Appy Posted 25 October, 2011 Posted 25 October, 2011 Over a month away, have managed to get return from Kings Cross with a railcard for 18 pounds. Fingers crossed the weather holds up.
This Charming Man Posted 25 October, 2011 Posted 25 October, 2011 I managed to get a return for £16. Not 1st Class though. Not looking forward to having to travel with the riff-raff again.

southamptonbairn Posted 31 October, 2011 Posted 31 October, 2011 I was getting advance rail tickets from Edinburgh, Adult and 15 year old for £38 return. However I then discovered that the Keepmoat does not have under soil heating and the corresponding fixture last season was called off for a frozen pitch. Just going to keep an eye on the weather and if it's ok drive down.

You are basing your decision on LAST YEARS weather forecast? madness, we had train tickets for Hartlrpool that weekend last year and luckily the snow cancelled the trains and we got a full refund, but i wouldn't not book for Donny because of that, you have as much chance of a game being off at any time in November, December, Jan or Feb.

stkev7 Posted 31 October, 2011 Posted 31 October, 2011 At £38 return for the two of you, it's hardly the end of the world if it was to get called off. He is coming from Scotland, we know what they're like with their money...
southamptonbairn Posted 31 October, 2011 Posted 31 October, 2011 He is coming from Scotland, we know what they're like with their money... :lol:m £38 isn't a lot,in fact it's one of our cheaper trips but it all adds up when you're travelling from Scotland most weeks. (can be over £100 for a home game) It will be about £45 return for the diesel so not much difference in the cost and I'm not willing to take the gamble cause this freeze IS forecast again this year. It will probably be our last game over the winter until sunny mid February for West Ham away. COYS

Not doing any forward planning this year from Mid November to Mid February, lessons learned from previous years. I'll make my decision on the day, there's not many grounds that will turn away fans on match day.
Dan Posted 31 October, 2011 Posted 31 October, 2011 Got 2 car load of mates going up for it from Southampton then back to Sheffield for a night out.
saints_is_the_south Posted 31 October, 2011 Posted 31 October, 2011 Going up on a mini bus for this one. Another new ground to tick off.
View From The Top Posted 31 October, 2011 Posted 31 October, 2011 Stafford Saints will be there, another new ground to tick off.
saint_jas Posted 31 October, 2011 Posted 31 October, 2011 I am off to this one as well, new ground to tick off, been a few already this season for me.
svetigpung Posted 1 November, 2011 Posted 1 November, 2011 I'm planning a trip over from sweden for this one. Its a place on my 'must visit' list, together with New York and Cape Town.. Anyone else planning to stay in Doncaster that weekend? That or travel back to manchester where i'm flying from. That was the weirdest google search i've ever entered "holiday in Doncaster"
Pugwash Posted 1 November, 2011 Posted 1 November, 2011 Should be there, probably for the weekend. Family in Donny and a mate in Bradford, who'll be coming to the game. I'll be the big guy next to the mad axe murderer.

That was the weirdest google search i've ever entered "holiday in Doncaster" I reckon Donny would be a cracking night on the p**s to be fair.
LGTL Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 I reckon Donny would be a cracking night on the p**s to be fair. Much like Barnsley and Burnley, I fully expect it to be a total northern dump, but a good laugh for a night out all the same.
Hemel Saint Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 .... Anyone else planning to stay in Doncaster that weekend? ...." We are staying overnight on Friday. Seeing THE JAM (FTJ) at Doncaster Dome Friday night and probably kip at Holiday Inn Express...
stkev7 Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 Much like Barnsley and Burnley, I fully expect it to be a total northern dump, but a good laugh for a night out all the same. Only going by what I saw on my last visit, it didn't actually come across as a dump at all. Even the locals were friendly... shock horror!
Sour Mash Posted 2 November, 2011 Posted 2 November, 2011 Only going by what I saw on my last visit, it didn't actually come across as a dump at all. Even the locals were friendly... shock horror! Stopped there a few times over the years for a drink and went there when we last played them and it's always seemed a decent town, plenty of places for a good drink.
stockportsaint Posted 10 November, 2011 Posted 10 November, 2011 I reckon Donny would be a cracking night on the p**s to be fair. I can confirm that Donny is indeed a cracking night out. Went on the **** there recently with work colleagues who live nearby. Locally it's known as Donny Vegas. Folks come from all the smaller towns around Donny for a proper night out, dressed up too. You don't stay in one boozer, it's best to join in the pub crawl up the high street. Also it was refreshing as a middle aged man not to feel like I was at a youth club, theres a wide range of ages out. Just bear in mind if you pull that Donny has the highest incidence of the clap in the uk. Defo better night out than Sheffield though.

