Bradford Beer Travel & Stuff

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

How many miles is it that your actually driving? Are you planning on just going straight to the ground when you get there or are you looking to go to the wetherspoons pub in the city centre and then walk to the ground?

We are driving 135 miles from Warwickshire and it telling us it will take about 3 1/5 hours with traffic......finish work at 1pm so not sure when to leave!!!

0-2 wow! Dec 11th gets more important by the day, for you that is, it's only a night out for us. :D Will AW field his top 11 (whatever that is) or his half decent 11? The latter should still see you through easily enough but, feck me, reading this board, you are going to go beserk if things go wonky at Valley Parade. :shock:

If you want to see some gorgeous scenery and avoid all the shit around Leeds, take the A1 to J45 just below Wetherby and take the A659 towards Otley, After about 10 miles in Pool take the Bradford road (A658) past the airport, wave to my mother in law and the road brings you in the north side of Bradford where the ground is. Its a long way round but will probably be about the same time as you don't hit traffic and keep moving.

Incidentally if you want some grub before heading into Bradford, the White Hart in Pool does good food.
Honestly thought you were gonna finish that with "just drop into my mother-in-law's place"! :lol: :wink:
As she's nearly 89 I think that might be a bit of an imposition! She'd be very generous with the drinks though! 8) 8)

The Oirish side of the family, huh? :D :wink:
No. I married an english rose, but the in laws like a drink. First time I met them, we went out to the pub before dinner, got back for my future m-in-law to say "can't smell anything cooking". She'd forgotten to turn the oven on. By the time we sat down to dinner 2 hours later we were all pissed. Great way to break the ice! :lol: :lol:

I really hope is doesnt snow on Tuesday else theres no way we will drive up there!!

We are going to park in the NCP car park next to the Hilton Hotel and then drink at 'The Turls Green' wetherspoons put which is a few minutes walk away. Then later on will walk from there to the ground which will take about 15-20 minutes.

Where is everyone else going before the game?
As there are alot of us it would be great to get a load of us together!!!

They've just been kicked out of the FA Cup for fielding an ineligible player without written permission.

Apparently they sent a carrier pigeon requesting permission but it failed to arrive in time. Fookin' Northerners.
