its Quicker to get home to portslade from Southampton than P&R Mill Hill , especially if it is an evening match or Boxing Day fixture

Good question. I vacillated between south and south west, which led me to the realisation that not only did I not know this or where the south coast actually was but every region was fuzzy in my mind. So I googled it and apparently there are nine official regions of England, Dorset being in the South West.
Regions of England - Wikipedia
Further Googling has however so far failed to clarify what is considered the south coast. Some have it as Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Dorset. Some have it as the whole coast line along from cornwall to kent. One site had it as just Dorset, Hampshire and West Sussex.
I fear it's a mystery that will forever elude me.

Never seen Soton as any sort of rival. Neither like nor dislike. In fact they’re the very definition of “Meh” in footballing sense. Characterless.
Southampton is the worst place in the world.
While Burnley is a nice 4-guiness train ride from Leeds.
And where does 'the north' start (many threads on here somewhere!)Good question.

The Tees.
While I'm on the subject, we should get rid of everything between Lewes and the Tees.

Alcaraz is the Southampton player i'd be interested in

Do we give them a Guard of honour as a reward for not giving us one when we won the title.
You think we should plot an escape from Alcaraz?

Southampton is absolutely not the worst place in the world - far from it.
It's a little known fact that when Scott arrived at the South Pole and observed "God what an awful place", he followed this with "but at least we're not in Southampton".
I think of Southampton as a very big Newhaven

It’s a blooming sight more interesting and has more history than Newhaven.I think of Southampton as a very big Newhaven
- Roman remains
- a Saxon settlement.
- more of its town/city walls standing than York.
- where Henry V set sail from before the battle of Agincourt.
- where the Titanic sailed from
- two of the finest chalk streams in the world
- where Rishi Sunak comes from…… yuk!
- a Premier League football team………. For the next couple of weeks at least!
In other words, Southampton's so awful that thousands of people decided they'd rather emigrate than stay there.
I'll also never stop finding it bizarre that people in Southampton think anybody else considers how much of their city walls are still standing to be remotely interesting.
Although people from Newhaven aren't prone to getting prickly and defensive when told that it's horrible.I think of Southampton as a very big Newhaven
Whether that's indicative of a functioning sense of humour, or just realism, is probably debatable
Never mind all that, it may be interesting for people that can stand the smell when the tide is out.
Newhaven has plenty to offer.
Eazy-E memorial bench.
Hi Chi Minh monument.
Newhaven Fort - far more interesting than some old walls.
Saxon Road - the Saxon’s probably came here first and named a road in the town.
Plenty of military history, I’m sure someone famous sailed from here…. it’s not my specialist subject.
Plenty of daily sailings to Dieppe for many years……The Titanic sunk.
The River Ouse - I’m sure anyone walking from Newhaven to Lewes would be impressed with the countryside.
The South Downs - needs no explanation.
Wreckless Eric comes from the town.
Newhaven FC - current winners of the Peter Bentley Cup.
And it’s in SUSSEX!!
