    I'm going. Never been to the Riverside before. Plan to get there a bit earlier to explore the city (I have been told not to bother!) and check out the famous transporter bridge. I don't get to many games but my recent record is pretty good as I haven't seen them lose for 8 games. I'm sure that run may come to an end on Saturday though!
    You can see the bridge right next to the ground.

    The boozers are not upto much but are very CHEAP.

    Yes, one problem I have stumbled upon is that on both National Rail and Grand Central's site the 08.06 is cancelled. Just phoned GC and having been told that "there has been a lot of disruption" by the pleasant enough Michelle over the phone, their customer services department opens at 08.00. She referred to her manager and said that it should be OK to use another operator, but can't guarantee it, if it means paying another operator they'll refund it. Even earlier start than first anticipated...

    Trainline has a 7.30 and 8.30 but no 8.06.

    Like I say, service is showing as cancelled so it definitely did exist. 7.06 and 9.06 seek OK but this has jobsworth written all over it.

    Years ago there was a problem with Grand Central doing a North East game, they are not the best.

     These were the arrangements made for today when the same train was cancelled,if anybody is on twitter maybe they can contact Grand Central & let us know any information,also the return train from Eaglescliffe was also cancelled.

    Sure there was one last season when a train suddenly vanished, may have been Accrington with the detour.

    I'd use the LNER and plead ignorance, that is a bloody mission going via Sheffield.

    Indeed, putting it mildly. Going to aim for 7.06 and try and steal a march.

    It all seemed much easier back in the day when all we had to do was turn up at kings cross or Euston or whatever and collect our tickets from you.
    Happy days Ian

    Had a look at Grand Central's tweets from last Saturday and it looks like they had issues but were letting people use LNER trains so some hope for us still
