    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 😉.
    I think it will probably go straight to pens like the previous rounds.

    Doh! 🤦‍♂️ Even so won’t be leaving the ground until 10.30ish. Fortunately a few establishments will open until the early hours apparently.

    1353 from Euston. 
    Will be available for post match discussions about Jimmy Seed and Millwall, for a small fee.
    Staying in what I’m hoping is a small boutique hotel, but which might easily turn out to be a flea pit or a bordello.

    I can't believe so many people are getting trains, are you 100% confident there's no train strikes going on , on the 10th and 11th, they always seem to be on strike at the moment, and its hard to keep up, if you're not a regular commuter?

    There are no train strikes next week, 14 days notice has to be given of any industrial action.

    I work for the NHS and am not able to get any time off work at this short notice. Luckily I can work remotely with 2 laptops. 
    I will be driving to Manchester from West Sussex after my Monday shift, working from my hotel room on Tuesday 07.00-15.00
    Then drive back Wednesday morning before work at 16.00
    Staying in Premier Inn Manchester City Centre West. 
    Never worked from a hotel room before, I had to upgrade the room to get a proper desk, chair and high speed internet. 
    Just go on strike for the Tuesday and Wednesday, sorted!

    I am a GMB member and the Sussex Branch did not meet the required threshold after members voting to go on strike.

    National Express up on Tuesday morning - opted for the coach because of the risk of strikes/ Avanti uselessness. Staying near Piccadilly, booked two nights so coming back Thursday morning.

    Plan on getting 11.13 from Euston. Drop bags in dodgy Travelodge somewhere, then straight to Deansgate or Piccadilly - then onto OT. After the game probably drink around Northern Quarter, there are lots of decent bars there and much better than Deansgate imo (however Deansgate closer to OT). 
    Open return train ticket for next day, so small lie in and hungover train back wondering what our allocation will be like for Forest away in the Semis.

    We managed to get cheap advance tickets by going Kings Cross to Leeds and then onto Manc from there. £60 return in total from London.

    Coach spaces are available still btw. 
    As is Valley Parking. 

    £33 is a good return price.
