Me? Wind up? With my reputation?

Seriously, I thought direct services were from Glasgow. I looked at the TPE for our first game and got a return price of £220. They can stuff that.
 
I travel to Edinburgh from Preston quite a lot I normally get it for about £30-40 return Preston to Manchester is really cheap I booked my ticket for the Bournemouth game is was £8 return
 
Yeah I drive to every game with the three kids from Edinburgh. We gave up on the trains a few years ago as it just wasn’t worth the hassle.

We did fly down for a lot of games in the past but no operator has got the Edinburgh - Manchester route to work for long.

It doesn’t help that the tv companies get later and later with the kick off times. Getting back after a 4pm game Sundays on the train is a right pain too.

We can leave the house at 9 and be home for 10 on an increasingly rare 3pm kick off in the car.

We normally stay over at a Premier Inn. That’s getting silly expensive though. I don’t fancy there and back same day when the weather gets bad though. How do you find it?
 
To be honest I’ve been doing it for every home game since 1995 (with a four year gap just after the takeover when we lived abroad - ironically then the journey from Helsinki was usually cheaper and sometimes quicker than Edinburgh) so it’s just what I do.

There were times in the late 90s when doing that on my own was a bit bleak - but having the kids with me now makes things a lot more entertaining. Or at least them arguing keeps me awake.

I don’t mind the drive, save for the occasional caravan on the A702. We’re actually doing there and back on Friday for the cricket.

That’s remarkable. We have had season tickets the last seven years and try and do as many as we can. I would love for there to be a decent hotel with parking within the Etihad campus. Maybe the Arena will attract one. We are just south of Edinburgh so sounds like we do the same route as you. Tebay is a welcome break both ways.
