BranfootsLoveChild Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Hey fellow Saints. Am driving down on Fri, from Basingstoke. Normally get the train but the last one back is 11pm.....which I could just make if we don't have extra time/pens 🤣. Is Westquay my best parking option? Cheers everyone. COYR!!!

Mr X Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 This game sort of has a sense of inevitably about it, how many times this season have we been excited about where we could finish only to completely fall apart in games we should have won! I'm not convinced we can get the required urgency and the right winning mentality back in the team we did alright in the sense that we didn't concede at brom with a weakened team in the first leg but we still looked very shaky at times. Hopefully saints prove me wrong and the team delivers on its potential at last, we should have enough about us if we play to our full potential to get a win. I guess we can't keep swapping managers so even if we get hammered we have to stick with Martin and hope his style eventually comes good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are the better side, the game is massive and we should be right up for it. None of this passive ‘autos are gone’ going through the motions. As you say, play to our potential and the result will be a good one. Is it 1 defeat in our last 11 against WBA? Russ hasn’t lost against them or Corberan as a manager. We finished 12 points above them and did the league double over them. Expectation is justified, hope we thrive under the pressure for a change. Their away form ranks them as 14th in the league. If we score first I think we will force them to open up and we can take advantage, need to start fast. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAlehouseBrawlers Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 34 minutes ago, goodymatt said: I parked at College Street car park for the Watford game and that worked well. Think that's just a couple of quid after 6pm so probably best, particularly if coming in down the Avenue. Alternative is the West Quay Retail Park, open air car park near Furniture Village, Decathlon, etc., free parking after 8pm so depending on what time you're arriving to how much to pay (after 7pm £1.00 for one hour, after 6pm £1.50 two hours). But this would probably only be better if you were driving out to pick up the M271. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I think the difference between us and West Brom is that I feel we have another couple of gears where we could improve our game; whereas West Brom - I feel like I haven’t seen it and they won’t. We should feel confident. Home game, Friday night, full house, red and white everywhere AND the fact we’ve only conceded once against them in three games this season and I’m pretty sure that was a largely scrappy goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re coming down via the M3 you might be better placed to park to the north of the stadium as seen on a map so maybe look at the Royal South Hants hospital, big open air car park and well placed to get back on The Avenue.

I am having to drive to this one as I live in the middle of nowhere (East Sussex). When I drive I always park on Horseshoe Bridge. It's a fair walk but I find parking any more centrally I get trapped in traffic for ages afterwards. I get out onto Thomas Lewis Way very quickly. It's also free!

NewYorkSaint Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 It's important to remember that so much of football is a crapshoot. Any game can turn on whether the ball hits the inside of the post and goes in or the outside and is a soon-forgotten goal-kick. Or on whether a block is effective or creates the deflection that is unsaveable. So there can be no guarantees. BUT... we're definitely the better side. And I think there should be a surge of energy and conviction on Friday. I think we'll win 3-1. I just really hope their goal is a consolation, and not an opener. Not sure my nerves can take it. It will be utterly heartbreaking if we the gods are against us. But more likely, we're headed to Wembley, and continue what has been -- when all's said and done -- an exhilarating season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east-stand-nic Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Sorry to say that I really do think we are going to lose this. On penalties. I am about 50-50 on my predictions so I seriously hope I have misjudged us this time as we need to get to the final where it is anyone's game. I just see signs that playing around at the back is getting worse again and almost gave WBA two goals at least last Sunday and I just don't think we will get away with it for another 90 minutes. I can see it being a high scoring draw after AET and then we duff up the penalties under pressure. Let us see if if my gut is right or if I am just over thinking and over worrying. I will be the first to denounce myself and such like if we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
