Will be travelling up in advance, see you there.AddickUpNorth said:9.30 train, into Sheffield at 10.36. Looks like I'll be doing the drinking for all of us!
Gutted for the rest of you though.1 -
probably had the 12pm ko booked up cause they thought weds would win, avoid trouble as much as poss1
-
Hopefully we'll put the Huddersfield game back 24 hours.0

That's exactly what I've been thinking.The Organiser said:Only as a Charlton fan could I have a cup quater final to look forward to and still end up pissed off and gutted.
I know shit happens, but this decision has clearly been made without any consideration for the supporters whatsoever.
It won't stop me going, but I feel angry and, for what it's worth, will let the FA know my feelings in no uncertain terms.

Good route that. Would possibly need 5pm coach as Meadowhall looks a fair distance...DanDavis said:

Lol - exactly.The Organiser said:Only as a Charlton fan could I have a cup quater final to look forward to and still end up pissed off and gutted.
Friday night was no good to most people, and now Sunday lunchtime seems to be shit.
To me, easy answer - get up early !
I'm gonna be there - just gonna get up at 6 - drive there , watch us win, drive back, simples - surely.?!
Oh, and definitely take 5k. no problems.0 - Sponsored links:

Over the moon its the Sunday.
Going to see boxing at the York Hall on the Saturday and didn't want to miss either.
Just means a late night followed by an early morning.0 -
Now that is all sorted, if CAFC make the Semi-Final and get the Sunday game there could be a Massive problem. The same day as the London Marathon.0
-
Just put in Google Maps, Dartford to Sheffield United and it came out at 3 hours 12 mins.
Easy !!0 -
Driving there and back is a plan lots will have, the problem is getting somewhere to park at, say, 11.30 in time to get to the game, especially if there are loads of us.
When we played Brighton last year it was handy to park near Lewes Station and get a train in. is there an easily Parkable station South of Sheffield to do the last leg, and that will get you into Sheffield around 11.30?0 -
It's a Sunday, I wouldn't worry about parking. It's even free in London on a Sunday!!

When I was planning the Wednesday trip last week I was going to park up at Meadowhall Shopping Centre and take the tram in. I believe the tram into the city centre is only about 20 minutes and I think you can get off at a stop that's about 10 minute walk from Brammal Lane, not sure yet which stop though! Probably will do the same next week. Someone said to park close to M&S at Meadowhall as the tram station is just a footbridge away. Free parking too think the tram costs about £3.seth plum said:Driving there and back is a plan lots will have, the problem is getting somewhere to park at, say, 11.30 in time to get to the game, especially if there are loads of us.

Doncaster would be your best bet maybe...??0

we have fans on here whom are on the fans forum now I reckon at least one if them could get the ear someone at the club and suggest a train being laid on there is nearly 10 days to the game it can be done0

Who remembers the coach to Halifax a couple of seasons ago? Left Well Hall at 5something. I'm pretty sure that was a 12.30 kick off.0

Everton to Arsenal is 210 milesgolfaddick said:time for Prague to do his "freedom of information act" bit & get to the truth of who made such a daft decision. Man City v Wigan doesn't need any trains or coaches and Hull & Sunderland aren't miles apart either............but no, they make the furthest team travel on a sunday where the first train doesn't even arrive before kick off & anyone driving would have to leave before the sun is up !!
Charlton to Sheff Utd is 166 miles
Hull to Sunderland is 140 miles

Can't even get from west London to south East London at that of the morning to get the coach. ****0

Nearest tram stop to the ground is the railway station (west street not much further).Nug said:

TBH from meadowhall if you are going to Bramall Lane, the train from Meadowhall to Sheffield Station is quicker ~ 6 mins and is cheaper ~ £2 return
Nunnery Sq park and ride is an option.
Parking -free but not that close to ground
- paid in town available and cheap on Sunday

Sounds crap, we have been well and truly shafted by the FA and every supporter should be up in arms and complaining....How can they arrange a game where a train does not run in to the host town from the away town until after KO, fucking ridiculous, somebody in the FA didn't bother or couldn't be arsed to check.cafc_4life said:May be of interest to those planning to travel up on Saturday.

Is it realistic to park at Chesterfield Station and travel in?
Or even a bit further south than Chesterfield?0 -
if the club were to do a free coach you could get that backcafc_4life said:May be of interest to those planning to travel up on Saturday. I have just booked up.

Due to a landslide journey 30 mins instead of ~10 mins
Consider derby as well
