You're on, and he most certainly is. I've managed to rope him in afterwards to carting a van-load of my stuff (old railway books :eek: ) from my Shepherd's Bush shoebox to store in his nice new des res. Mrs PP don't want 'em in the house... :(Quote:

Trainspotters! :rolleyes: Cheers, P. I'm going to pop in on Saturday night now and say hello to him. Wasn't going to bother, not out of disrespect for KT, but these events tend to be full of managers and w*nkers from elsewhere hoping to grab a free drink. And everyone sits around talking about the state of the track, who had to run for who while he was off sick, etc. Dav's given details of the next meeting so might catch you there.Quote:

Bummer! Send on my regards. Pink carnation is fine by me: that's the way I like to meet all my blind dates. ;)
Listen never mind your blind dates, although since the National closed I do believe that McGoverns could rightly be called Kilburn's ballroom of romance :eek: , the most important thing about the tickets being on sale is; HAVE YOU GOT A TICKET LIAM88?
Anyone fancy the booze cruise down the Thames before one of the games?Westminster to Greenwich £4.40 one way if you have a one day travelcard.
NO!!! :( I just found out they are on!Quote:

Well, you can certainly book 4 via Ticketmaster and I have 1 (very likely) spare for the West Stand so should you need it, there's your answer...Quote:

Well ma da isn't here to book the tickets but I tired the ifrst strage of the form typing in 5 tickets and it let me through to the next stage :D
We all need seats together you see :confused:
Good luck with the tix. S'pose they've got to draw a line somewhere otherwise the touts would've snapped them all up this morning.Quote:

For Dav, Sylvo, Daxion and anyone else who knows 'El Gordo' check out the link below. Right hand side, the bloke NOT wearing the union rag shirt.

Hehe-classic :D
You can buy 4 adult tickets and one child right?
no mate it only lets you get 4 at a time ! So just be ready when you book to go in straight away and book again and hopefully you should get seat beside others especially if you book at late hour when nobody else booking. Most people ive talked to that are going are in the north stand so that seems to be the place to go ! thats where mine are for anyway
Does anyone know the quickest way from Luton Airport down to Victoria and then from there to the game ? Just we get in at half 9 and hotel in Victoria so wanna just drop bags and go to pub ! From what i heard theres a boat going from westminister to Greenwich but just wondering how frequent it is if anyone knows ?
I was on two boat rides down the Thames last year - a quick return to the docks and back and later a return down to Greenwhich - on both occasions I was able to purchase alchoholic beverages for myself and my good wife. :p Still, best to enquire beforehand incase it's the Dry Line.
You will need to have 2 windows open at once on toutmaster and if you time it correctly you can get the seats together. If not keep going back and reselecting the seats untill you get ones beside each other.Quote:

Ok lads-ma da got the tickets! (5 at once!!!!)
Don't know how the heck he managed it but I don't really care :D
We're in the East stand!
Is seating mixed?
Time for a new thread and keep this one for ticket info.
Bus to Luton Parkway station;Train to Kings X;Tube to Victoria,on line of similar name......
As for boat....don't know frequency....try www.tfl.gov.uk
Don't expect a bar...just have to take plenty of cans!
Cheers for that will have supply of cider for the boat journey !! With ticketmaster you can sit where you want so unsegrated no real need when friendly . We are in the north stand row e for nigeria game bring it on ! Anyone know how long these boats take will get maxipad ( taxi ) down to game if im really missing out on drinking time !
Takes about an hour from Westminster to Greenwhich. Not as fast as the train but great views none the less.Quote:

The are 5 trains an hour from Greenwich to Charlton, a journey time of 7 minutes and the Valley is right beside the station. You can also get on this train in London Bridge and it takes around 20 mins.Quote:

I'd recommend drinking in Greenwich before the game rather than Charlton. There are some nice bars around Greenwich but the bars around Charlton are pretty horrible.Quote:
