Yet more travel disruption on the trains.

Thats ridiculous, its always on matchdays.

[Romford]

Its become more than a hinderance now....its a joke.

I'm sure they look at our fixtures

Its also funny how they don't give reduced prices when the service is taking twice as long

[issi]

Driving up for the weekend, the cost of any other method means the environment is the last thought. Suppose there are roadworks as well

[roblo]

Was thinking about doing this. Will probably go up Friday night (afternoon off work), stay in Durham with my mate, then head over early in the morning on the bus. b*llocks if I'm coming back after the game. Night on the sauce and back Sunday think is the best bet.

You can fly return on Saturday for £110 with British Airways. Free booze on the flight I do believe.

drive, stay overnight, sample the locals.

Geordie birds love cockneys!

A night on the town in Newcastle is fuckin wkd.

The thing that annoys me up there is the food. They put gravey on everything. I see a kid in a hotel with a peanut butter sandwhich. And I could not belive my eyes when he put gravey on it. Could you imagine peanut butter and gravey.

[Faded & Dead]

Already bought the tickets but only seems to add 45mins to our train, now seems to arrive at 12.30 instead of 11.45

Really?? I must have missed that one. I thought we ate the same stuff as everyone else in the country. Although cheesy chips on the quayside is a must.

[WHID to deserve this?]

For that time of year I would recommend a nice pair of shorts and a vest top for evening attire..... with flip flops of course. It will be balmy weather up there.

I remember Sunderland about 10 years ago I went up for the weekend with a mate of mine who supports QPR. We stayed with some friends and he went to sleep on the sofa in front of the fire with every item of clothing (including a coat) he had taken with him for the weekend inside his sleeping bag. Can't think why they call us soft eh?

[The Witham Boy]

[The Witham Boy]

If you're gonna slag 'em off for putting gravy on everything at least learn how to spell it.

Easy Jet from Stansted £48 quid last time I checked.

For the time we want, it is £66.98, at least 3 in the car = £200.94, plus 1 bag to check in, extra £15 ( for the stuff that can not be taken on the plane) plus parking £19.80. Comes to £235.74, £250 with petrol to airport and back. Driving to Stanstead, we are nearly 1/4 of the way to Newcastle anyway.

Taking the car wont come to that sort of money. Save some money for the drinking

[light n bitter]

May have left it too late, my lad fancies going to this one, but I can't see anywhere on OS to apply for tickets???
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
