Got the last bus from the station to the ground and arrived just in time for kick off, left the ground at the final whistle and got straight on a bus and was in the pub in the town centre ten mins later.

Don't think it helped that the buses out to the stadium went directly down the new road, whereas coming back they took 3-4 times as long going down the old road. Don't know why they did that - think we must've been lucky getting on a bus coming back.

Local knowledge eh :p

Local knowledge knowing where we were going - pure luck being on one of the first 14 buses. Also lucky discovering the buses didn't go from the same place they drop you off. Shambles. It shouldn't have taken that long for the buses to turn round, they need to take lessons from Southampton who know how to run a bus service.

 

Take it you got back from the pub OK after I left you?

Me I was all fucked up by 2am

Dear God - I'm surprised they're not still going

Yep - got a flaming parking ticket.

Only good thing was that on the M4 within 1 minute and back in Stockport for 8-30.

Garbage day all round.

I parked on Costco's carpark round the corner for free, went inside and had a cheeky hotdog for ??1.50. After the match straight off the car park and on to motorway. Result. Unlike the actual match.

Just tried to pay the bloody thing and the automated system is unable to take payment at this time.

Please phone back later.............................

The park and Ride was OK. We got to the ground and noticed cars dumped on grass verges everywhere - OK if you have 4X4. Turned into a pub car park but they wanted a tenner!. Followed signs for the park and ride (about 2 miles) and paid ??3 return. (Tip no one checked tickets on the return - buy a single in future). Straight out of the ground on the final whistle and we were back at the car and on the motorway at 5.15. St Peters Way at 8.30. NB if we'd known it was ??3 return on the bus for all 5 of us we would have paid the tenner!

and get back at midnight no thanks. i will settle for getting back at half 8 it would of also cost ??25 to go instead of the ??10 in the car.
