Where are people drinking? Am thinking The Arrow... would be good to be with all the fans and not just me and my brother!

Quite a walk to the stadium isnt it?

Needing to get back to Didcot by 9, I am pissed off that after ringing a taxi firm to pick me up from the stadium and take me to the station that they tell me they are not allowed at he stadium until 6pm meaning I will have to get the 6:30 train back, as the walk is around 5 miles!!

There's nothing Yeovil can do really. Mine isn't a RG postcode, so good luck picking me out!

Yea it is.

I get into Yeovil Junction at around 1130, and will jump on the shuttle bus to the town center, hopefully getting into the wetherspoons for 12.

I will stay there till about 2, and then get a bus to the ground.

Not a bad little plan that, bobby!

Thinking the Arrow though, that way means we can walk to the stadium about 145ish, and watch the first half of any early kick off!

Pretty much everything is m8...

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Yeovil now aware we're buying in the home ends. They said "wheels are in motion", whatever that means. They'll either let us in, move us, or refuse us entry. Might be better to call before you set off.

Where did you find this out mate?

As long as Reading fans in the home end act sensibly and don't wear colours, the Yeovil Stewards will have no right to refuse them entry

Early KO is either
SKY: Leeds V QPR
BT: Man City V Hull

Neither is a bad watch. How far from Yeovil Junction station and the ground is the Arrow?

I have heard the A303 at Stonehenge has road works with delays.

Yeovil Junction - The Arrow - A tenner in a taxi.
The Arrow - The Ground - 10 - 15 minute wall

I have heard the A303 at Stonehenge has road works with delays.

I drove down to Exeter on Saturday. It took an hour to get past Stonehenge - was bumper to bumper from the Solstice Park. Coming back went on the A303 (stopping at Yeovil for a bit of a reccie) but turned off before SH and went via Devizes. However, next Sat it's the Devizes Carnival and loads of diversions will be in place. If I drive, I'll leave about 10 30am and keep fingers crossed the traffic is not so bad on the 303 or might just drive to Basingstoke and jump on a train there.

I'll never work out why they built SH right next to one of the busiest A roads in the country!

Train from Basingstoke is only £15 I think I paid, definitely best way to get there

Thanks MB... If it is bad again on Saturday it looks like you can come off at Solstice Park and go through the centre of Amesbury and pick up the A303 further down past the Countess Roundabout, this maybe an option?

Going m4 to Bristol, m5 then a39

That's actually what I did. May have saved about ten minutes or so but it was still bumper to bumper when we got back on the 303 at the Countess roundabout. It was basically b to b from the Solstice park right through to the A303/A360 roundabout after SH.

OK MB....Looking at Google Map’s you have an option to do the following should the traffic be bad and backed up to Solstice Park:

Leave at the Solstice Park junction and head north to Burford, and turn westbound onto Larkhill Road across the A345 to The Packway through Larkhill and pick up the (B3086) back to the A360 to rejoin the A303 or you can continue on The Larkway to Shrewton(B3086) and onto (B3083) Winterbourne Stoke to rejoin the A303.
