It is not that bad

Compare to a train

1. Cheaper
2. Guaranteed a seat
3. Music
4. Good company who you know as most come as a group
5. Beer allowed
6. Pub stop
7. Door to door, on a train to Wembley you then have to get a tube
8. Do not get cancelled at the drop of a hat
9. Pit stops at services
10. Potential to win fare back on a name card

But I understand also that a lot of older people cannot cope, it happens.

...but Jacko's singing wipes all those positives out.

By beating Huddersfield, Spurs, Luton, Newcastle and Chelsea
(Haven’t read all the pages so apologies if anybody is as boring as me but not as slow)

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.

Don’t know how practical this is, but pickup Manchester airport Saturday morning 8am, return Sunday afternoon for a decent 4 seater is 150 quid plus 50 quid petrol is 200 quid for FOUR, plus the cost/hassle of getting to/from Manchester Airport ?

That would be for a two day rental, so return any time Sunday or first thing Monday.

I only checked Hertz, there may be other options.

I find out for you, but the lad booked tickets when the date and time was on fa web page

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’ll check that thanks, it’s really a 7/8 seater we’re after.

I usually stay there but going down on our OSC Branch bus, as I did for the semifinal.
