You need to leave on the final whistle and be 1 of the first in the tube cue - easy enough to get back to kings cross / euston
However, No train back to manc!!
Theres a 1025pm to sheffield that we have got several times - no good if your in manc though!!

Or if there's extra time and penalties.

What ever happened to the days of the football special ?
Years ago we would just go down on the train and get herded back to the station to get the train back home. Whilst this would not suit most people for a weekend KO - it would be perfect for mid week. Leave Manchester at 4:45pm arrive at Euston circa 7pm - 1 hour should be just enough time to get to the stadium. Train leaves when we are ready (after extra time).
Anyone remeber the trip to West Ham last away of the season when we ot relegated. I found the ticket for the football special in an old box of city stuff the other day.
Someone should contact the club to see if it could be arranged.

Yes extra time and penalties messes things up.
Also, I'm sure *some* underground stations near to the stadium close on matchdays because they are simply not big enough to cope with the numbers and you have to go down long winding stairs that were deemed not safe. Not 100% on that but definately happened when they first moved there.....

Which is the best tube station to go to after the game Finsbury Park or Highbury & Islington? Aiming to get the 10.25 back to sheff but unsure if i'll have enough time.
