Same mate, terrific heading down there, few beers, great singing but coming back, even when we win its just totally different, wish I was one of them that could snooze all the way home, wake up and see the sign for our junction lol.I always enjoy the coach to Wembley having a drink and a bit of a sing. The way back is always horrible. Everyone all sung out by the time you get out of the car park, then takes forever getting home seems like you have been on it a week by the time you get to Manchester. And this is when we have won.
Blooming heck Paul you’re not the most optimistic lol. Mind you I think you’re probably right!The train unions still have time to put a great big spanner in a lot of people's plans. They have to give a minimum 14 days notice of strike action so once everybody has bought a ticket they could call a strike for that weekend. As there is a cup final and it's a bank holiday as well I'd say there's a very good chance they will.

Yep.They’re on strike on the 8th May. Looking at the previous dates, there doesn’t ever appear to be two separate lots of action in the same month. Presumably to avoid the staff getting hit twice in the same pay packet.
So I’m a bit more hopeful.
Leinster v Toulouse is the big favourite.Incredible scheduling to have a rugby final same day (and now virtually same time) a few miles away at WHL, I wonder when the finalists for that will be known - could add to transport issues if it's a Northern team/teams...
We were stuck in that car park in our Minibus but our knobhead of a driver was right at the back, all he had to do was reverse backwards but he refused to do so. Then he went the wrong way and we passed the car park another hour later. He then said he’d stop at a service station that was closed, absolute fucking prick, we got back well past 1am.It was dreadful for us too after someone decided to have a medical episode in front of our coach and we got trapped on there for an hour, then deciding to change drivers outside a chinese restaurant in the middle of Cheshire/Staffordshire before finally stopping at a service station 50 miles from home and ten minutes before all the food outlets and shops were about to shut up shop. On the journey down the air conditioning didn’t reach the back of the coach neither.
Still it only held the record for worst coach journey I’d ever had for 7 days.
Is he driving you this year?We were stuck in that car park in our Minibus but our knobhead of a driver was right at the back, all he had to do was reverse backwards but he refused to do so.

He maybe but not on our coach, we’re struggling tbh, we have a 33 seater for most home games but there’s only 8 of us going but transport is proving difficult.Is he driving you this year?
we went on that" big green bus " from ashton bus station.We were stuck in that car park in our Minibus but our knobhead of a driver was right at the back, all he had to do was reverse backwards but he refused to do so.

Very similar, we left Ashton at around 8:30 and missed Gundo’s goal and were on the Pink Car Park, someone was ill on another coach that delayed everyone, absolute nightmare.we went on that" big green bus " from ashton bus station.
never ever again.
the driver stopped just after birmingham when he said he wouldn't be stopping, at about 1 pm too.
We got there late and missed gundogans goal.
we got stuck on that pink car park,we didn't watch the presentation for fear of missing the coach,it was about 7.30pm by the time we got going.
then the new driver stopped at services as soon as we got on the motirway,and stopped again just after birmingham.
it was about 1.30 am we got home.
never again
