Ray. 217 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 What is the holdup do you think with the tickets for Liverpool away? Supposed to have gone on sale last week to ST Holders and tomorrow for members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleoftheshed 388 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Waiting for sky to confirm the KO time. I think it will be the Sunday either 1.30 or 4.00.The Monday is may day bank holiday so it may even be then - I wish they would hurry up.

Ray. 217 Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 Thanks, I guess we just got to be patient, but I agree I wish they would hurry up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleoftheshed 388 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Our Barclays Premier League away game at Liverpool has been rescheduled for Sunday, May 2. The game was originally scheduled for the day before, but will now be live on Sky Sports with a 1.30 pm kick-off. It is our last away game of the season, before we face Wigan Athletic at home on the league season's final day. Kick-off for that match on Sunday 9 May has been confirmed as 4pm. Our FA Cup Final against Portsmouth is on May 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron 30 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 No trains going on that Sunday morning to Liverpool from London is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleoftheshed 388 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) No trains from London at the minute. Might have to get the thomas cook coach. Edited April 12, 2010 by middleoftheshed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray. 217 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 The only one that I can see that gets you in time before Kickoff leaves London at 5.50 and takes 6 hours 47 minutes, but you have 2 change twice.05:50 London Euston [EUS] Liverpool Lime Street [LIV] 12:37 6h 47m 2closeChange informationTravel by Leaving From To Arriving 05:50 London Euston [EUS] Northampton [NMP] 08:33 09:30 Northampton [NMP] Rugby [RUG] 10:21 10:35 Rugby [RUG] Liverpool Lime Street [LIV] 12:37 Better off getting the coach really, another early start. Hope they pile on plenty of coaches knowing that there are no direct trains. It would have really helped if the kidkoff being at 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleoftheshed 388 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Sod that - I've never used the thomas cook coaches before are they ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray. 217 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Sod that - I've never used the thomas cook coaches before are they ok?Yes they're OK, depends on how you are with sitting for long periods of time. Of course you're not alowed any alcohol on board. They'll stop for about 40 minutes to an hour at a Service Station on route. They usually show a Chelsea video and you get to do a quiz. Get to the ground about an hour / hour and a half before kickoff, so still time to get a drink or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the stewards said to me for the Villa Game, got any alcohol, I said no and he said Why Not Don't think they like it if you're drunk either.

Ray. 217 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Just tried to book the coach and nothing about it on the Thomas Cook website, what's the point of that? Clearly says on the official Chelsea site to click on the link for Thomas Cook to book and there's nothing on there about the trip.

It's not too bad, as I said before they generally play a Chelsea DVD, on the way up and have a quiz to pass the time. Wish we could get some singing going on the way up, that would be great, not sure whether the regulars would mind? Best one was on the way back from Bolton, and the coach just erupted and we had good solid singing for at least 20 minutes, you should have seen the look on the stewards faces.

Decided i cant be arsed to sit on a coach for stupid amount of time plus its a pain to get to the bridge for that time in the morning so we will either drive or spend the weekend sat - mon in liverpool ( got family friend up there originally from fulham moved 5 years ago so somewhere to stay and liverpool is meant to be a good night out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleoftheshed 388 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I'm going to Manchester on the Thursday and driving there too so it's going to be 4 long car journeys in the same number of days for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray. 217 Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Well I can't drive although I agree it is awkward to get to the Bridge that early in the morning, but I did it for Manu, amd i'm prepared to do it again for scum. Also i've payed my money now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleoftheshed 388 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I've not been sent a boarding pass or anything for the coach is that right? Is it just a name list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
