[Corky]

Is anyone doing the train for this? Looking like a nightmare after the match with both sets of fans trying to cram onto a handful of services both heading towards Manchester/Liverpool

Until a strike is announced next week.

same going as well.most trains need a change for us,so too for liverpool fans I would presume, so both sets of fans are gonna be getting on the same trains , and like you say,leicester is a small train station,both sets of pissed up fans milling around waiting for their trains home..

The official coach looks like a good bet and decently priced.

Got the train booked changing at Derby and Stoke for £35 return. Wembley would have been £90 minimum

If I can get a ticket on Tuesday afternoon,I will be getting one of the coaches from The Etihad.

Yep we are £56 return cheapest we've found so far.

Well, apart from a few from Haaland

 

[bluestevei]

I’m looking forward to going the game and the atmosphere but not hugely bothered about the result because it’s a friendly.

its a friendly if we win it, but if liverpool win it, it be a big cup to win like the fa cup

you could go to sheffield and then leicester, from sheffield to leicester return is 14 pound, return is 8-00pm to get into sheffield at 9-05pm

Save me looking it up mate, what are the train times north after the game. Any post 9.00pm. Might be quieter then.
Usually carnage after the Leicedter game so this will be worse.

Fck me. Spent ages working out best train routes and prices. Felt quite relieved after finally hitting that 'purchase' button. Forgot about possible strike action. And you can just see it happening as well. Take me back to the good old days!

Went everywhere on these tickets, had all the ladies in the office I worked bringing the vouchers in for me. Farthest we went was Plymouth (2-0 up lost 3-2 Tommy Tynan hat trick).

RMT have to give 2 weeks notice for any strike action so that would have to be by the end of next week.

Remember it well! Two lads who I knew only got there at half time (as car broke down) when we were 2-0 up!

I wouldn’t advice trying to get back via Sheffield after 9pm. The last train from Sheffield to Piccadilly is 10.11 pm. And even that is a Trans Penine one, who are hugely unreliable at the moment.

Thanks mate. I change at Derby so just need to get there.
I did get stranded in Leicesrer a couple of seasons back when I got carried away.

 

[There is a Light]

I know we haven’t even had the match yet, but there’s relative excitement for this, simply because it’s not at Wembley. This is the way it should be every year and also for Fa Cup semi finals, would reinvigorate both IMO.

To be honest mate, I fear this is going to be a nightmare season for away fans who go by train. Even without strikes there just seems to be so much cancellations all over the place at the moment.

The way I’m thinking at the moment I reckon I’m going to reduce the number of games I go to and stop over for the ones I do, that are any distance away. Can do without the hassle of having to rely on only one possible train running to get home on the same day.
