How are you getting to the Cup Final?

[Stephen230]

Is there any way of getting there on the Friday which doesn’t involve normal trains and driving

There was a guy in the paper a few years ago who celebrated getting his OAP bus pass by doing something like Lands End - John O’ Groats by public bus.

Think it took him about two months.

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.

One option for you is the big green coach company, leaving and arriving back in Ashton,£48 each.We used last year, nice coach with toilet and they didn't stop anyone drinking either.

Take extra food and drink for the journey home.. That’s just for getting out of the pink car park.

You're right about being coach fit. We bump into you guys on a regular basis at the Services on the way back from home games. Coach travel to matches has become a way of life but I suppose it would come as a shock to the uninitiated. For me the only real difference for the Final is that I have get up earlier :-)

Yer right Bill have a safe journey

Train. Half 7 from piccadilly on the Saturday, back on the Monday. Just hope we're not near any arseholes but we're hoping most of them will be on the coaches *crosses fingers*

There's an episode of Auf Wiedersehn Pet where Barry is explaining to the lads he used to do tap dancing. A bemused Oz says "Why??" Barry replies "What do you mean Why?" Exasperated, Oz raising his voice repeated, "Well why why???" Over and over. That's what I feel reading about this pensioner.....why???? Lol!

Hate that part, 3 hours after the game still only one street away.
