Anyone on the train for this?

I'll join you in London

I certainly wouldn't drive there again, it was a nightmare getting away last season.

There's a fair few of us London based going on the train, We'll sort a meeting place out shortly if you're interested in joining up?

Sure, let me know what pub or time at station.
Reevesy, get involved.

Presumably theres a few of you coming up from Swindon? Last time I went it worked pretty well getting to Saaarfend at 11.30am and getting breakfast in Spoons. I guess that'd mean leaving Fenchurch Street at around 10.30am to go to Southend Central?

Just me as far as I know. Bloody part-timers.

Nah most who will be going are still on the way back from todays game.

I asked the usual suspects in the pub.

Maybe I smell?

Sorry, I'll be otherwise engaged.

Yes Fenchurch street, trains every 15-20 mins, 50 minute journey. There's a 17.14 and 17.29 back.

You can get group savers (4 or 6 people) for £17 from Didcot to Southend. If you add the Swindon to Didcot bit that makes it about £21 in total.

Quick update, us greater london residents are heading to the Last Post, which i think may be the Spoons mentioned above.

Would imagine most of us will be heading there for 12-12.30

i'm thinking of going to this.what's the score on the trains folks?
what's the best station to get off in southend?

I should be there at 1ish, if you see a ginger walking in at that time give me a nudge.

Reevesy - I'm on the 12 from Fenchurch St if you want to meet up.

Arriba - last post is practically opposite Southend Central, not sure if other stations are nearer the ground though.

Prittlewell station is only a short distance from the ground,you'd have to travel from Liverpool St.

Southend Central is on the line from Fenchurch St and a longer distance from the ground,
but with a more regular train service.

Sounds good. I'll head down and meet you there. Are match tickets on sale yet? There was nothing on the OS last time I looked

Not sure, I can get you one when i get mine if you want.

two gingers walk into a bar...

Will be pay on the day also.

Wonder if I still look 20 years old?

...you'd think one of them would have seen it

I'll be going this one, from Chippenham Station

thanks.
i had a look on the trainline and prittlewell seems to get trains as regular as southend central.

What is the difference between Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak? Super off Peak is cheaper but the same route, can both be purchased on the day?

Im a bit stuck with this one, really want to go to this one but need to be back in South London for 6.30

Not sure its do-able.

Sod doable langers, get down there and take the black eye with pleasure.

That sounds like a plan! Watch us lose now...

Nah, they are in disarray, were pumped to the max..............................1-1

There you go Langers, wouldn't be very late.

17:29 Southend Central [SOC] London Fenchurch Street [FST] 18:23
