    Yep driving with a couple of mates. Would prefer to spend £20 on petrol and travel in ease and it take 3 hours less than the coach.

    I'm going, can't decide if I should drive or get the coach.

    Coach = far too lngo to get there, can have a few beers

    Car = Getting in there in much better time, can't have a drink.

    Do what I'm doing and get someone else to do the driving = getting in there in much better time, can have a few beers as well

    I want to go, I don't really fancy going on my todd.

    If I coach it from Chatham that will be a long, bloody lonely coach journey and the same if I drive.

    Mmmmmm, sure you don't wanna go Ketters!!

    I want to go but car is knackered and trains are rubbish.

    Would rather stick pins in eyes than travel by coach.

    Blackburn and Liverpool both look like being weekenders, far more attractive option.

    I'd love to go but have to go down to the in-laws in Cheltenham with the FPO. Gotta find a pub down there to watch it in...

    Presumably to get away from the in-laws?

    Most definitely - and their little yapping dogs! Don't do dogs - I'm a cat person.

    I am going with my Son (aged eight). Living in Norwich, we don't have the option of getting the subsidised coach travel. Have looked at getting the train. Normally there is a connecting service Via Ely. It takes five hours. However because is Easter, you've guessed it, Network Rail have graciously decided to do some F*CKING engineering works on the line between Norwich and Ely so it means either:

    a) Coach to Ely and Train to Manchester Piccadilly

    or

    b) Drive to Ely then train to Manchester Piccadilly

    or

    c) Drive all the way to Manchester Piccadilly

    I think I'm probably going with c)

    We will stay the night in Manchester and come back the next morning.

    Going back to my home town on Wednesday night. Ohhh Marks and Sparks in Toddington......

    Thing that's a pain is that I have the longest drive out of us lot!

    Staying at my folks.

    Will return Sunday night so I can spend Monday sightseeing if you know what I mean and perhaps watch the game in some dingey Ramsgate pub although I rather watch it from the North stand.......

    Manc Addick (in Kent).

    Probably the quickest and cheapest way to Hell and back.
    Make it in time in one of Ketters' harems in Sittingbourne?
