Any body on the 10:05 from Leeds for the final?

I am if it's the East Midlands one that leaves Sheff. Midland at 10.47.

Oh, and good Don Givens story!

 

[marky200484]

We'll be on the East Coast train leaving Newark at 07:59, should be in Kings Cross for 09:29.

Ta!

The train from Leeds goes via Donny and not through Sheffield unfortunately

Anyone else on the 8.15am National Express coach from Leeds?

I looked at the train prices 2 weeks ago and the price was reasonable but when I went to buy after the win last Monday the price had gone up by £20. The coach takes 4 hours but it's £65 cheaper!

Going down on the 06:05 train from Leeds and returning on the 22:00 from Kings Cross! A very long day! Hopefully worth every penny of the £66 travelling costs!!

Chapel,

Got our return train tickets from Bradford, using the Grand Central service, coming back on Sunday, direct route (no changes), £59 for my lad & I. Sadly, this service doesn't go from Leeds IIRC.

Anyway, a general Q to all you peeps 'in the know': given we have the East side of the Stadium, can anyone please suggest what might be the the most suitable pubs to drink in, e.g. I note some have suggested 'The Green Man', 'The Torch' etc, but unless my navigation is way out of tune, they're the west side aren't they

Thanks in advance...

Does anyone know which M1 services have been designated for the Blades i.e. for our official coaches? I'm driving but we'd rather stop at a "Blades services" as I'll be nervous enough without having to listen to their lot singing about Jordan Rhodes.

I was told Leicester Forest for Hudds and Watford Gap for Sheff but that was only from a guy in a pub on Saturday night

Just a quick Q: anyone have a rough idea how long the tube journey will take from KX to Wembley Park station? I was told it's about 40mins but that seems much longer than I'd anticipated

 

[marky200484]

Nearer 20-25 mins

I believe this is correct... we always tend to have Watford Gap.

[Burton Blade]

Any blades in the burton on trent/tamworth (spit on the floor) area. I've found the best way is the XC train to Birmingham New Street, then walk thru to Moor Street station and get the Chiltern service to Wembley Stadium station. I booked in 'super advance' (god bless the trainline.com) and got Birmingham to wembley for £16 return on a railcard.

Best way, no that would be the pendolino service to Euston.

Cheapest yes, but the train stops at EVERY station there and back, it takes a looooooooooooooong time.

 

[raul]

Just a final thought that crossed my mind earlier for those driving down the M1 - Leicester Tigers have around 30000 fans travelling to Twickers on Satdi too.

Pendolinos from Manchester to Euston under 2 hrs 10 mins,there will be lots of Town fans on them i reckon

Still plenty of room in all the other carriages though eh

Have Huddersfield stole a march on their Yorkshire rivals and commissioned all the seats ?

Yes weve arranged for ticket reservations to be on blue and white cards on Saturday

I suppose we have to be grateful they're not smashing them...
