League cup final travel arrangements

8.53 I think so probably the same one?

Yeah same One.

As sponsor maybe Carabao will want an earlier ko to maximize tv viewing in SE Asia?

Oh, right, another 11.30am ko then!

So upto now there is nothing on the Caraboa Cup official site about a kick off time. Apparenty City have tweeted 4.30pm but now retracted that.

Does anyone know what is happening ?

I'm surprised 4.30pm was announced at all as I was expecting them to wait until the outcome of tonight's match. Reason being is that we were provisionally earmarked to play Arsenal at 2.05pm that day in the Premier League and United vs Chelsea was down for the same time so if it was us v Arsenal in the final then that would be at 4.30pm and United v Chelsea would go ahead at 2.05pm. If it was Bristol City v Chelsea in the final then Arsenal v City would be 2.05pm and the final at 4.30pm. However, if it's us v Chelsea in the final then that means both league games would be postponed so it may just be that a City v Chelsea final will kick off in that 2.05pm slot.

Are there coaches running from Etihad?

Just when I thought 4.30 was the K.O. time it now seems it might not be! Best leave travel until it is officially confirmed then.

Which was my thinking until City sent the tweet saying it was 4.30pm so I booked 4 train tickets for the last one back at 9.30. If it does revert to 2pm there will be a lot of hanging about to do, hmmm, I will wait to see what happens before I slag the club off but........ Oh and I also booked one that gets in Euston at 11 thinking there was plenty of time for a pint hmmmmmmmmmmm again.

My thoughts exactly

OK, I just rang the club and they said that the time hasn't been confirmed and won't be until after tonight's match.

Soccer Express are decent, they go from Belle-vue,but if you are on route they may pick you up.

anyone travelling from edin we booked coaches o/n sat and return sun night 10.30 at £43 a head, not the best but flights are just too tight to make if extra time etc
