    Probably too that. Drop off early Saturday. Straight on train back on the night, get backs from car, stumble to room and kip.

    @Prehab26 . You can park at waitrose near train station from 8am Saturday until 3pm Sunday for £20. Check your parking space app. Loads of places to park at a reasonable cost.

    Planning ringing the hotel when I'm half hour out and asking if they have spaces but it's only a small car park. If not then I'll park in one of the station ones for £15 for the weekend.

    The train station long stay car park is behind the Waitrose car park, same exit off the roundabout just next turn along. has a footbridge straight to platform. It does the £15 weekend ticket or £8 a day.
    avoid the main station car park (it’s always full) or the shopping multi-stories (absolute rip off)

    Probably about 10 min walk - straight through the city centre. There’s a bridge that goes over from the station to the shopping centre and then you’re pretty much there once you’re out the other side. Not the best for pubs pboro mind!

    Anyone still looking for tickets, keep your ear to the ground so to speak, if you know anyone at the club.

    Seriously, that's good advice mate ... I'm certain there are some tickets still in the system.

    It's Thursday and not all 'corporate people' can just drop everything and go to London for the weekend.
