I arrive at heathrow @ 10.15 am Saturday morning. I guess by the time I clear customs, it'll be closer to 11 am. how long does it take to drive to Preston from London? well I get there in time for kickoff?
It'll be a close one, but good luck. Go up the M40 - it's much quicker. Use the M6 toll (avoid driving on M6 through Brum at all costs) and you should be fine.
Your only chance would be to fly to Manchester and there don't seem to be any connecting flights, and anyway you are probably in the air now. If you land really early and if you clear custons, go straight to a BA desk and ask about flights in case one is delayed or something. But don't bother, frankly. Preston is a dump. We have won this league.
Am I the only one watching this thread to see what time Oz clears immigration? And once he gets past that lot, he still has to collect his car. Best of luck Oz!!
failed lads. some selfish bastard who was sitting next to me on the flight decided to fall ill and we had to make a detour and land in Serbia to get him to hospital, delayed me by over 2 hours. I did explain to him while he was still conscious that I needed to get to Preston, but he was busy dealing with what turned out to be a heart attack. hopefully he is ok.
cheers fella's. it was always going to be touch and go rob. I can't wait for next Saturday! I did send out a positive thought to the bloke last night, hope he's ok too.

It's a close one.
Youre bonkers. If you're not on the road by 11 then don't talk yourself into it.
