How to get there:

By Car:
TAKE the M3 then the A33 into Southampton. Continue on the A33 until you reach the junction with the A3024 Northam Road and turn left onto this road towards Northam. Then turn right onto the B3038, Britannia Road for the stadium.

By Rail:
THE stadium is located around one and a half miles away from Southampton station (where there is also quite a large car park), which should take about 30 minutes to walk. Turn left out of the station's southern entrance and walk up Western Esplanade, which becomes Civic Centre Road. Remain on the Civic Centre Road and walk between the Civic Centre and the Marlands Shopping Centre. Eventually a crossroads is reached with the Nationwide Building Society on one corner and Lloyds Bank on another. Cross into New Road and follow this road across a park and past a college. Eventually you will reach a complex road junction with a number of traffic lights. Cross Kings Way into Northam Road and follow this road for quarter of a mile until you reach the ground on your right.

By Bus:
THERE is a shuttle bus in operation taking fans from the station to the ground. This operates from the Blechynden Terrace bus stop outside the station.

Parking:
THERE is hardly any parking available at the stadium and there are parking restrictions to be put in force for the local area. Many fans appear to be parking in the City Centre and then taking the 15-20 minute walk to the stadium.

However, you might want to take advantage of a park & ride scheme that the club have set up just off Junction 8 of the M27 – specifically for away supporters. It’s free and buses will transport you to and from the ground, which is about 20 minutes away. Ticket stubs for the park & ride should come with your match-ticket.

Otherwise, avoid the traffic in the city centre by parking on the other side of the Itchen Toll Bridge in Woolston, or alternatively park in the Marina area and head out of town on the A3024 before linking up with the motorway.

Other than the football...:

A lovely city that boasts a port and an excellent shopping centre, as well as numerous bars and clubs, the university city of Southampton makes for a good place to visit.

Southampton Sea.

The shopping here is exceptional. With the magnificent WestQuay, a £300 million development which opened in September 2000, Southampton has added to it extensive portfolio a state of the art shopping facility. Home to almost a hundred shops including fifty fashion outlets, WestQuay also houses massive major stores such as John Lewis, Waitrose and Marks and Spencer. Next door the West Quay Retail Park offers the larger retailers that are normally located on the outskirts of town, here just in walking distance from the High Street.

Southampton Shopping Centre.

There are three other major shopping centres in the centre of the city. Marlands Shopping Centre, close to the Civic Centre and railway station offers a wide range of shops, from home furnishings to fashion, with cafés and restaurants. The Bargate Centre has established itself as the place to buy the latest lifestyle accessories, whether for clubbing or surfing (the sea or the net). For more traditional and specialist shopping try East Street, Bedford Place and Above Bar.

If you are looking for ornaments and curios, perhaps some memorabilia from the great age of ocean liners, why not visit the antiques quarter around Old Northam Road.

In between shops take time out and enjoy some people watching and a cappuccino in one of the city's many chic cafés, or why not venture upstairs in WestQuay where the Food Terrace offers tempting choices for lunch. Getting around could not be easier. All the shopping areas, which have car parks and are very close to the train station, are within a few minutes of each other and there is a free bus service, the City Link, which connects WestQuay with the railway station, Town Quay for the Hythe and Isle of Wight ferries.

For dining out there are numerous choices. True to the Southampton spirit there is a wide range of the best in international cuisine. You'll find American diners, Greek tavernas, Thai restaurants and some exceptional Italian and Indian eateries. There are plenty of places to grab quick snacks if you're in a hurry, including the internet café in the Bargate Shopping Centre. Close to the marinas is the historic Oxford Street where you'll find elegant café bars and restaurants serving the very best of contemporary British and Continental cuisine.

Southampton has a Marina complex with an American themed family entertainment centre. This has plenty of maritime heritage and is sure to be a fun day out for a family.

Southampton Art Gallery.

