I didn't realise that driving back to the game was prohibited

I'd suggest any London team needs to consider public transport access. Whilst I have a car now I never owned one in my decade in London, the majority of my friends didn't run a car either. Any London entity reliant on people driving has instantly stopped a fair chunk of the London population from attending.

Apparently Micky thinks no one wants a beer at a game of rugby. I presume he doesn't condone drinking and driving.

In any event as usual he spectacularly missed the point. Presumably he hasn't got used to the brave new world without his pals Gutters and CN.

It's one game! And it's necessity due to other events. It's not reliant it's a suggestion that now and again maybe lookin at other options.
If you want to support the team you will find a way of getting there and getting home.

Of course I don't condone drinking and driving, and I go to watch rugby never seen it as a drinking event.

It's one game guys, it's not as if they have gone to that kick off every week. Sure you could do one game without a pint!

And not missed the point at all. Having supported the team from Wiltshire for 10 years driving has always been my option, be it Fri night sat aft, sat eve or Sunday wherever they played.

Taff - Why get a train? Central line is an hour from Ealing Broadway to Newbury Park.

Kit.. Those travelling home living outside Metropolitan Essex would on getting to Newbury
Park be required to then catch a rail replacement bus which would probably add another 45 mins mins to an hour on if travelling out to The likes of Shenfield and Ingatestone. Then of course the journey time home from the station your dropped off at.

Do agree about KO to suit the club thou, how many times have we been at the butt of it etc, Would just have liked a earlier KO for extra crowd reasons really, kinda puts off the families really and later on a Saturday night, people do have other stuff to do really, shame really, not being negative on this, just real
