[STFC_Gazza]

Tickets are available for £17.00 return to Charlton at the minute on Southern Railways website if you do 2 singles

Depart Swindon at 14:28 arrive at Charlton 16:31 £8.50 inclusive of Tube

Depart Charlton at 22:17 arrive at Swindon 00:44 £8.50 inclusive of Tube (ofcourse if there is extra time your fucked)

Otherwise get a group saver!

Done and sorted - thanks for info Gazza !

As it goes the last train from Paddington is not until 11.30 so I reckon it should be "do-able" even if there is extra time.....

However penalties might be an issue 

[STFC_Gazza]

£17.00 is a fucking bargain (£8.50 each way including Tube) in anyones books and gives plenty of times for a few bevvys in the Big Smoke, like myself I am sure there are people going by themselves to the match and not able to get group saver discount so.... Southern Railways is always the cheapest website IMO.!

big risk if it goes to extra time and penalties

There is also the risk of being kept in the ground at full time  to let the home supporters disperse first.

Wouldn't think so. Even so. Match ends at 9:30... half hour in even gives you 15 mins to get to the station. its right around the corner. If we werent kept in at Millwall cant see it at Charlton really....

without extra time you'll probably be ok, but totally screwed if it is extra time.

I'm not sure how I'm getting there, but not via train from swindon

Gazza you are taking a massive gamble..

22.17 is cutting it too fine.

[Jamiesfuturewife]

They don't call him Gazza " the gamble" Stanley for nothing!

[random_five]

I admire his balls.

Not literally mind...

Meh, True but if we do go to extra time etc,  I'll have money to get an offpeak single by then back to Swindon so not overly bothered. It's whether you want to take that gamble or not!

problem is that the next charlton train leaves at 11.30 but you miss the paddington connection so have to wait there overnight! unless trainline is wrong. I suppose the tube to paddington may be quicker but the stop is a bit of a walk isn't it?

somebody tell me I'm wrong. the train would be easiest

That why I have done it how I did it. Closest Tube is North Greenwich (02 Arena) unless you get the DLR from Woolwich Arsenal and change at Tower Hill

You can get back to Didcot if it goes to extra time.

Im with Gazza that the 10.22 train or what ever it is, is plenty of time get to Charlton station if the game stays within normal time.

If it goes to extra time, you can get back to Didcot or Reading. You'll have call out a relative or V Cars from there.

Very true. and if enough Town fans get back to Didcot its what 10-15 quid to get back to Swindon each if you share a taxi or whatever with other fans so not end of the world.
