Travelling up on my jack jones for this one....any idea of best train for homeward journey or best hotel or b&b? Any ideas appreciated

Hello mate i managed to get a return to kings cross for I think £34 returning on the weds at about half 1 pm and staying in a travel lodge which says its only 1 mile from the ground for £22 , hope it helps

Thinking about using the club coach to get back, anyone been on it from here ?

How shit/good are they ?

Can anyone get on as I am not a red or any other type of member and will be making my way up earlier,will I get away with paying for both journeys but only coming back with them(possibly getting a lift with a friend who's staying over)?

Awful. Should be an absolute last resort. Average speed of about 32mph, full of old people eating scotch eggs & doing knitting.

Yeah I've done so before for Sunderland in the FA Cup, you have to pay full whack though.

[RocastleRock]

Have to say, fair play to all the gooners travelling up to this one.

Best away support. Fact!.

Cheers topgoon you getting the midnight express back or stopping over?

Might be an idea for anyone else to post here if they have spare spaces in the their car for the trip there and back.

Topgoon - the travel club coach can be a mixed bag. I'm fairly sure you will have to pay full whack for both legs of the journey even if you're only using it one way. For this game if you have to be back in London by early morning it will probably be the best way to travel on the return trip.

You do get some characters on the coaches - see Flash's anecdote about the old boy eating boiled eggs the whole time, but you can just get your head down and sleep or read etc which is what I've done on the odd occasion I've taken the coach. On the positive side, I did once win a signed photo of the squad for guessing that day's scores On the negative side that photo included Denilson and Sylvestre

[SWLGooner]

We may have a spare seat in a 9 seater, not sure at the moment though. Might know of one other spare seat in another one going to/from Enfield area.

Nope getting the AFC express which is probably as one paced as Mertesacker. Hopefully not a boiled egg in site. Looking forward to the game even if I'm seriously dreading the bus journey.

[steveroberts]

still have 2 spare spaces in the car for Bradford leaving approx 1 pm and returning that night travelling from Thatcham Berkshire and picking up from Ashford Middx so anyone interested who needs a ride can pm me ideally anyone in these areas or along the M4 trunk between Reading and Heathrow should work out around £20-£25 per person
