I get it, and I know it's part of the culture, but the fact there's a good 50% of this thread dedicated to desperately trying to find somewhere to booze is a bit.... sad?

First pelter incoming!

 

If people were just looking for somewhere to booze then they'd be asking for the nearest off licence to the ground. Going to the pub before an away game, and specifically finding one with plenty of fellow fans in, is part of UK football culture always has and always will. It doesn't mean, like I think you're implying, that everyone is a desperate alcoholic!

It's a bit sad on your part that you feel the need to post such guff.

Any streams likely for this

Not like there is a load of history or culture to the place to go and see either is there.

Some nice parks and lakes though 🤣
 

If they had low allocations, it would be up as there is one of the most disliked away trips - middle of nothing interesting, direct rail link is a pain

Like I said, I get it, just the dominance of it in a pre match thread I find a bit mad

I've barely said anything to warrant that reaction, I said I get it's part of the culture.

 

Just its dominance in this thread seems a bit much. Especially after a trouble free, booze free winter world cup.... Including a real reduction in people going out to watch it in this country, which in Nottinghams case meant no one got their taxi smashed to pieces  

 

I like a drink don't get me wrong, but the amount of people who still have to go to the football blind drunk (and then moan about ticket prices HA) is crazy.

It is one of the most bland, characterless places in the UK.

Guys any recommendations for car parking 

 

[Kopic]

Is the date confirmed yet?

[Manc Fox J]

Not had my ticket delivered so I'm going to need to collect from the ground. Could someone who has contacted the club let me know where the collection point is for our tickets?

Same here, I love how the directions for N1 are nonexistent. Will be fun in the dark.

Bletchley has a huge railway depot and the Reading rooms which was exactly halfway London to Brum for the trains,Very interesting and a stop off for Q Victoria to take a break on the trip .Go down the A5 rather than M1 and there is all manner of canal and transport history
