    Mates rates? 😉
  • From SW Wales, I drive to London on Saturday. Certainly a train strike Saturday, so will have to brave the M25 for the Lincoln match. Lunch with three daughters on Sunday, then drive to Manchester on Monday for a couple of nights. Maybe a visit to the National Football Museum, and definitely the Lowry on Tuesday, then off to the match. Back to Wales Wednesday. Looking forward to it!

    Match don’t kick off until 8.pm so you won’t have long in the pub after you’ve left the ground, even less time if it goes to ET (cough cough).  Unless of course your hotel has a bar that will stay open, otherwise get some tinnies in 😉.
  • Easy one for me and future son in law. Driving across from Warrington :)

    some pubs in Deansgate are open until 1am. We’ll have United soundly thrashed by half time so there will be plenty of time for a post match pint!

  • Wish me luck, leaving at 0900 tomorrow.
    From Larkfield?
