TRAVELLING TO SNOWS STADIUM
Car
Note: The suggested route involves the Dartford Crossing. You must pay the Dartford Crossing charge by midnight the day after you cross. You will get a fine if you’re late or do not pay. Details can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/pay-dartford-crossing-charge
The Sat Nav postcode for The Snows Stadium is SO40 2RW.
From Ipswich take the A12. Join the M25 clockwise (M20/M23/Dartford Crossing) to junction 12 where you join the M3 towards Basingstoke / Southampton. At junction 13, use the left 2 lanes to exit towards Southampton Docks/Bournemouth. Merge onto the M27.
AFC Totton provide the following directions from the M27: Leave the M27 at Junction 2, signposted Salisbury A36 and Fawley A326. Stay in the left-hand lane until you reach the traffic lights at the top of the roundabout. At the roundabout, take the first exit and follow the A326. In approximately 100 metres, take the next exit marked Totton (Town Centre), Ower and Calmore Industrial Estate. At the T junction, give way and turn left onto Salisbury Road. Follow this road for approximately a mile and the entrance to Snows Stadium will be on your left-hand side.
An alternative route is to join the A3 at junction 10 of the M25 heading towards Portsmouth. Join the M27 to the A326 and follow the instructions as above.Google maps suggests a journey time of three to three-and-a-half hours depending on traffic conditions. We generally recommend allowing at least an hour beyond the AA / Google / Sat Nav suggested journey time.
Note: it is also possible to take the M25 anticlockwise which will avoid the Dartford Crossing Toll. The journey time is slightly longer, by about 20 minutes.
Minibus
The Ipswich Town FC Women Supporters Group have organised a minibus for this game. If you are booked on this, please note that the minibus is leaving Planet Blue at 08:45. Please make sure you are at Planet Blue in plenty of time. If you have a space booked on the minibus the cost is £25 payable on the day by cash.
