    I’m actually in for this one. Re: watering holes, their social club right on top of the ground welcomes away fans and found they were all quite friendly last season.

    I would have thought an hour to get from the ground to Manc Piccadilly was doable.

    20 mins or so to get back into the City.

    Shame the club can’t organise a football special like the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea do to their Northern games.

    Think you would be pushing it to get the 19.42 from Rochdale to Victoria given it’s a 5.30 kick-off. The 20.00 is due in at 20.17, which is 18 minutes to change stations. OK in a cab, I guess, if the train is on time.

    A club that aims to run one coach to each away game isn’t going to hire a train, which would probably cost about £20k.

    This will be my first Charlton game since 2013. Looking forward to it. Hoping I have a reason to get to a second game around the end of May!

    Has anyone booked the 8:35 Manchester return to London. It is probably do able but wondering whether anyone has risked booking it?

    Yes! Spoke to a cab firm in Rochdale who said it should be fine getting back to Picadilly. Will book for 7:30, it’s a 40 minutes journey so have 25 minutes allowance for traffic and a supermarket booze stop for train refreshers.

    WE DO NOT WANT AN OPERATION SPOTLAND.

    We didn't need it yesterday & we only lose when we do. Surely you can make your own way there by car, train or coach. This is 2018 - not 1918.

    Or just by car, in this case. No danger of anyone organising anything, as far as I can see, but most people would realise a Saturday evening match outside Manchester is not the same as a Saturday afternoon game on the South Coast.

    In 1998, the supporters’ club ran 114 coaches to Wembley, including 79 from SE London and NWK. I think you’ll find we won that one.

    Surely did and still have nightmares about the late delivery of the 114 parking permits to this day. Would definitely book a cab if going back to Manchester, get a mobile number as last season was a close shave via Victoria. Queue in Sainsbury's was long as well!

    Re people needing to stop at the supermarket on the way back to the station, get your return drinks before you leave London and put them in a left luggage locker at Victoria.

    I’m off to this one with two others. As I now work in West Yorkshire it’s only a 30 minute direct train.

    5:30 kick off. It’s gonna be a messy one

    Great idea in theory. Maybe not so good in practice.

    Don't people want to drink them on the return train back from Manchester?

    The only problem is, the amount of ice you need to keep the beers cool.

    We've had our summer up here last last Thursday mate so the beers will stay nice and cool without the need for ice :wink: .

    This is why I’ve taken to drinking bottles of whiskey on the journeys to and from games. Works out a bit cheaper as well.

    Nice. How did you get tickets for that match, as I imagine they were in high demand?

    Donny away/ I stashed my beers in a bush and got them after the game. Got an odd look from the Police and then a laugh when I pulled the beers out.
