[Brighton] Southampton away - driving

[DavidRyder]

Hi all, from people's previous experiences, would anyone recommend Southampton as a good ground to drive to? Debating car v coach, so any help much appreciated. Cheers.

Wouldnt recommend it unless necessary, ie disabled access etc. Its one of the worst for driving, plenty of options though for driving to alternative rail stations and a walk or park and ride as opposed to having to take the coach as an alternative.

Surely this is really easy? If you don't want a few jars then drive, maybe have to park at a convenient railway station and get a train but so what? If you like a bevvy pre match then get the coach, alternatively if you also fancy a beer post match then get the train? I really didn't think this stuff was rocket science.

If you're driving from Brighton the A27 in rush hour (on way out) isn't very fun. Bit of a crap journey.

Thanks for the advice so far. Coach is winning.

I've driven on several occasions and never had a problem parking. There are several unofficial parking people in the industrial units near the stadium. Or you can park a mile away and walk without too much problem.

Im debating this to. Trouble is Seagulls Travel are not great at putting departure times on their website and knowing them it will leave Worthing at like 3PM or something!I

Driving, did not really want to but not many options

This is exactly my reason for asking too! Before I book a coach, I want to make sure I can get to the Amex in time, having only the PM off work. I called them but it is likely to be next week before we get timings.

We're driving. If we get the 10:00 from Soton it will be 2h 9m to get back to burgess hill station then add in half hour walk. Journey down gets a little busy around chichester but should be less than 90m to get back late at night.

Anyone know if you can use the match tickets on the local bus routes? I'm sure it was the case on a previous visit.

On an earlier thread someone suggested parking atsouthampton airport parkway which is just off the M27 and get a train in. 20 mins walk to stadium.
Then you miss all the traffic in Soton.
That's our plan to get there.

Last time I parked easily at Ocean Village which was about a 25 min stroll as I recall

Leaving Worthing at 3.20!

As I don't want to get to ground 3 hours early I will pass and drive down.

The wonderful voyage through Chichester roundabouts may slow one's progress a tad.
