I’m actually in for this one. Re: watering holes, their social club right on top of the ground welcomes away fans and found they were all quite friendly last season.
I would have thought an hour to get from the ground to Manc Piccadilly was doable.
20 mins or so to get back into the City.
Shame the club can’t organise a football special like the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea do to their Northern games.
Think you would be pushing it to get the 19.42 from Rochdale to Victoria given it’s a 5.30 kick-off. The 20.00 is due in at 20.17, which is 18 minutes to change stations. OK in a cab, I guess, if the train is on time.
A club that aims to run one coach to each away game isn’t going to hire a train, which would probably cost about £20k.
Has anyone booked the 8:35 Manchester return to London. It is probably do able but wondering whether anyone has risked booking it?
Yes! Spoke to a cab firm in Rochdale who said it should be fine getting back to Picadilly. Will book for 7:30, it’s a 40 minutes journey so have 25 minutes allowance for traffic and a supermarket booze stop for train refreshers.
We didn't need it yesterday & we only lose when we do. Surely you can make your own way there by car, train or coach. This is 2018 - not 1918.
Or just by car, in this case. No danger of anyone organising anything, as far as I can see, but most people would realise a Saturday evening match outside Manchester is not the same as a Saturday afternoon game on the South Coast.
In 1998, the supporters’ club ran 114 coaches to Wembley, including 79 from SE London and NWK. I think you’ll find we won that one.
Surely did and still have nightmares about the late delivery of the 114 parking permits to this day. Would definitely book a cab if going back to Manchester, get a mobile number as last season was a close shave via Victoria. Queue in Sainsbury's was long as well!
Re people needing to stop at the supermarket on the way back to the station, get your return drinks before you leave London and put them in a left luggage locker at Victoria.

Great idea in theory. Maybe not so good in practice.

Don't people want to drink them on the return train back from Manchester?
