There is a direct train from Swindon to Plymouth at 8.30am (FGW). Also calls at Chippenham.
Group savers of 4 work out at £29.50 each. Got some today. You cannot use the Cross Country trains (good, they are shit anyway).
Comming home isnt quite as simple. Best train to get is probably the 17.54 (enough time to walk back and get to an offy)to Westbury, then change again at Bath. That sounds complicated but the connections are good, and it is still quick.
If you are feeling brave then there is a direct train Plymouth - Swindon (FGW) at 19.42.
I used to get that 8.30am train for work sometimes, and that will be good. Will be absolutely empty, loads of table seats, and a direct service. Classic train away day!

Is there an away pub for this?
As I live in Plymouth I'd prefer to drink with town fans beforehand, otherwise I'll just have to go to the students union before walking up...

Isnt the student bit really close to the station? Ive heard the closest pub to the station is a student pub, very strange.
Dont really know anything about the pubs. Ive only been once before, the 2004 game. That was a minibus, and we arrived fairly late. Went in the closest pub to the ground. Sang a few Swindon songs and got chucked out after about 10 minutes!

Not too sure what's its like round the station or where i'm drinking yet but there is a 'Spoons vitually next to the ground. They let away fans in for both games last season too. Does get rammed though obviously - and they have bouncers so might have to keep your vocal cords under wraps temporarily Spence. |

Majority of pubs by the train station are student pubs purely because the uni is a 2 min walk from the station!
Last year I went to the Student Union and there was about 3 other town fans so not the place if you want loads will!
There is a spoons called the Brittania nearish the ground which allows away fans although only if you dont start singing songs :'(

When I looked last week it had prices for both advance and matchday, now it just has one set of prices, which is why I wondered.

Whatever bullshit they put out about making it all ticket you can guarantee that tickets will be available on the day.

Saturday away days at Plymouth or Exeter are rare.
