Free coach travel to Man City

[Royal Lady]

See you up there m8 - upper or lower tier?

[Ferris]

Lower, you? Are you going for a pre-match drink?

We should do this by PM really! We're upper - parking in velodrome, dunno if we'll go anywhere for drink first, I'll text. x

[Ferris]

Yeah, good point.

[Royal Lady]

I'll text on Sunday if we find somewhere for drink - or you can text me if you do.

[Svlad Cjelli]

There's absolutely nowhere to drink near the gound.

My plan is pre-match drinks in the City centre then bus to the ground.

I meant as we're driving on way to ground - I've been to Eastlands before, I know there's nowhere around there.

There's a pub on Bradford road that I went to last time, tbh it was pretty shitty and a reasonable walk to the ground, but there's not much else around.

What time is everyone not on the coaches leaving then?

12oclock from Wallingford for me, buzzing!

You going Thames Travel?

[Svlad Cjelli]

Will start driving at about 11 to allow drinking time before the game.

Am also planning to find a bridge over the M6 where I can wave cans of beer at all the enforced teetotallers on the coaches.

Bradford Arms?

[PieEater]

Bradford Inn I think, and not a Burb in sight.

I'm going to be there all weekend so will be right royally pissed by the time those coaches roll up at three... Bradford arms then?

[The Real Sandhurst Royal]

44 coaches that should hold the M40, M42 and M6 traffic up for a while.

[Gav]

Still not received my bus tickets. Grrr.

[No Fixed Abode]

Imagine getting a bus up there with all the mongtards!

I'd much rather drive and stop off at random boozers on some of the A Roads up there.

[moo]

Free bus or driving? Where's best to par pre game if u wanna get smashed? Will they serve booze in the away end??

[PieEater]

Sounds like RFC did a great job organising the coaches.

Certainly looked like they did. Hopefully that performance will rub off on ticketing arrangements next time around!

Damn well did! I reckon they added 10 minutes to our car journey on the way back as everyone was forced over into the outside lane in an attempt to get past them!
