Football Specials

Said it on another thread City should be doing this for Spurs away
 
City have done it in the past for CL nights - same night return. “City in The City” from London to Piccadilly. Cost was about 50/60 but there was food and drink to buy, ex players, the league cup was on it, free programmes and express tram. But £10 is brilliant! Couldn’t imagine chartering a train to be cheap but we are partners with Virgin.
 
That's a great price. Though when Chelsea did it for the Liverpool game a lot of the fans were left stranded when the train back to London left without them.
 
i remember being on a special in the late 80's, think it may have been on the way to Birmingham ( Neil Mcnab scored and Brum fans protested against thier board ) .............anyways we had not long been knocked out of the fa cup by Brentford and blow me as our train - many carriages long pulled into Crewe there was Brentford's 2 carriage special pulling in on their way up north. I think the whole of our train must have decamped and descended on theirs like a biblical plague. There were seats coming out of windows, bogroll of all things all over the place - you name it - it was completely gutted and as we pulled away it looked a sorry empty shell heading for the scrappers. I steered clear of specials after that.
