Me too, I know it's a fair way out but it was £9 return and I get there about half 1 and only leave about 7:00 so got loads of time.

You can get the tram to Hillsborough for a couple of quid though from the station, not at all difficult to get to

We have decided to go on the coach, does anybody know if there is somewhere I will be able to leave my car up at the Reebok, do they let you park on the carpark in front of De Vere's?
