Away travel for an Ex pat

leefenderleefender
in Match Day Travel
After 22 years of living in Oz I will be doing a quick visit for a week to see my Mum end of Feb and the only match I will be able to get to is the Wimbledon away. I'll be going alone like a Nigel no mates. Is the Valley coach the best option or train?
Gutted about the timing as I've not been to a home game in years but it's the only dates I can do due to work

Thanks

    Depends on where you are travelling from. Hard part may be getting a match ticket

    Go by train

    If you can get a match ticket then train to Norbiton is the easiest route from Waterloo. 10 minute walk to ground from there. As has been said already it is a dump so don't where anything smart.

    Mate, I'm from Charlton, I was born to hate Palarse

    You’ll struggle getting a ticket if I’m honest, there pony ground holds very little
  • Brendan_O_ConnellBrendan_O_Connell
    Mate, we’ll only get about 600 tickets for that game. I’d contact the club and let them know your situation as you’re likely to miss out otherwise.
  • AFKABartramAFKABartram
    You won’t struggle for a ticket as hopefully someone on here will help you out Lee.

    Raise the subject again fella when the tickets are about to go on sale

    Why are you no longer called Pat mate?

    Damn, that was my line.
  • ozaddickozaddick
    Hello mate. Hope ya well big fella. The last 2 trips over for me I only got to away games, Bradford and Blackburn, travelling on me Todd. You’ll be in good company with our lot, I’ve yet to meet a prat going to Charlton games.
    As AFKA has said, someone on here will sort you out a ticket. It’s a long way to travel and not get a game in.

    Enjoy home time lee, I got back here (perth) yesterday.
  • leefenderleefender
    Thanks for the replies everyone, just got back to work.

    Will raise again AFKA when just before I fly

    Christian, we need to catch up for a beer old boy, didn't know you were back in Perth
  • leefenderleefender
    Have changed flights so I will make it to the Shrewsbury game on 24 Feb, thanks for all the responses

    is the Shrewsbury game possibly going to be cancelled due to checkatrade clashes??

    No I think it's the away game (this month) that gets postponed (again) if we win tomorrow night.

    Surely a league game takes precedent over a micky mouse competition, although I'd be happy if the Shrewsbury game was re-arranged (again) as I can't make the 23rd.

    No I think the JPT game takes precedence, presumably because they have a tighter schedule to stick to than the league campaign.

    You'd better tell that to all those who've already booked their train tickets (again) for the Shrews game.
