    It's a man thing Suzi. Last time I went there they had goals in the urinals with small footballs.  I got a hat trick including one off the cross bar.

    Peveril of The Peak is an excellent pub for the discerning beer drinker if people arrive early or leave late thus having time to visit.
    And 3 min from there is The Britons Protection 2 good pubs close to each other and about 40 min from the ground.

    Noticed that there are a couple of early trains on the Wednesday morning after 5am if any one can't get a hotel room.....find somewhere to drink/eat for a 'few' hours and get on one of them trains....not ideal but if needs must.

    Tell them at the start that you do not believe in imprisonment, so would be unable to convict anyone if that were a likely outcome. They will tell you it's your duty and you will to have to serve but then discretely tell you to go before the day's out. You're welcome...

    Due to work commitments on Wednesday, we’re driving up from Maidstone Tues am and straight back after. No drinking for me, apart from tea and red-bull.

    Having done Morecambe away midweek in the same vain last year I think i’m mentally prepared.

    To be honest, I’ve done Manchester to death when England played at OT whilst Wembley was renovated, so not too gutted about missing the night out.

    No idea yet mate, not looked into it. I drove up for Eng v Tukey at COMS a few years back and just parked at a city centre p&d which worked well enough.

    Travelling up from Woolwich after work on Monday night by train, got a Premier Inn booked in the city centre. Working from the hotel room on Tuesday and then the game, got the day off work on Weds for the journey back.

    unfortunately I stayed there about 10-12 years ago, and I'm led to believe it's not improved.

    you are on the same train as us though up there
