How are you getting to the Cup Final?

[nw42]

Going on the train, 6.41 from Stockport, as for coming back, hopefully the last one back after we win.

Bit gutted, we have an unofficial supporters club running from the Astley in Staybridge.

There’s up to 33 of us who go to the League games but out of our lot a couple are driving, quite a lot not going and three are doing an overnighter.

Leaves just 8 of us including a child and a Senior, only vehicle we can get is an 8 seater priced at £950 with Car Park so nearly £120 each which is too much for the child and his Granddad plus the Senior.

We’ve also tried self drive but would have to collect a vehicle on Friday and return Tuesday so that would be about £800 plus fuel and car park, however there’s non available now.

Out of the 7 adults only one has a saloon car, three of us have 2 seaters (old age crisis), one has a van and one doesn’t drive.

So it looks like we’re fucked and won’t be going.

Always spaces on coaches if you can travel a short distance ...such as Royton SC for one who I've travelled with occasionally but I'm sure there'll be something closer from S/bridge or Ducky.

Is that the G&D with a bowling green ? Used to have one of the best teams in the country when I played 35 years ago [emoji15]

It did have one IO. Sadly its long gone and they used to have a half decent team did the Dragon. In fact my ex next door neighbour was Captain for many a year.

Just chose it randomly….hopefully easy to get about

It's a good spot. The services are good, with a Spoons for breakfast, dinner, drinks.

A few minutes drive to Gerrards Cross, where you can get the train straight into Wembley. Takes about 15 minutes but you can be waiting for a while at Wembley after the game to get a train back and you need to make sure you're in the right queue.

We stayed there for the semi and got an Uber to Wembley and back - approx £38 - a couple of hours before and after the match.
The IBIS is in the services.

Does anyone wear club colours on the train…what’s it like if so coz I want to for the final this year but also fancy getting there in one piece…

 

[bluestevei]

Who with, when I priced LNER back on Sunday it was almost £190 return

if you go from doncaster 10-29 gets in 12 23 and back at 22-00 and back at 23-30 its now at £80
its on trainline
or you could go at 8-45 and gets to london at 11-35 still same price, but you need to hurry to book

I paid £25 to park on a drive about 10 minutes' walk away. I've done the park-and-ride from the tube before now, and the queues at the stations to get away can't be any worse than the traffic near the stadium. Also don't want to be in the queue with a bunch of rags again.

 

[OB1]

The usual way. It’s less than an hour to drive if traffic isn’t bad, so it will be more than an hour…

Got an arrangement to park on someone’s drive not far from the stadium - think I’m their best customer. I also park there for stadium gigs.

Early train from Piccadilly on the Saturday morning. Back on the train sometime Sunday.

On a wing and a prayer!

Has anybody booked the travel club coach from Radcliffe and if you have what time does it leave?

I'm not using it this time but seeing as it is the same ko time I would think the arrangements will be similar to last year. From memory it set off around 7:15am, I can't find the email they sent to confirm that though. It got to Wembley around 1.30pm - the last 90mins in traffic from the end of the M1. Got delayed coming back at the Wembley Car Park so not back in Radcliffe till gone midnight.

Cheers mate.. it's a pain in the arse that they going from there or East Didsbury as the ground can't be used..makes it a very long day

Why not, London's a big place, may as well have a mooch about. More concerned about getting back really, have booked a return but it's going to be chaos at Euston after 7pm.