Southampton City Art Gallery can offer something for everyone, whether you're young or old, a lifelong fan or going to a gallery for the first time. Exhibitions and displays range from ancient culture to the cutting-edge and the Gallery is internationally renowned for its impressive art collection, spanning six centuries of European art history. The Gallery is housed within a beautiful example of 1930's municipal architecture.

Thousands of visitors explore the exhibitions and displays every month and, through a programme of educational activities, we aim to provide opportunities for greater access, involvement and understanding of art, for people of all ages.

Southampton is a thriving modern city but you don't have to explore too far to discover its amazing past.

Southampton Heritage.

Below the modern streets can be found evidence of occupation from prehistoric times to the present, including important Roman and Saxon settlements, and the late Saxon and medieval town and villages that laid the basis for the modern city and suburbs. The unique location at the head of Southampton Water early on became an important trading post and later a port.

Large parts of the centre of Southampton were destroyed during the Second World War. However some important medieval buildings and structures survive, along with buildings dating to the 19th century redevelopment of the town. These include the Wool House (Maritime Museum), Medieval Merchants House, God's House Tower (Museum of Archaeology), Tudor House Museum, and a superb length of medieval town wall.

Southampton has important archives, collections and other sources for local and family history research. The city also has a unique Oral History Unit, recording the memories of local people.

If you're looking for some nightlife, then Southampton is very good. There are a whole host of bars and clubs, including Bar Centro, Bar Med, Kelly's, Lizard Lounge and the Rhino Club. The clubs are Four 2 6, Ikon Diva, New York New York, The Academy, Voltz and there is also a Jumpin' Jaks.

If you want something to eat before the match, there are the usual city centre chains and fast food restaurants. Otherwise, food in the concourses of the ground.

When it comes to a pre-match beer, as most fans seem to end up in the city centre before the game, there are plenty of pubs to choose from. We recommend the following pubs: 'The Prince of Wales', 'The Bevois Castle' and 'The Station' as good friendly pubs for away fans. Ocean Village also has a lot of friendly drinking holes. I found a good mix of home and away fans in a Wetherspoons Pub; 'The Standing Order' in the city centre. Remember though that the stadium is a good twenty minute walk away.

I did discover a small pub called the Chapel Arms (formerly the Le Tissier Arms), which was only five minutes walk away from the stadium. Although a predominantly 'home' pub you seem to be able to get served okay if you arrive fairly early or have colours covered (for some reason they started to refuse serving away fans nearer kick-off time). To find this pub, simply go to the corner of the stadium that has the Saints Superstore on it (between the Itchen & Chapel Stands) and then walk towards the city centre along the road, that runs beside the river and you will come to the pub on your right. Another recommended pub is 'The Coopers Arms' on Belvedere Road (5-10 mins walk away from the ground), which is good for both home and away supporters and is amongst the closest to the away coaches dropping off point in Britannia Rd through the local industrial estate.

'The Bevois Castle' does a fantastic full English breakfast for £2 on Saturday match days. It is well worth a visit as it is very welcoming towards away supporters. If travelling by train, I would also recommend alighting at St Denys Station, as this is slightly closer to the ground (about a 25-minute walk away), and there are three pubs within a two-minute walk (Bevois Castle is about 5-10 mins from here) - 'The Dolphin', 'The Junction' and also 'The South Western' - which was recently voted the 4th best pub in Great Britain by CAMRA. Their selection of Real Ales is fantastic! Around the St Denys area, there is also plenty of street parking.

Otherwise alcohol is served within the ground.

A Hatter and a Saint - Kerry Dixon

Kerry Dixon.

Luton-born Kerry Dixon was firstly a Tottenham apprentice, but got a first taste of League football for his next club Reading. Joining the Elm Park outfit for £20,000, he scored 51 league goals in 116 appearances before a £175,000 move to Chelsea in August 1983. He went on to be a prolific marksman at Stamford Bridge scoring 147 goals in 335 appearances and earning international honours with England along the way.

