Jesus!

Some may admire your dedication Herthab. I'm starting to think you're just not quite the full ticket.

You're probably right.  I decided that I would try and go a whole season without missing a first team game. I wasn't anticipating two trips to the cunting Withdean and a possible trip to the home of the Pink Panther though....


(Durham. Durham.Durham Durham Durham........Get it?)

I'll be gentle.

It's quite simple. I play shite music (loud so no one can sleep.) I don't stop (Unless I need a piss) I don't let people smoke (But you can drink) I take the petrol money when we get there (So you're stranded if you don't pay up) and that's about it...

Ahh, a post that can't possibly be misquoted in any way shape or form...

I will prob drive if its Histon but won't be able to go to Durham.  Actually - How far is Histon? I know someone said its near Cambridge but never driven over that way so no idea!

I put it in Route Finder and it was 3 1/2 hours from Swindon. So it's probably 3 hours or less.

Which was two days ago.

On a good day it will take about 2 and a half hours to get to cambridge from swindon.

The only thing is, if there's an accident on the m25 then you're fooked.

Cheers!  I will advertise spaces nearer the time if its Histon.........and also will probably require some new tyres :(

I have nothing to base this on, having only met Hertha twice, but I reckon he'd have good taste in music...guitar stuff, mid to late 70s, that sort of thing. :band:

Nooooooo, avoid the M25, its much further and definitely no quicker. I used to live in St Neots (20 miles west of Cambridge) and I regularly did St Neots to Lyneham (or Chippenham) using the A420/A34/M40/A45 (Northampton) then cross country through Rushden. Normally about 2 hours 15 minutes.

Alternatively go up through Bicester/Buckingham/MK/Bedford but IMO the road isn't as good.

I go the MK/Buckingham/Bicester route to every Swindon game and whilst the road isn't that good, i generally do it in 1 hour 40. Cambridge is about 30 minutes from here, and whilst i don't exactly know where Histon is, it's only a few miles from Cambridge.

Don't do the motorways, cross country is quicker.
