Where are these people who aren't going now then?

Where are they every year we are not in the premier league.

They’ve gotta think big. Imagine a monorail circling the City from West Quay/Bargate quarter to the train station to the cruise terminals to St. Mary’s and a new waterside leisure hub. Massive increase in tourism attraction. Job creation, especially with new restaurants/hotel/monkey-chicken petting zoo (lol). Seriously, this is the level of ambition I’d like to see SCC/Dragan etc aiming for.

Alan Whitehead, ex Southampton Council leader and MP proposed a monorail around the centre of Southampton around 50 years ago. Shame few others shared his imagination and ambition for the city.

Apparently council faction in-fighting got in the way sadly. It would put Southampton back on the map way ahead of all the other South coast cities, but it’ll not happen in my lifetime unfortunately.

Honestly didn't realise there was any real estate around St Mary's. I must have a word with my realtor.

Get the Hythe Ferry running again too - could stop in that redeveloped area on match days too ...