He left Chelsea in 1992 after losing his first-team place and he signed for their Premiership rivals Southampton for £575,000. However, after only 9 League appearances and 2 goals at The Dell, he joined Luton initially on loan and then permanently on a free transfer in February 1993.

The bulk of Dixon's professional career was sandwiched between rejection by Luton as a teenager and joining them in February 1993 at the age of 31. "Luton were marvelous for me. To run out there for the first time and score a few goals for them was great for me” recalled Kerry Dixon in an interview with the Telegraph. "The highlight [of his Luton career] was probably setting up two of Scott Oakes's goals when we beat West Ham 3-2 in the quarter-final to book our place against Chelsea. But the semi-final itself was so disappointing."

He made 88 appearances for the Hatters, scoring 20 goals in the two years that he was at the club. In a separate interview he said of his career, "Apart from playing for England, my best memory in football was playing for Luton, against Chelsea, in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley in 1994. Luton lost 2-0 but the reaction of the Chelsea fans to me was probably the greatest thing that has happened to me. Every single Chelsea fan was singing, 'There's only one Kerry Dixon'. It brought a lump to my throat."

He won eight caps internationally, scoring twice against Germany in a friendly tournament in Mexico in 1985, and scored 231 League goals in his career. He joined Millwall from the Hatters in March 1995 for £5,000 and showed that he had lost none of his appetite for the game, when outscoring both of Millwall's big money summer signings. He then went to Watford for £25,000 in January 1996 (11 appearances, 0 goals) and finished his playing days at Doncaster Rovers, playing 16 games and scoring 3 goals. He became their player/manager, but was sacked in August 1997 and moved onto non-league Boreham Wood as player-coach.

Kerry faced the Hatters in an FA Cup match in November 1998, when two goals from Phil Gray and one from Steve Davis saw Luton to a 3-2 victory. He went on to manage non-league Letchworth Garden City in the South Midlands Football League. He also had a spell working in a pub, after taking on the lease of The Distillery, a pub in his home town of Dunstable.

He then became the assistant manager to Robbie O'Keefe at non-league neighbours Hitchin Town, and Kerry could also be heard as a regular commentator on Talk Sport.

In November 2003, Kerry became the Hitchin Town manager following O'Keefe's departure from Top Field. He was to be assisted by Ian Donnelly (Assistant Manager) and Mark Burke (Coach) in a three-man management team.

Andy Melvin, managing director of Hitchin Town FC, said of the appointment: "We have opted for a three-man team that brings together a wide range of experiences and expertise. Kerry Dixon's vast experience as a player and coach will be a major boost to this club. But as well as Kerry's undoubted qualities, we are also going to rely on the local knowledge and credibility of two popular and well known figures. Ian Donnelly is a great character and well-liked among our supporters. Mark Burke's name has been synonymous with Hitchin Town for almost 20 years. Between these three, we should be able to build a solid platform for the future."

Kerry Dixon said: "I have been at the club since the summer and I know all about its restrictions and the abilities of our playing staff. I will be looking to focus on the strong points of each player and also to improve on the weaker aspects of their game. Right now we have a job to do to get the club away from the lower reaches of the League. I am confident we can bring about a significant improvement."

Dixon added: "I was brought to the club in the summer by Robbie O'Keefe, who was an excellent coach for Hitchin Town FC. It was a pleasure to work with him and I will always be glad that he gave me the chance to come to Hitchin."

However, things with the Canaries didn't work out quite as planned and Kerry took up a role with Dunstable Town.

The Club and The Ground

SOUTHAMPTON lost their Premiership status in 2004-05 after a home defeat to Manchester United on the final day of the season saw them finish bottom of the Premiership after the appointment of Harry Redknapp as manager failed to rescue the Saints. However, with 6 ft 7" England striker Peter Crouch on their books and a tremendous stadium - arguably the best in the Championship - Southampton have a real chance of bouncing back at the first attempt.

