    ..attached to my match ticket. Does this mean parking is going to be a la AMEX stadium again? Or have I read it wrong and it's offering me free park and Ride?!
    Thoughts welcome..,especially from those who have been before.

    By the sounds of it to me it seems that you'll go to a car park somewhere where the park and ride is, pay £8 to park there and a bus will take you there and back from the match.

    Same kind of thing we did when we were at Millennium Stadium.

    Not been before, but you might want to take a coach at £25 rather than all that petrol/diesel plus parking.

    Gonna need a good wage or pension to cover any costs this Saturday considering ticket prices and distance. COYR

    No idea on the park and ride but whenever I have been to Southampton I've either just parked in the Multi story on the edge of the town centre or on an open air pay and display both around a 15 minute walk to the ground. They have been fine if getting there between 12 and 1pm but guess they are full by 2:30

    the park and ride is just off junc 8 of the m27, about a 20 to 30 minute bus ride to the ground, the buses are given priority after the match and as the park is close to the motorway you are on your way pretty quickly. never used it but i guess its £8 per car
