a poor side to the "official" coaches is the no beer rule if you go on a private run bus then you are allowed "discreetly" to drink a few beers

forgot to mention, train was cheap using family railcard (free for 3months with Daily Mail)

2x Nights HolidayInn Express @ £26/family room inc conty breakfast
1x Night Premier Inn @ £54/family room inc English breaky

£106 for three nights + £64ish Train for four of us
= £42.50 each for 3nights accom + Train travel

god only knows what the drinks & food bill will be like though

Whilst in the queue for tickets this morning someone had mentioned going by train and another fan said they had been told that works were planned on the lines which would affect those travelling to the final so have advised against travel by train on the day - not sure if this is true or not or when the works are scheduled for if at all but mentioning it so it can be checked if necessary.







Must admit, when Stephen Wild touched down on Sunday my booty left the settee for a few seconds

There are some works planned on the lines, mainly tube and road according to TFL and National Rail.

We're booked on Virgin Trains West Coast, four of us going for £15.80 each, and we'll be there in two hours...... (going Fri, returning Mon to avoid the West coast mainline works on Sat & Sun)

£37.50 does seem a tad dear

Is that return and where are you travelling from?

Cheers
