Can't get home by train after game so I'll sort out a minibus from Reading and back after match.

 

I'll get the minibus sorted from one of the companies I lease vans off and get one of our courier drivers to drive up there and back.  I reckon about £200-£250 max between whoever fancies it.

 

Leave about 8ish and back after match.  Pick up and drop at Reading station.

 

If you're in the Reading area and fancy it let me know on here or PM me.  Ta.

 

Number updates to follow!

not fancy a stop over mate?

8 for a 5.30 start! You southerners are crazy.

This might be the option for Garrpolomew

I do mate but hotels in Scouseland and Manc are a nightmare to try and book when I try to tie it up with trains so probably go for the minibus option if others fancy it.  There are a few of us round here!  

Try an apartment.

 

Google air bnb , Liverpool arts village rembrandt.

 

We stayed in it in October for a night out. It's 200 quid. There were 4 of us but you could easily get another 3 or 4 on sofas.

 

Meet the guy beforehand and leave the keys in the post box when you leave.

Have you ever travelled from Reading to the North West on a Friday afternoon?

 

It's not a pleasant experience. And that was back in 2001. Motorways were a definite NoNo as 30 mph was a stunningly good average speed. I generally used the A5, but now even that is overflowing. On one occasion I used almostly exclusively Roman roads and it was definitely better than M5/M6.

 

oops - just realised we are talking Saturday!

Get the train and join the pileyon!

You have to leave before 9 on a Sat for a 3pm Bolton KO, to be on the safe side, I've found!

im amazed he leaves it that late

We missed the 1st 2 mins on Boxing Day having left around 0930. He usually trains it up at the weekend when I'm not there to chauffeur him

I am sure you've done that more than once!

I'd be well up for it if it's cheaper than the train  and I can consume suitable amounts of booze on route, toilet stops required.

I've got four names down for this bus, would it be possible to call in London though?

Hearing Dan talk about booze just doesn't sound right.

I'll arrange for a pick up from Ealing Broadway station at 10am if that helps.

 

Drop off same place on way back.

 

Up to 8 bodies at mo but can get up to a 17 seater if any other London whites fancing jumping aboard.

 

Need to confirm numbers by Friday 16th so I can book the bus.

I've got years of catching up to do John on the booze, should be a top day out.

Yes I'm definitely on it, put my name down please. I'm assuming you can drink on the bus? Ealing Broadway pick up please

Can't really say no to this can I 

 

IN

Thorpey how many spaces do you have left?

Edited January 11, 201511 yr by Super Bock

9 on but can get up to 17 if you fancy it.

 

Next Friday I'll book the relevant bus size so depends on anything from 9 to 17 max.

 

Let me know mate.

Did any of the 9 get tickets?

You didn't, I didn't and obviously didn't get one for the driver and one drop out, so it's not looking good for the trip.  

 

Decision on what to do to follow asap.

Watch it in the Arkles

How many people need to be on the bus for it to run?

Thorpey just come up on train and crash at mine,there's about 10 of us watching it in Liverpool without tickets
