@SoundAsa£ You must have been about 14 👏, did you go on your own mate and out of interest by what means did you get there?
I was 12. My sister and brother-in-law lived in Waddington just about 3 miles from the ground. I have no idea how I got there for the game, maybe Mum and Dad drove up with me for a weekend stay with them. I would have gone to the game with my brother-in-law who had started supporting The Imps when they moved there a few years earlier. The 1985 game I would have driven up myself and stayed a day or two with them.
I lived on the RAF base at Waddington from 61 to 67. 34 Vulcan Street.

Doesn’t sound the greatest of retirement places, has to be said

My sister and brother in law lived near The Horse & Jockey.
Anyway, I'm in, see you all there. Better be worth the 65 quid LNER have stolen from me
Sorry Leuth but you cant blame LNER . If youd bought a train ticket when they was 1st available £36. If you was going with a couple of mates youd of got another £7.20 off

Out of interest who do you use to book these cheap train tickets. Golfie Jnr was talking of taking his girlfriend to an away game and was looking at semi-local ones like Cambridge or Cheltenham. He looked at Lincoln & said the cost was c£60 (as a pp just indicated). Where can you get them for what looks like half the price....?

I think the two main things to do are book early ideally when the tickets are released which I think is 12 weeks prior to date if travel - (be wary of international weekends if booking that far in advance though!). Also look at the split fare websites (this is one, but there’s a few now https://www.splitmyfare.co.uk/). Booking train tickets a couple of weeks before is always going to be more expensive than a booking much earlier, both are an expensive way to break up with a girl though!
I'm getting the early morning train in myself. Will spend a very pleasant day sightseeing and such. Will make sure I'm wearing Scarfie if anyone wants to say hi

Im always booking this stuff late. Just paid 62.50, not a direct train going via Newark. Quite a long wait at Newark for the Lincoln connection.
There are no direct services from Kings Cross to Lincoln but with the University having become huge and the general population increasing rapidly, LNER have plans to introduce as many as five direct trains a day to and from London KX…..within the next 12 months I believe……not before time too! However the line between Newark and Lincoln is not high speed, so will still take approx 20 minutes.

How old is the boy and his girlfriend, Golfie? Do they use trains much and do either of them have any railcards?

I've driven past Newark, so know it has a nice castle!
