ajthefox Posted 15 December 2015 Posted 15 December 2015 Not been but heard good things about McCooleys. The Flute is always good for football/cheap beer and there's usually a decent atmosphere in there. On the above map thats where it says A5039 if you continue along the main road (beyond where the directions take a right) and then swing a left up the hill at the main junction. But yeah, I've got a ticket on my ones so wouldn't mind a couple bevvies with some fellow city fans first.
ScouseFox Posted 15 December 2015 Posted 15 December 2015 haha the flute! what a place. had no idea they did food, let alone breakfast. is it still dirt cheap? and do they still have no black ball on the pool table?
ajthefox Posted 15 December 2015 Posted 15 December 2015 Not sure about the pool table but yeah, still cheap and they do the standard beer and burger type menu as far as I remember. Cheap and cheerful as they say..
ScouseFox Posted 15 December 2015 Posted 15 December 2015 yeah used to be where most nights started when we were in sixth form. 3 jagerbombs for a fiver, 3 bottles of beer for a fiver pretty sure. think they sack off deals on a saturday though but still be cheap as chips.
StanSP Posted 15 December 2015 Author Posted 15 December 2015 haha i'm not home for the weekend, otherwise we could've all stayed in mine for christmas in between everton and liverpool away. save the travelling . you dont have to be home...
LutterworthLCFC Posted 15 December 2015 Posted 15 December 2015 Can you access the lower tier if you have a upper tier ticket?
BridgfordFox Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 I've got two upper tier tickets I now can't use - £41 each, I'd prefer to sell the pair together. I can post them on Thursday, next day delivery so they get to you on Friday, or you can pick up from me in Nottingham. Cheers.
WardyisPukka Posted 16 December 2015 Posted 16 December 2015 So the club has sent me two tickets instead of one both with different seat numbers and not charged me for it. Guessing this is a feck up by them. Shall i email them asking whats going on or keep it and sell it to a mate hoping no one else is in the seat? One has restricted view written on it one doesnt - does that mean theyve sent me the spare ticket because of the restricted view?
VLC86 Posted 17 December 2015 Posted 17 December 2015 What time you recon is the latest I can leave Loughborough area and get to the match?
ScouseFox Posted 17 December 2015 Posted 17 December 2015 What time you recon is the latest I can leave Loughborough area and get to the match? 12 at the latest i'd say. it's a flat two hour drive in minimal traffic, factor in united being at home and stoke being at home (to spurs) both on the way as well as almost definitely some stupid roadworks or average speed checks, and there'll be a lot of traffic. then obviously that two hours doesn't factor in getting very close to goodison but not being able to park, having to find a space then walk for 15 mins or whatever. 12 would be pushing it quite a bit.

If they figure out they've ****ed up they will cancel the extra ticket so it won't work on the turnsyle Happened to a mate of mine at United away last season

What do you rekon about train @@ScouseFox ? I'm going out tomorrow at my mates (he lives in Hull) was just going to get a train across to Lime Street (takes about 2 and a half hours according to internet). Was going to try to get the train at around 8am, scheduled to arrive at 11.30am. Wanted to leave time for potential delays, I gotta get through both Leeds (I know you live there atm and it's usually so busy) and Manchester Picc, dunno how it'll be on a Sat. Can easily have a look around the City and get the bus up to Goodison as soon as I arrive tbf.
ScouseFox Posted 17 December 2015 Posted 17 December 2015 yeah it should run quite smoothly on a train. assuming its hull-leeds then change to get the leeds-lime street, the second train is usually easy enough although again you'll be caught up in old trafford "traffic" so id expect it'll be quite a busy train. Leeds station is massive yeah and usually the Liverpool train is at like platform 16 or something miles away from everywhere else so give yourself a few minutes to get the connection. train would be quicker than driving is guess. hopefully the weather isn't too bad if you're planning on a stroll round the city pre game .
NewquayFox Posted 17 December 2015 Posted 17 December 2015 1 ticket spare for this as my Son can't make it, face value £41. DM me for details... Up the City Ticket now sold......

Hotel at the Docks so a little further along which may make it cheaper as it's sort of a straight line up to goodison from there, not sure if city centre will differ.
ScouseFox Posted 18 December 2015 Posted 18 December 2015 yeah there's uber but they're very limited so watch out, cos there's basically none on the street they can do those "price surges" due to "demand", even when there's no real demand just because there's hardly any cabs.

ScouseFox Posted 18 December 2015 Posted 18 December 2015 Ahh okay fair enough, cheers for the heads up, might just get the hotel to get one! you'll probably be ok and über tell you before you book if they're gonna randomly triple the fare, just thought I'd let you know not to necessarily rely on them cos there aren't many .

Yeh I imagine it's the same as in Nottingham where I am.. it's launched but there's like 5 drivers and they're all city centre Going to walk back but won't have any time to spare on the way there so definitely going to have to be a taxi!
