Still my favourite ever away day. £2 each to the driver (Mr T) to divert via Blackpol, best 2 quid I've ever spent!Tavern said:I will also be in the picture some where. Great day and all went back to Blackpool on our coach and carried the events on.

If I remember right, this was the one where there were engineering works on the mainline into Carlisle. We had to go to somewhere and pick up some little chuff chuff train that went about 30 miles an hour across the Lake District. When we passed level crossing there were groups of hikers waving,exspecting the train to be full of characters from the railway children. Instead, there were 3 carriages full of us hanging out the windows largely the worse for wear ! Shouting and hollering. Happy memory .

Got to Carlisle at about 1.30pm and rushed a couple of beers down before the game. The game felt like a bit of an anti-climax in some ways even though we did come back from 0-2 down. Then we had an excruciating train journey which only reached Preston at about 9pm. Went to a couple of pubs there, followed by a club and a 3am curry. Got the first train home to play football in the morning and cricket in the afternoon!2 -
Yep I'm in that pic somewhere!0

Have a story to tell of that day (weekend) and just maybe brave enough one day to write about it.Needless to say if the truth ever comes out a price could be put on my head.1

Think it was the Cumbrian coast line, which is way slower ...Simonsen said:

In there somewhere, on the same coach as tavern and goonerhater etc, the club was called banana banana, we got free entry as the pu we were unwanted us out due to noise as they had a conference or private party on in the hall. Cracking weekend0
-
wasnt on the coach DA9 was in the car convoy with Duncan,Selwyn The hat etc. We checked into a B+B walked down road and Ian Pitman was hammering on window of boozer it was u guys from the coach. The guvnor of the pub owned the club.
Great times--and 3 legends no longer with us who were that day and night2 -
So who else here was on Mr T's coach. I recognise who Southampton addick is. DA9 I'm not sure. Nor goonerhater.
What was that nightclub called? Bananas or splits. What a great day out. Got home at 10 am on the Sunday morning. If memory serves me right did we do a hospital run after leaving Blackpool. Crazy days.0 -
Was also on Mr T's coach and his girlfriend the club was called Bananas0

I too was on the coach and won't forget the night and that nightclub where the queue was swept aside to allow the unruly mob to stroll in and take prime position at the bar!markmc68 said:So who else here was on Mr T's coach. I recognise who Southampton addick is. DA9 I'm not sure. Nor goonerhater.

Got train home, stopped in Preston (I think) for an age.
Managed to get out the station, Kentucky and back on before it pulled away.
Late back to Euston, blagged a black cab home off British Rail (curtesy of the King of blagging WP)0 -
We stopped in a boozer in the Cumbrian countryside and then got a police escort to the ground. It was about half one. The police wanted us Herbert's in the ground but we decided to have a game of football with the locals on the pitches beside the ground. They soon left us alone allowing us to have a stroll into town. Big mistake.
There were were charlton everywhere. The long walk back to the ground I recall being a bit lively. Is there any coverage of the game anywhere ?0 -
As above blackpool what a night.picked up the old yorkshire gray.bazer here.b mob.0
