Closest ground to us yet still a pain in the arse due to lack of parking, let alone the increase in demand for spaces due to the train strike.

Think it'll be a drive to Richmond and then tube to Gunnersbury.

C2C Line is running today so take that to West Ham then get on the Jubilee Line.
Jubilee Line to Waterloo and change onto the South Western Railway towards Windsor & Eaton Riverside.
That will take you to Kew Bridge, just outside the stadium.

Getting home will be tougher though as trains seem to stop at around 6pm.

That's just what I've found after much searching. Windsor & Eton line seems to have a normal service during the day but nothing after the match.
Various options afterwards but with Gunnersbury closed for an hour after matches all involve walk then tubes.

No trains from Chiswick Park this evening either so looks as if we need to walk to either South Ealing or Acton Town on the Piccadilly Line, or Turnham Green (longer walk) on the District.

Going to have space for 2 people if anyone wants a lift to and from Manchester for the FA cup game.

Will be leaving Hornchurch around midday via Theydon Bois (to pick my daughter up at station) so can pick up on the way through or at tube station and straight back after the game.

Time to bump this thread up!
Just over 24 hours until our European journey continues.
Will this be it for another 20 odd years?
Anyway can't wait to find out what country we will be heading too.

Bring it on :scarfer:
