There's not many better things in life than watching your side put out a reserve team in the early rounds of a competition that most clubs find pointless, at the opposite end of the country, on a Wednesday night.

sandwichsaint Posted 9 October, 2013 Share Posted 9 October, 2013 Anyone know if they're going to stick us in the upper tier a usual? Or due to the expected low crowd we might be back in the old lower tier away end? How low's low? Two PL teams Home draw, 2 rounds away from a semi-final Reasonably attractive oppo (us!) Half term, adults 15, kids 5, footy hotbed Winnable game (s******) for their new manager Reckon they will get 20k easily.

Yeah that's my thinking, 20k a decent crowd, but plenty of room.to fit the usual away allocation downstairs. Expect we'll get stuck upstairs again, part of the advantage for them of doing that is it requires less stewarding etc I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 9 October, 2013 Share Posted 9 October, 2013 Train tickets aren't £160 quid They are on TheTrainLine.com.... what website you looking at? (that's for 2 tickets btw) Also are you planning on buying your wife a whole flower shop? 40 quid!? When was the last time you bought flowers? 1978?

Griffo Posted 9 October, 2013 Share Posted 9 October, 2013 (edited) They are on TheTrainLine.com.... what website you looking at? (that's for 2 tickets btw) When was the last time you bought flowers? 1978? From London I think 2 singles came to about 50 quid. With a 2nd ticket (kids) that should come to under 100 for the 2 of them. Then whatever it costs to get to and from London. Can't see it coming near to £160. Use East Coast and book singles to and from Kings Cross and then sort out your Southampton - London/London - Southampton separately. If you walk in any newsagents, just inside the door there's flowers for £3/4 usually. If you'd like any more financial help, feel free to PM me.

Griffo Posted 9 October, 2013 Share Posted 9 October, 2013 They are on TheTrainLine.com.... what website you looking at? (that's for 2 tickets btw) 12.53 from Kings Cross on Wednesday, arrives in Sunderland for 4.39 (£49.50 for adult and child) 14.06 from Sunderland on Thursday, arrives back at Kings Cross at 18.11 (£38.40 for adult and child) £88 quid in total but that's with me assuming your kid is young enough to get a kids train ticket. Then just add on the to and from London trains, should be a fair bit under £160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will cost us £43 to get into London and then another c.£12 for tube fare there and back. So, that's only £17 shy of £160. So I'm still looking at c.£250 (even if I go for the Sainsburys flowers...)

Use east Coast Trains website, no booking fee and runs well. You could do it from mid-Hants, return for £90 with a family railcard, not cheap, but not bad as a one off either.

You won't need to buy her flowers (guaranteed) and you and the nipper have 80 quid for a boys night out in Sunderland.

You're not alone in doing it though, i know another bloke who has to appease his missus by buying her presents everytime he wants to do anything without her, he's a right dweeb though and clearly greatful just to have a women, the sort of bloke you'd find at Chris De Burgh concerts.

However I suppose the thinking is that with the Tyne-Wear game at the week-end they'll need loads of coppers,then having to police 2 games in their region on the same day will need even more and that with the half term holidays there won't be enough coppers on normal time to go round whereas putting off one of the matches would alleviate the problem.
