I'm off to kip, early rise tomorrow, I've heard there's some Blades to blunt. Have a safe journey there & back as well as enjoying the bit in the middle. Meeting at least one of you tomorrow, hope it turns out to be a few more. Got a fiver on City 5-0 at 80s. I'm confident. Everywhere we go everyone will know - We're Hull City.
I've got a 10:15 train from East Didsbury to catch. But I'm still on my Saturday night whisky binge. I should really stop now although I'm not quite up to Brady's Bunch's 6am LSD levels yet. Guess I'll just have to be a tad hungover on the train and at Wembley. I am travelling First Class however.
Safe journey to my fellow North West Tigers Was first class on offer or something or you just splashing the cash for a special occasion? The prices from Preston to London on Virgin are beyond belief so i got the train back to Hull, seen the family and will be using Tiger Travel! See you down there
No joke - the journey from Manchester Piccadilly to North Wembley was priced at £43 standard class, or £39 First Class!! The Return journey was £37 standard class or £39 First Class. So overall it's £2 cheaper to travel both ways First Class than Standard. Completely ridiculous. I also compared prices from Leeds and Hull to London. Leeds was about £90. And from Hull it was nearly £200. Any wonder why everyone hates public transport?
Cheers Ben; I'll be checking these threads to try and find a few characters! £120 return in the cattle truck! Worth every penny. UTT.
Wigan getting so close and losing at the death has disappointed me somewhat, tomorrow doesn't seem so special now. But I know first thing when I wake up will be "going to wemberlee!" and I'll be back to randomly letting out little bits of dribble with excitement. Just washing up my flask and ironing my tiger onesie.
Parked the car on Spring Bank West this morning. Lift arranged for 7am. What coaches are people on?. 30 here.
You've done well to get yourself on 30 coaches. Are you being discombobulated (what a word!) and going on them all at once, or hitch hiking and swapping between 30 different coaches?
Thats really good, first class is often cheaper than standard. But no joke - TWO ADULTS return from Preston to London Euston on Virgin Trains was £664 STANDARD. I don't understand why the trains are so expensive down to London from Preston, i always use National Express and Megabus when i need to get down to London
Tiger travel for me too. Not particularly looking forward to the journey but being at the game is all that matters. My old man booked it and can't remember whar coach he said. Deffo in the 50s. 54 I think.
Aye, proper knackered but a coffee and a shower zing zing Bright sunshine 17c forecast down there today!
Just sat waiting for lift to coach off junior tigers mum. Nervous because iv not been more then 35 miles since 2007 without Mac nurse or Female carer. I ain't missing this visit to Wembley though. Just look for the old git in docs. I might have to crawl part of way to seat if coach parks a bit far from entrance though Charlie1 might give me a piggy back Elated about the game and going to Wembley. Have a great day everyone win or lose. The important thing is you will be there !! COME ON CITY
