City fans will have their own designated 'away pub' available for use ahead of Saturday's trip to Southampton.

An agreement between Hampshire Police and a local licensee has led to the following public house in Southampton City Centre being designated an official 'away pub'.

The Square Balloon
127, Above Bar Street,
Southampton
SO14 7FH

The premises is located close to Southampton railway station and within easy walking distance of St Mary's Stadium. The pub will be open from 11am on Saturday (November 8th) for City supporters.

Door supervisors will be on duty and will check match tickets on entry. Strictly over-18s only, no food available on the premises. The pub will close at kick-off time (5.20pm) and will not be showing the match on TV.

Supporters should be aware that door supervisors will be on duty at all major City Centre public houses and City supporters will be directed to The Square Balloon.
