Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: blinkpip on Friday, September 30, 2005, 16:55:11 Is it hard? I am quite a newish driver but I am desperate to go tomorrow.
The furthest I drove to was Bournemouth. :? Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, September 30, 2005, 16:55:36 Easy peasy!
Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: Bedford Red on Friday, September 30, 2005, 16:57:33 Very easy from Swindon I presume. Road works on A34 but they don't seem to be on at weekends so shouldn't hold you up much.
Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: pumbaa on Friday, September 30, 2005, 16:57:36 Do you like roundabouts?
MK is like a bloody race track. Full throttle between roundabouts. Ralphy would love it :mrgreen: Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, September 30, 2005, 16:58:18 There's only three roundabouts once in MK before you're at the ground though.

Road works on A34 but they don't seem to be on at weekends so shouldn't hold you up much. Err, I think they are on weekends. Ok, sorry if I'm wrong there. I came back from a friends at Newbury last Sunday evening and although the 40mph signs were up there was no work going on and people weren't exactly sticking to the speed limit, maybe I missed/didn't see them. Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: blinkpip on Friday, September 30, 2005, 17:25:37 Which part of Milton Keynes is the ground. South?
Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, September 30, 2005, 17:27:34 Northish, it's in central MK, but there is more of MK to the south of it than north of it.
Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: yeo on Friday, September 30, 2005, 17:30:17 Pippy find a car with a Swindon scarf in it and follow it.
Great fun 8) Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: stfc11 on Friday, September 30, 2005, 17:45:11 i'm putting swindon window stickers in the car :mrgreen: , my dad knows where he's going, follow our car!!!! went last year and was a fairly easy route, just missed one round-about, we were following the coaches but lost them, but realised about 200m down and turned around, ground is easy to find 8)
Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: yeo on Friday, September 30, 2005, 17:53:04 Blinkpip Neilstfc(from the Adver site) needs a lift at 11.30 why not see if he knows the way and he can be you co pilot.
Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: Ralphy on Friday, September 30, 2005, 17:54:57 Piece of piss.
Takes me 35-40 mins from my house. Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: Spencer_White on Friday, September 30, 2005, 18:26:25 Worth leaving an extra half hour for that stretch of the A34 tommorow. I think it is down to 1 lane, its a pretty busy road anyway.
COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU REDS! Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: kaufman on Friday, September 30, 2005, 18:30:23 i drove up there last season and it was one of the easiest journeys to a football ground i have made.
just print off one of those aa route maps to the hockey stadium and you cant go wrong and like people say once you get close you will end up behind a car with swindon scarfs in anyway so just follow them. unless they are lost of course Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, September 30, 2005, 18:30:39 The A34 was busy on the way to Swindon for me last Saturday, and slowed the traffic down considerably, so as Spencer says it might be worth while adding extra to account for that.
Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: yeo on Friday, September 30, 2005, 18:31:39 Blimey better leave at 7.00am then :mrgreen:

Cheers, but he is already sorted now. Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: blinkpip on Friday, September 30, 2005, 18:34:57 The other thing. I haven't got any break down insurance.
So if you see any Town supporter stranded with a metro, help me out. Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: yeo on Friday, September 30, 2005, 18:40:08 If you break down and have to be recovered home it will cost you more than a whole years RAC cover.

So if you see any Town supporter stranded with a metro, help me out. I strongly recommend you beg borrow or steal (legally of course, I wouldn't advocate criminal activity) enough money to get breakdown cover pronto if you drive a Metro. Quite probably the most unreliable piece of shit I ever had the pleasure :? of owning, along with a Rover 216. A trend appearing, maybe? Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: blinkpip on Friday, September 30, 2005, 22:23:12 Thanks for that mate. I now dead against going now. :cry:
Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: Tails on Friday, September 30, 2005, 22:26:47 Ah go on Blinkpip you'll be fine.
I was gonna see if my mates mum could possibly pick up another person but I think it's too short notice now plus you live in the opposite direction (I think) Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: blinkpip on Saturday, October 1, 2005, 11:59:43 Thanks for the thought mate. :wink: Cheers. have a good time. :P
Come back with a win. Ta. Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: Spud on Saturday, October 1, 2005, 12:05:46 Im glad im not going as i would have missed the Waterloo Crown Bowls Championships that are now on SSXtra. :?
Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: Spencer_White on Saturday, October 1, 2005, 19:47:18 You missed just two highlights of the day Spud. Taking the lead and singing in the pub. Living on scraps.
And to think we could have been going to lovely Torquay with their lovely covered terrace had the Cowshits not survived.

The worst thing from last season is that if Grunt Sniff had scored the pen...MKD would have gone and Torquay stayed up......always next season for the English Riviera.....have you ever been to Rochdale....I saw Colin Gordon score on his debut in 4 inches of rain and 5 of mud.....you're going to love it. Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: Spencer_White on Saturday, October 1, 2005, 19:55:54 But Rochdale wont be promoted.
Oh. Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: Spud on Saturday, October 1, 2005, 22:19:53 Quote from: "Spencer_White" But Rochdale wont be promoted. Oh. :cry: Title: Driving to Franchise Post by: Kinky Tom on Sunday, October 2, 2005, 00:52:19 No, never been to Rochdale.
No doubt I'll go soon... |
