NEWCASTLE AWAY TRAVEL AND BOOZE

Post by bubbs1987 »

Hey Gooners,

Me and my mate are travelling upto Newcastle on the 5th Feb for the match, Is there anyone else going? If so how is everyone else getting there?
I have been looking at train tickets and flights but it's so expensive (from London).

If any of you have any travel advice or know of any mini buses etc etc that may be heading up there, please let me know.

Cheers,

Hannah

Oooohh, a lass :barscarf:
She even puts a x at the end of her message and everything, just like a facebook update! I likes. Plus, I'm in there because I already have "Hannah" tattooed on me arm following a rather unsuccessful relationship i had in uni about 6 years back, I'll just pretend i meant this Hannah, she'll not think its tacky at all, result
If you're desperate for it to be cheap and you dont much care about the bad departure times, check the megabus out- about £10 each way most of the time but you might end up leaving london at 3am or something or getting into newcastle at 6am etc. Not the best, but its a cheap alternative if required

a very daft idiot who was very drunk (nice of the tattooist to go ahead and do it anyway) and in his drunken haze stupidly thought that he loved his lass. We didnt end very well, but I cant really get anything over it- I thought i could just get a sunderland badge or a st georges cross, but the tattoo i got was in black ink (with nice joined up writing, i thought it looked classy at the time :oops: ) and apparently if you tattoo over it, the black ink will show through, which has rather fucked my plan. I have decided it would sting a bit too much getting it lazered off, and i dont want to get a random cover up tattoo (it'd sting anarl), so i'm pretty much stuck with it. When i got me next lass i just pretended Hannah was the name of me mum, but when she met me mum she realised that i was lying, which didnt go down well

I booked trains through eastcoast.co.uk about a month back for just over £50. I thought then that was a bit pricey, I dread to think what they're charging now :worried:

I also looked at megabus. Was £8 each way but the times were a bit offkey.

Early morning, too early really :lol: 6.30 or something :shock: They wanted double the price to go later in the day! Robbing bastards.