Mr saint Posted 11 November, 2011 Posted 11 November, 2011 Any ideas when tickets go on sale? Appears Donny have released them on their website, but no sign of them on Saints...?
stevegrant Posted 11 November, 2011 Posted 11 November, 2011 Collection only Big deal if Donny won't print duplicates, send them by recorded delivery, only costs about 70p more, FFS
LGTL Posted 11 November, 2011 Posted 11 November, 2011 Collection only Big deal if Donny won't print duplicates, send them by recorded delivery, only costs about 70p more, FFS Which is exactly what they did for Barnsley earlier in the season. Sounds like they are being a bit awkward for no particular reason.
View From The Top Posted 11 November, 2011 Posted 11 November, 2011 So I have to queue after the BHA game to get my Donny tickets and after the BFC game for my skate coach tickets. Apparently it doesn't matter that I leave Soton later, despite having a 3hr drive home. Wan kers.
Mr saint Posted 11 November, 2011 Posted 11 November, 2011 Erm, so if I'm living up north at the moment....what can I do? I'm not going down to Southampton just to pick up some tickets.
saint_jas Posted 11 November, 2011 Posted 11 November, 2011 Erm, so if I'm living up north at the moment....what can I do? I'm not going down to Southampton just to pick up some tickets. Fantastic, if this is the case that is me screwed to going to this game.
Berkshire Saint Posted 11 November, 2011 Posted 11 November, 2011 It's as if they are totally unaware that so many of our fans live outside of Southampton. Dead keen for this as I'm up in Sheffield that weekend for a reunion with some Uni mates so I guess I'll just have to pick them up at the Hull game.
saints_is_the_south Posted 11 November, 2011 Posted 11 November, 2011 Maybe ring the TO and explain the situation and see if they can post the tickets to you recorded delivery? Heck you have to pay a £3 admin fee so you might aswell try and get your money's worth for it!
svetigpung Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 How are they gonna solve ticket pick-up for us outside the frigging country then?
Turkish Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 I'm gonna be coming down via train from Harrogate area for this one if any of you norvern monkeys want to buy me a beer on the train.
JRM Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 How are they gonna solve ticket pick-up for us outside the frigging country then? order the ticket and tell them you want to collect it from Doncaster on the day of the game, or just pay on the day, it is a pain, but you can still do the game so worth doing that
Nexstar Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 Any tickets ordered and not collected by the Friday before will be sent up on the travel coaches and available for pickup at the Keepmoat.
View From The Top Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 Just pay on the day guys, that's what I'll be doing.
CFSFC Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Im not one to moan at the club, never have with the 3 pound fee etc, but this is nonsense. Think someone needs to get on them for this.
shurlock Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Picked tickets up after the game tonight - wasn't a long queue and was done in 5mins.
saintwiz Posted 20 November, 2011 Posted 20 November, 2011 Picked tickets up after the game tonight - wasn't a long queue and was done in 5mins. Did mine in 5 before the game.
svetigpung Posted 20 November, 2011 Posted 20 November, 2011 Any tickets ordered and not collected by the Friday before will be sent up on the travel coaches and available for pickup at the Keepmoat. OK. Will book my ticket tomorrow. Can't chance it and buy on the day , after flying over for the game. Anyone else staying in Donny for the weekend?
rick1976.4.38 Posted 21 November, 2011 Posted 21 November, 2011 just called the tickey office,we can collect our tickets at donny
svetigpung Posted 21 November, 2011 Posted 21 November, 2011 just called the tickey office,we can collect our tickets at donny Same here , booked for collection in Donny. Easy.
Sour Mash Posted 28 November, 2011 Posted 28 November, 2011 Anyone remember if they run a decent bus service to and from the ground - town centre/train station? Just cabbed it last time, but remember after having to call up cabs and wait around having a pint. Fair bit of traffic afterwards as well I think?
sticksaint Posted 28 November, 2011 Posted 28 November, 2011 Football ground guide says there is a shuttle service that leaves from the interchange and is fairly regular. I walked it last time -it`s a fair walk!

I walked it last time -it`s a fair walk! Cheers. Trying to remember what we did last time. Think we went for a pint after the game in that Harvester type pub by the ground and called up cabs. Guess the bus must have just looked rubbish or had too big a queue to bother with.

What time you arriving mate? I'm heading down from Harrogate, probably get the train about 11 so get to Donny for about 12.30. You about for a beer?
