’s a name which required a google.
Signed by Wigley and only made one appearance for us. I wonder if anyone remembers it?

Reads from the article that he never fully recovered from serious injuries, most likely lost a bit of pace and dropped down the divisions.
Another reminder of how fragile footballers careers can be and how taking the money when you can is so very tempting.
 
Apologies in advance. Iam going to this one and despite going to about 8 home games a season, it's been over 2 years since I have seen saints win at Saint Mary's.

Hoping to have something to cheer and break my jinx.

Up for it, hope the team is.

It’s not you, it’s me having a new kitchen layout and failing in the dishwasher game.

That is a seriously old BBC page. Early days of the internet.

If you don't mind the walk I'd park somewhere in Woolston and then walk over the bridge. That'd be the quickest place afterwards to head out in that direction. Anywhere near the ground will take ages to get out city centre.

Also @Libby owes me £20 if any of you see him.

**** off <laugh>

I don't think I can make this one sadly. Our first match which looks like it should be comfortable on paper which makes me think it'll be anything but.

Thanks pal. Keep the £20.

As someone who lives in Woolston, please stop telling people to there. It's a nightmare for parking as it is <laugh>
 
Have you got your coke

Just deciding which Stone Island jumper to wear then I’m heading down for a 24 hour bender in the local Spoons/Brasshouse fuelled on Sussex’s finest Colombian powders. By the time we go 4-0 down I’ll be in a cell.

Edit- 48 hours. Feels like Friday

I’ll give you a wave. I’m in the opposite stand to you
