Disagree. TV is solely to blame as they’re the people with the money.

It’s the price we pay for living in a country run by spivs and nobs entirely for the benefit of spivs and nobs!!

Munich to Stuttgart is a longer distance than Manchester to London, but it’ll do as a comparator. Here are the trains back from Munich on the 26th/27th January.

I'm going with a mate on a coach. £30. The 1st time on a coach since traveling on Finglands coaches on my away days in the 70's & 80s and often coming back in the middle of winter with no windows. Going to be rather nostalgic. Can't wait. Lets have it

Happy days mate. Coming back from derby over the tops mid winter late 70s with all the windows in. Jesus it was cold❄️

Last time I went on a coach was to London midweek. Chelsea, early 90s.

Left Chorlton St. at 2pm. At 7.30 we were on the outskirts of London and the driver asked where abouts in London we were going and does anyone know the best way?

2-0 when we got there. Finished 4-0 I think.

Won’t be making that mistake again. In fact even the thought of travelling virtually the length of England on a Friday early evening by coach, is making me come out in a hot sweat.

1 - 4 Ron Futcher Hat trick? 1978 I think. I was there, very intimidating!

2pm seems a bit late. I get it's 6 hours but coaches are notoriously slow. Friday travel is always bad and going to hit Birmingham in rush hour and met by circa 6000 villa heading to chelsea then hitting the usual gridlock as you enter London.

Won't be going via coach personally but think I'd be tempted to book megabus or national express and leave earlier if I was.

Agreed. That’s very risky imo

I do remember that game well but it was well before the one I went on the coach to. We got hammered. Not sure if it was 4-0. Definitely 2-0 when we got there though.

1978 Battle of Elland Road. FA Cup. Had to fight all the way from the coach park and back again. The young snowflakes of today have no fkg idea.

I was on the first coach in.

Got there about 3 hours before kick off, and there was already around 150 Leeds waiting for us!

Definitely survival mode!

We got the train. Escort picked us up at the station and marched us straight to the ground. They came at us from the motorway embankment, behind us, in front, completely surrounded us. It was like Custers last stand. Police horses riding shotgun in a circle while bricks and bottles rained down on us.

Survival mode couldn't be more accurate mate.
 
I hate the way the broadcasters have the say on schedules, they should at least fund a couple of extra trains back to Manchester, bastards!