The Club moved from The Dell to the new St Mary's Stadium in 2001. In some ways this saw the Club returning to its roots as it was originally founded as 'Southampton St Marys'. To be truthful the stadium looks, quite simply, superb. Although comparisons have been made with the Riverside in Middlesbrough, St Mary's is better as all sides are built in the same style and are of the same height. The stadium is completely enclosed, with all corners being filled with seating. There are also two great looking screens sitting on the roofs at each end. Running around three sides of the stadium, just below the roof, is a transparent perspex strip allows more light and facilitates pitch growth. On the remaining side there is a row of executive boxes. The crowd are set well back from the playing action, as firstly there is a cinder track surrounding the playing surface and secondly the pitch itself must be the largest in the League (although the playing area does not use all of it).

Hatters fans are located in the Northam Stand at one end of the stadium, where normally up to 3,200 fans can sit. For cup games this allocation can be increased to 4,750. The view of the playing action and the facilities within this stand are excellent. Leg room is good, although the width of the seating seemed to be a bit narrower than other grounds. The concourse behind the stand features a Ladbrokes, has TV's which show the game as it is played and a number of eating and drinking outlets. There are plenty of staff and the queues never seemed to get particularly long, which was a pleasant surprise. A range of Hollands Pies (£2) are on offer (to me, apart from the Shire Foods Balti Pie, these are the best range you can get), plus burgers (£2.50) and hot dogs (£2.50). There is also a 'Pie & Pint' outlet, that as the name suggests, only serves beer (£2.50 per pint) and pies. Perhaps they should rename it as 'Heaven'! Please note that smoking is not allowed within the seated areas of the stadium.

The stadium has (contrary to other reports) a great atmosphere and the facilities are first class. I particularly commend the Club for the friendliness of their staff, from the stewards to the catering staff. Considering that away supporters are almost treated with contempt at some other clubs, this was a refreshing change. Coupled with the relaxed attitude of the home supporters and the excellent facilities, they to me makes a visit to St Mary's one of the best days out in the League.

History - Southampton Football Club

IN 2001, the move from the Dell to the new Friends Provident St Mary’s Stadium was something of a spiritual homecoming for Southampton Football Club.

The team that play in red and white today can trace their roots back to the club formed in 1885 by members of St. Mary's Church Young Men's association who played their football on the banks of the Itchen for 13 years before moving on.

Originally called Southampton St. Mary's, the club joined the Southern League in 1894 and won the championship for three years running between 1897-99 and again in 1901, 1903 and 1904.

That success spanned some major changes for the Saints as they moved to a newly built £10,000 stadium called The Dell in 1898.

Although they would spend the next 103 years there, the future was far from certain in those early days and the club had to rent the premises first before they could stump up the cash to buy the stadium outright in the early part of the next century.

Good omens were quick to arrive though and before the century was out the South Coast was given a taste of things to come as they reached the first of their four FA Cup Finals in 1899.

On that day they went down 0-4 to Bury and three years later they would suffer a similar fate at the hands of Sheffield United as they were beaten 1-2 in a replay, but it had given the club a thirst for the big occasion — albeit one that would not be truly satisfied for over seven decades.

After the First World War when many football teams were broken up by the call of national service, Saints joined the newly-formed Football League Division 3 in 1920 which split into South and North sections a year later.

The 1920-21 season ended in triumph with promotion and marked the beginning of a 31-year stay in Division 2.

Saints were briefly forced to switch home matches to their local rivals Portsmouth’s ground at Fratton Park during World War 2 when a bomb landed on The Dell pitch, leaving an 18-foot crater which damaged an underground culvert and flooded the pitch.

Promotion was narrowly missed in 1949 and 1950 by a margin of one point and then goal average as Charlie Wayman rattled in a total of 56 goals. Then relegation in 1953 sent Saints sliding back into Division 3 (South).

