This is going to be like the trip to Bristol City with all the cars coaches and badges on the Motorway. Anyone remember the services with that "blind" bloke on the squeeze box playing Mull of Kyntyre? He couldn't believe his ears - or his eyes when he saw all the coins flying into his hat!

Went clubbing and had a heavy night before Walsall away back end of the shit league 1 season and got the coach in the morning. It was worst day ever. Horrible day on the coach
Wake up 10:30 , taxi or a nice stroll to Bramall lane at 11:00, then hopefully a few celebratory beers afterwards. One of the few times I'm grateful of living in Sheffield.
Drive to Derby Friday. Breakfast at Junction 26 (highly recommended!). Hotel in Derby (Smart Aston, opposite stn). Derby v Millwall Sat p.m.. Need more of us to support The Rams. Leisurely breakfast Sun a.m. Stroll across road for 1020 train. Back to Derby and drive home Monday - very relaxed.
Will probably stay with Ms Lat on the Saturday night at her lovely home in Mosborough and then take the 8 mile tram journey to Sheffield on the Sunday morning lovely!
I will be on the beautiful island of Boracay in the Philippines. I love the Philippines but it is the one country in SE Asia that doesn't care about English football - they do all the crap American sports. I will be following everything closely on www.charltonlife.com with a beer in hand!
Let me know what's it's like, I've always fancied a trip over there.
Drive up from Chelmsford, with my two Daughters. After the game drive back via the daughters universities (Oxford and Twickenham) and get an hotel west of London as I need to be in Bath on the Monday afternoon. Just under 400 miles in the day. About the same distance as it is to Glasgow, or Dortmund according to google maps!

I hope to be able to watch the Scotland game in the Hotel in Sheffield, not sure what to do re the England game, whether to listen on the radio on the way back, or watch it about 1 hour south of Sheffield looks like Long Eaton ? - anybody know any decent boozas around there that will be showing it? Any advice on decent Curry in Sheffield?

The Saturday games look like non events, straightforward wins for the away sides.
As far as curry in Sheffield is concerned go for a Thai instead.
Drive up midday Saturday, boozer for the scores followed by the Chelsea Spurs game, back to Jury's Inn, tarted up and OUT OUT for the evening.
Sunday, Fry up, stomach a couple of beers whilst hanging then Brammal Lane
Sounds like so many of us have exactly the same plan! This is going to be some Charlton party on Saturday night!
I watched football in the Old Monk which has screens all round the place showing different games plus sky sports news. Bit of a big old place. Shef red might be able to recommend somewhere nicer but it does show everything.

The big pubs on West street will show sport. As will the sports bar on Division Street (parallel to West Street). Three pubs at the town end of Ecclesall Road will also show sport.
The common room on division street is one of the better places to watch games, as for curry, the ashoka on ecclesall road is one of the better ones, or urban cholla on London road,near bramall lane
