    Something like a Travelodge? The one at Eastleigh (15 mins away) has rooms for £65.

    The Novotel has a room at £81. Get in quick as all rooms are going fast due to the match.

    Only too happy to help. Let me know before you book your B&B and I will tell you how far it is from town and what it looks like.


    ps, are you coming to support Southend?

    Do you happen to know if parking will be free anywhere in town on the Sunday?

    Thanks

    Southampton (Rownhams) Travelinn is £50 so I think we might go with that, it means driving into town but thats fine as we have the car.

    We need to use park and ride to get to the stadium, do you know how much the car park costs?

    Thanks again for all the searching

    Rownhams is fine. 15 mins by car from Town. There is NO free parking in Soton on Sundays (Council greed!). I suggest that you bus into town as it gets packed on a Sunday, shopping and the game. A bus stops outside your hotel and drops you into the center of town. You can have a drink and some lunch there and walk the 10 mins to SMS. Then you can walk away from the stadium (having lost, sorry) and get a bus to Rownhams. There is parking near the stadium for £5/£6 but it is manic trying to drive away after the game.
    PM me if I can be of help. I'm away from my PC until Friday though. If all this sounds complicated, hail a cab from the hotel. You might be able to share the cab with others.