It took until 1960 for Saints to regain Second Division status, Derek Reeves plundering 39 of the champions' 106 League goals. In 1963 a crowd of 68,000 at Villa Park saw them lose 1-0 to Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-final.

The dream of Division 1 football at The Dell for the first time was finally realised in 1966 when Ted Bates' team were promoted as runners-up. It was a never-to-be-forgotten achievement.

For the following campaign Ron Davies arrived to score 43 goals in his first season and Saints stayed among the elite for eight years. Twice they qualified for Europe before becoming the first victims of the new three-down relegation system in 1974.

The most memorable day in Southampton Football Club's history came in 1976 when the Second Division side, managed by Lawrie McMenemy, won the FA Cup for the first time with a sensational 1-0 victory at Wembley over odds-on favourites Manchester United.

In 1978 Saints gained promotion back to Division 1 and a year later they were back at Wembley, losing 2-3 to Nottingham Forest in the League Cup Final. Alan Ball was in the Saints team, one of several star names to join the club.

The signing of Kevin Keegan, twice European Footballer of the Year, from Hamburg, was a masterstroke by Lawrie McMenemy, a move which stunned the football world and one that was followed in the 1983-84 season by the most successful campaign in the clubs’ history.

With the great Peter Shilton in goal they finished runners-up to Liverpool in the league and reached the FA Cup semi-finals, losing to Everton in extra-time.

By finishing fifth in 1984-85, Saints qualified for European football for the fourth time in five seasons and the following year reached the FA Cup semi-finals again, only to go out to Liverpool.

Lawrie McMenemy then left in the close season to be replaced by former Saints and Hatters player Chris Nicholl.

In 1986-87 Saints were again stopped one step short of Wembley with Liverpool again their tormentors, beating them over two legs in the Littlewoods Cup semi-final.

During the 1988-89 season, Southampton created history by becoming the first club to include three brothers - Danny, Rodney and Raymond Wallace - in a Division 1 match.

The following year Saints emerged as one of the country's most entertaining teams as second top scorers in Division One with 71 strikes in their goals for column. Matthew Le Tissier, 24-goal leading scorer, was named PFA Young Player of the Year with strike partner Rodney Wallace in second place.

In 1990-91, Le Tissier was again top scorer with 23 goals. Alan Shearer proved what an exciting prospect he was by captaining the England Under-21 team and the following season a change in management saw former Reading manager, Ian Branfoot take the helm.

Saints reached the Zenith Data Systems Cup Final at Wembley, going down 2-3 to Nottingham Forest in extra-time after an epic battle. Shearer was Saints' top scorer with 21 goals and was capped by England.

On the eve of the 1992-93 season an English record transfer fee of £3 million saw Blackburn Rovers prise Shearer away from the south coast and Saints were amongst the teams in the newly formed Premier League.

Tim Flowers followed his former team-mate to Lancashire mid-way through the 1993-94 season, with Blackburn signing another record breaking cheque for £2 million, the largest sum ever paid for a goalkeeper in the world at that time.

After Branfoot was sacked in January 1994 he was replaced by the fans' dream partnership of ex-club captain Alan Ball and Lawrie McMenemy who rejoined the club as Director of Football.

Against all the odds they steered Saints to final-day survival.

The 1994-95 season saw Saints finish a highly creditable 10th with 30-goal top scorer, Matthew Le Tissier, being named club Player of the Year.

Former youth and Reserve coach Dave Merrington took over as manager in July 1995 when Alan Ball left the club for Manchester City and Saints scraped through another final day survival battle with 0-0 draw at home to Wimbledon.

Ironically Saints stayed up at the expense of Manchester City who bizarrely played for time in their game against Liverpool under the impression that their 2-2 draw was enough to keep them up!

1996-97 saw the arrival of Scotland hero Graeme Souness as manager.

