From your link go - Tickets/Online ticketing/away league games

Ta. I had tried the online ticketing bit, but it's always either down (as it still appears to be now) or the away league games link doesn't work.

Oh - was up just now when I tried it
If it aint broke dont fix it - worked fine last year this new one has no end of issues

Or you could go the long way round round lorry route via the M25 then A1M

A quicker easier drive...but more miles of course.

While my car is free (governments slice of CCT that is) I pay my company 15p per mile so M4, 25 & A1M not really viable for me on my own.

Is it though?  Adds 45 miles to the journey, or 90 for the round trip.  That's one hell of a detour.

Another alternative to the recommended route now that the A421 has been dualled between the M1 and the A1 would be Swindon-Oxford-Bicester-Buckingham-Franchise-Bedford and then up the A1 to Peterborough.  All of that route apart from the Swindon-Oxford stretch and the A421 west of Franchise is dual carriageway or motorway.

Is this what we've come to, discussing best routes to away matches?

I love pre-season.

Sadly, yes.

I don't.  And I blame Jed.

Have tried that once, even without too much traffic found it slower than going via Northampton.

Really? It's about Peterborough away FFS on the thread titled "Posh A", what do you expect? How to get to Crawley? Or perhaps our line up for the last game of the season assuming we're down already? How about programe content for the Torquay game?

I'll be there!!! BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ

Really...well believe me going the extra miles in a straight line so to speak aint a lot different to going round roundabouts...stopping at lights and slowing down for caravans....just to mention a few things that will drink your juice.

Pay the fucking extra and have an easier ride....and get there quicker.

[fatbasher]

Been there and done it Leefer. @ an average of 35-40k miles per year since 1988 there are not many routes in the area between Aberystwyth and the wash i've not taken. So given that i'm in no rush to get to Posh on Saturday and the shortest route might take me more or less time than your 40 tonne route and baring in mind that my two week holiday this year will be a driving holiday I'm in no rush to add to the companies/governments coffers any more than i need to thanks.

Are people really arguing with each other about what routes they need/should need to take to Peterborough? Does it matter? As long as we're there, right?
