Hi Guys
Is anyone going from the Bristol area who would like to share costs. My wife and i would like to travel but in the present climate we cannot afford the train fair and I have severe problems with my tendons in the hands so can't drive for a while. My wife really doesn't feel confident driving that distance but she would be willing to either share driving and costs if given a lift. either PM us or ring us on 07890 891 345. otherwise we will watch in the local Pub.
Come on yoooooooooouuuuuuuuu gullllllllllssssssssss. :clap: :clap: :clap: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :clap: :scarf: :scarf: :clap: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :clap:

Me and my girlfriend are going by coach and are "bus stopping" in bristol.
It cost me £60 return from cardiff to manchester.
Megabus.com

I looked on Trainline.com anmd rail fair was 32.50. But if two of us went up it would be a bit expensive for us. Car is our only real option as costs with 4 up are a lot less than coach or train fairs. I am off sick with damaged tendons at the moment and being self employed don't get sick pay

just checked megabus and they qoute £40 for the outword journey starting at 06:30 and £30 for the return journey leaving at 18:25 which I doubt we could make as the interchange is likely to be too far away to get back to in time. although I don't know. in any case we can't afford that

would have had two spare seats and in the circs would have been happy to have taken you for free. Unfortunately have to work until half way thru saturday morning so cannot make it myself.

Will try Louis but train has now been ruled out as they only list fares above £63 each and thats not including getting to Old Trafford. Had a verynice phone call from a guy at Exeter Mercedes. we had a nice chat and it's nice to think people out there are thinking of us. It really inspires me to raise as much as I can for the sponsered walk on the 10th July.

It would be worth you starting a thread for listing pre-season friendlies with that as the opener.
