There is no way I'm going to drive down there.

Don't fancy a 6 hour journey back, 2 of which will be spent queueing in a car park!

What about driving to Leeds and going down the East Coast line? Its only about 40 mins away.

Our Citeh mates are talking about doing the weekend (there might be a couple of United lads too), so between us we'll probably be able to hire a minibus. I know a few people in the hotels down the M1 and M4, so we'll probably stay out of London and train it in on the day.

Are we looking more likely for saturday or sunday now Citeh are out of Europe?

My gut feeling is we'll get the Sunday now.

The same day Arsenal host Liverpool and the London Marathon is on. Which is nice.

You might fcuk off the minibus when you see the price

Weekend hire is ridiculous

Especially if United get early Saturday which would mean picking up the van friday

Assuming you selfish bastard season ticket holders leave some tickets available for us disloyal part time scumbags, I'm going to have to drive down. No other choice really. Espesh if it's a lunchtime kick off on the Sunday.

Wigan £65 return is what I'm going for.

From WNW to Euston?

Virgin website is giving me prices still in the 100's. I must be doing something wrong.
