Southampton set aside pub for Bristol City travelling fans

Bristol City fans will have their own designated 'away pub' available for use in the hours before Saturday's Sky-televised Coca-Cola Championship game against Southampton at St Marys (5.20pm).

City have reached an agreement with Hampshire Police to use the Square Balloon in Above Bar Street, which is located close to Southampton railway station.

The pub opens at 11am and door supervisors will be on hand to check match tickets on entry. The venue will close at kick-off time and will not be showing the match on TV.
