Sour Mash Posted 29 July, 2013 Share Posted 29 July, 2013 No thread on this and only a month away, so may as well start something off. Still loads and loads of dirt cheap train tickets available from London Liverpool Street for this, £16 return without a railcard. ONly two away games in the more than two months after this one, so worth getting a day out in while you have the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 29 July, 2013 Share Posted 29 July, 2013 Will be going to this. I've got a friend who's a Norwich ST holder so will go up Friday for the weekend. I like Norwich as an away day, it's a decent night out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 29 July, 2013 Share Posted 29 July, 2013 Nipper & I intend to go as he needs to tick it off. One of the few away days when driving is actually cheaper and quicker than the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 29 July, 2013 Share Posted 29 July, 2013 Yeah Norwich is a pain to get to, miles away from anywhere. 4 1/2 hours from Southampton on the train but did it in just over 3 hours in the car last time I went up. I remember drinking at the Compleat Angler last time I was there for footy, think it was our last away of the playoffs season - good pub if the weather is good, right opposite the station and it's nice to be outside by the river when the sun's shining. Not far to the stadium from there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints_is_the_south Posted 29 July, 2013 Share Posted 29 July, 2013 Train tickets purchased for this weeks ago, should be a good one. The Compleat Angler by the river looks a good bet, hopefully the sun is shining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben05 Posted 30 July, 2013 Share Posted 30 July, 2013 Just booked mine, a whole pound more expensive to go first class On those trains a pound is probably fair value for the upgrade! With a 16-25 railcard I can get from London to Norwich and back for £10.60! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 30 July, 2013 Share Posted 30 July, 2013 Can i ask you what you paid for them and should i be getting them now rather than later. I paid £21 in total, £13 for London Liverpool Street to Norwich and £8 for Norwich to London Liverpool Street. I'd always book them as soon as you can, it's worth signing up to the notification emails from the rail companies so you'll be told when the advance fares are made available. It's usually 10-12 weeks in advance, but can vary for weekend travel depending on bank holidays and engineering works. I've got my ticket up to Manchester for the game at Old Trafford already, but can't get the return leg on the Sunday yet as they've not released the advance tickets. Edit: turns out the advance tickets on Virgin are available for that weekend, but most of them have already gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Compleat Angler is opposite the train station, by the river, and is only a few minutes walk from the ground. Will be plenty of our lot in there. Pretty big outside area there too, weather should be decent tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 30 August, 2013 Share Posted 30 August, 2013 So where is best to go out in Norwich Saturday night? If it's pubs/bars you're after, the 'Golden Triange' is good. Plenty of nice pubs and unlikely to see any aggro round there. We'll probably drink there then go to Karma later on which is more of a bar/club, music is good there. There's a Revolution but I can't remember exactly where, Waterfront is decent too. Loads of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 30 August, 2013 Share Posted 30 August, 2013 Getting the 8:30 train from central tomorrow morning, any decent pubs around the ground? Yeah I'm on the 7:43 from Basingstoke - gets into Norwich around 11:30. Compleat Angler by the river is decent from what I remember last time, and there is also a group of bars including a decent Lloyds (if there is such a thing) bar by the riverside.
