Thought we took a few there last season as well may have been in the region of 1k

[Colinjb]

Was at that one last year. We took about 2 thousand.

 

The game that finally nailed the lesson in for me. NEVER LEAVE EARLY!!!!

Was it 2k we took I know there was a lot there it was a good but long day out went by train, this year driving up and back though.

Even from the Midlands it's too far for me, so fair play to those who are going.

Is a bit far! 3.5 hours there, 3 back for me last year. And no, on the return I didn't 'hang about.'

I can't see what pleasure you'd get from 6 hours plus on a motorway, but each to his own. It's not so much the poodle up, but the long drive back that does my head in. There have been times when i've litterally had to open the windows to stay awake coming home from games.

It was as much the desire to try the furthest away trip as much as anything! But yeah, was a bit gruelling.

 

Plymouth is the furthest for me now though......

 

As you said Dune, complete respect for all those doing the 10 hour round trip from Southampton.

[RedAndWhite91]

Long old trip last season, did Hartlepool as well, that's a lot of hours sat on a motorway. Luckily I wasn't driving... Giving it a miss this year but fair play to those going up again, let's hope for 3 points this season, not just the 1.

[70's Mike]

Went there when we won 6 nil

Train from Euston to Preston and then on to Carlisle

Same route back and then stopping service out of WAterloo after Hole in the Wall shut

[dannysfc]

I will be making the trip up to Carlisle either Tomorrow or Early Saturday Morning and am going by Train this time as I went by Travel Club last season and will get the train to Euston and then a direct train to Carlisle and will look up Hotels and that sooo I can find somewhere to stay as well !

Will then leave Early Sunday Morning and either go back to Euston and then on to Southampton or go via Birmingham and have checked the trains and found that there are Big Engineering Works this coming weekend which is annoying But it's all part of the fun and being a Die Hard Saints Fan like Me!

[dellish]

i am enjoying my away days more than ever .seems the older i am the more away games i go to . just turned 50. looking forward to weekend .only prob got my other half as my son cant make it .

[View From The Top]

No way were there 2k there last season.

[RedAndWhite91]

No way were there 2k there last season.

 

Seem to recall the figure being somewhere around the 900 mark.

[Dr Who?]

If it continues raining the way it is could get called off. Terrible weather up there at the moment. Been pouring with rain all day!!

[ladysaint]

Didnt think about the weather to be honest but didnt carlisle's pitch get flooded a few years back, wasnt it the one where they found fishing swimming on the pitch? Remember going to Newcastle a few years back, actually got to newcastle and parked up only to hear that the game was called off about 10 mins after we arrived dont fancy going through that scenario again.

[iansouthstander]

921 Saints fans at Carlisle last season according to last weeks programme , which was looking ahead to this weeks match.

Nice one Ben!

 

Hope you have a great time and we pick up the three points.

Bloody hells bells, that's fast. What do you drive ?

[dannysfc]

Thanks benjii Mate and am definately looking forward to it now and fingers crossed that we'l get something up there but we will see!

[dickyhale]

We did it last year but cant make it this year. Christ that M6 is a boring drive sheep and hills. Parked near the ground behind some office for £3.00. Good luck to all those that do it this year and last year I was sat at the front and got a player shirt when they throw them to the fans so it may pay to sit near the front

[Big Dick Last]

Going up tomorrow afternoon and staying the weekend.

Rest of my mates are going up early Saturday morning and coming back on Sunday.

I think the weather forcast is better for the next few days.

[MadDogMatt]

congrats to the 900+ last year we are making the trip this year

 

not sure how many of the extra 500 tickets have been sold

 

for those thinking of staying up there we booked the IBIS for £50 for a twin room

[Dan]

After driving to both Pre season games in Switzerland this is a doddle.

 

Went last year on the train to Carlisle, this year on a mini bus. Setting off at 5:00am.

 

Up the saints.

[landford.saint]

Going to Castleford early tomorrow. Mrs LS suggested driving on after to Carlisle. Just got to love a woman like that.

[dune]

Even if it was you would have the choice of literally any other game in the country to go to.