Souness brought in several new players including current centre-back Claus Lundekvam and despite masterminding a 6-3 annihilation of Manchester United, for the third time in four years Saints were not safe until the final day when they stayed up despite a 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa.

Souness and McMenemy resigned soon afterwards and were replaced by Dave Jones who had just led Stockport to promotion from Division 2.

He took Saints to 12th in his first season but the 1998-99 campaign saw the Saints brush perilously close to the drop as they took just one point from their first eight games.

A storming second half of the season saw them stage a magnificent recovery and the "Great Escape" was completed with three consecutive victories in their final three matches to stay up at Charlton's expense.

Jones continued to build and his side were comfortably 13th when he found himself facing totally unfounded child abuse charges. He was given paid leave of absence to prepare his successful defence and Glenn Hoddle was recruited in January 2000.

He steered Saints to safety but stayed little more than a year, leaving in March 2001 for his spiritual home to take over the vacant manager's position at Tottenham Hotspur.

First team coach Stuart Gray stepped up in a caretaker capacity for the final few games of the season including the memorable final league game at The Dell where Saints triumphed 3-2 over Arsenal thanks to Matthew Le Tissier's magical last minute winner

Gray was confirmed as the new man at the helm in the summer of 2001 as the finishing touches were added to the club's superb new 32,000 capacity Friends Provident St Mary's Stadium, built at a cost of around £32m.

His tenure was brief however. A poor start to the new season brought just two wins from the club's first eight Premiership games, to leave Southampton second from bottom of the table.

Chairman Rupert Lowe acted swiftly dismissing Gray and his assistant Mick Wadsworth in October 2001 and bringing in former Coventry manager Gordon Strachan to revive the team’s fortunes and he promptly led the side to 11th place. The fourth time in five years that saints had been safe well before the end of the season.

In his second season in charge the wee Scot went on to surpass all expectations as he guided the team to a record breaking 8th place in the Premier League with a final day victory over Manchester City and the FA Cup Final.

Although the big day at Cardiff was ultimately a disappointment with Arsenal winning 1-0 in a hard fought game, the day will be fondly remembered for the phenomenal support of the fans that out-sang their counter-parts even as the Gunners were walking up to collect their trophy.

With Arsenal having already qualified for the Champions League though, Saints runners-up spot was good enough to earn them a place in the UEFA Cup in 2003-04 season. A tricky first round tie against Steaua Bucharest meant their European tour was a brief one however and a couple of months later Saints' season looked even more shaky when Gordon Strachan announced his decision to leave the club at the end of the season to spend time with his family.

Ultimately his departure came even sooner when a mutual decision was made between Strachan and the board to part company in February 2004. Steve Wigley stepped into his shoes in a caretaker role to steady the ship and saw the team go unbeaten during his two games in charge.

Eventually a successor was found in the shape of former Plymouth boss Paul Sturrock who guided the team to a respectable finish of 12th in his first season in charge but at the start of the 2004-05 season he parted company with the club after just two games.

Wigley again returned to the hot-seat, but this time on a permenant basis as Rupert Lowe showed his faith in Saints' Former Director of Youth and reserve team manager.

It was another brief appointment however as Wigley was also unable to transform the team's fortunes, notching just one win against Portsmouth in 14 Premiership matches in charge. Saints then pulled off a massive managerial coup as they snapped up former Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp after he had left their bitter rivals only weeks earlier, but he was unable to save Southampton from being relegated from the Premiership as a last day home defeat to Manchester United saw the Saints finish the 2004-05 season bottom of the Premiership and facing life in the Football League.

After a highly disappointing 2005-06 campaign, that saw the Saints finish in the bottom half of the Championship, Redknapp was soon causing controversy as he left St Mary's to return to former club Portsmouth and George Burley, recently departing from Hearts, took the reigns. Burley will be looking to guide the Saints back to the Premiership during the 2006-07 season.
