Going to get to the Coventry match, just looked at the parking, looks like all parking sites within walking distance charge £10 a pop! That seems expensive to me, especially as some are 20 minutes walk away and are locked 1 hour after the final whistle.
The lads usually organise something like taxis mate. I'll find out what the plan is and let you know. Are you coming from Devon on the day.
Sounds good, up from Cornwall the day before (it's just after Devon on the way west ), just traveling from Leicester on the day. It's so easy and inexpensive for fans to get to SAFC with free parking and a free shuttle bus service.
watch out could be a delayed kick off, i look forward to this grudge game. i remember that night nearly 46 years ago. Last time i went in the league cup 5th round replay we got beat 5-0 if i remember.
Love a delayed kick off don’t they…the cheating kernts!! Remember the first season back in the Prem with Reidy when I was down at Selhurst for the final game against Wimbledon when we got beat. Their match against Spurs was delayed. Remember at the time thinking we could get 1000’s down from Sunderland to south London and get our match kicked off on time but them lot couldn’t bring a few hundred to north London from the midlands on time! Listened to the last 15 minutes on the radio when we got back to the car praying for a Spurs goal that never came!
Train from Sunderland is crap, coaches £50 a pop. So driving, will probs find somewhere residential close by
Hi mate, just had this from the lads travelling down, you've met some of them before and one has your ticket. ... they're a really good bunch and would make you welcome. Saves you driving and you can get absolutely slaughtered as I know you like to do "That lad on 606 travelling from Leicester on Saturday, his best bet is to jump on the train from Leicester to Coventry Arena. £9.20 return with a railcard. We're on the 09:50 I think it is from Leicester (I may be wrong with the timings as I've got so many combinations of tickets) change at Nuneaton arrive at Coventry Arena at 10:49. Trains r hourly hence why we're getting the earlier one."
@Smug in Boots Have you any idea where people are drinking before the game? I'm sorted after as will be drinking in Rugby.
Going in by train as it's a short hop, but l know it is trouble around the ground thus moving to Rugby and drinking there afterwards.
