    Another option is Marylebone to Moor Street, and then New Street to Stoke.

    New Street to Stoke is being advertised at £6.55 single, Marylebone to Moor Street is normally £5.50 single.  Prices before any railcards.

    An away day I earmarked at the start of the season. Never been. Decent allocation I'd imagine. Hope ticket prices are reasonable.

    Get the later one to be on the safe side.

    Really reluctant to book anything too far in advance now, with the sheer number of Sky matches.

    Perfect if Sky move it to a lunchtime kickoff!

    one of the few grounds ive not been to this season 

    at start of season had 6 to tick off 

    wigan
    west brom
    derby
    swansea
    stoke 
    leeds 

    cant do the festive period ones so will at least get 4 of the 6 ticked off.

    Does anyone know please, how you get the 3+ group discount applied? Even going via Virgin’s group page I can’t it below £32 each.

     I remember having this issue before but can’t remember what the work around is. Cheers.

    Dont know the way round it panda.
    Virgin even have the front to say groupsave been applied when it has not.
    If you travel with a mate quite a bit get a two together railcard.
    £27 with a discount code get a 1/3 off.
    Weve got 4 cards in our little lot.
    Got the money back on one game.
    If your 26-30 also get one.
    If you take your kid get one.
    If your over 65 get a senior.

    There's a good app which i use called TrainPal, it automatically gives you group save discounts and offers you ticket split as well.

    I presume Stoke have under soil heating?
    Do Stoke ever have postponed games these days, due to weather ?

    I'm assuming that they will give us plenty of tickets for the game, it's quite a large away bit.

    Even allowing for our Leedsesque away following the past 18 months, there will be plenty of room.

    Cash on the day as well before anybody asks.

    I've taken a chance and booked, so it's bound to be switched for TV or postponed.

    I imagine you'll be okay with the weather.  A relatively new ground should have undersoil heating.

    Yes it has.

    The ground is very exposed to the weather though and snow/ice on the approaches and in the stands can cause a problem - but the pitch will be ok!

    Just booked up for this 11 out 18.50 back. New ground to tick off.

    " Don't be surprised if you are kept in after the game, in a fenced off compound to the rear of the away stand, whilst the Stoke fans are allowed to disperse. "

    Yes I had a feeling that at least one game had been postponed because of ice/snow in the approaches to the stadium.

    This game will not be covered by SKY for live coverage,so it is safe to book tickets.
