Dan Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Railcards are the way forward. Mine's just expired. I'm getting a return from Skegness which is coming to about £25, which I still haven't bought and now don't have the money to do. I'll find a way.

You start off going in completely the wrong direction.

itsaknockeart Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Just spoke to the ticket office, only a handful of single tickets left now.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 That's a massive detour. You start off going in completely the wrong direction. I was giggling at the start when it said head to Nuneaton, chuckling whilst reading the rest then burst into laughter when I saw the grand saving of 2quid. Still 1 spare seat in our minibus for 19quid return

Soar Fox Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 I was giggling at the start when it said head to Nuneaton, chuckling whilst reading the rest then burst into laughter when I saw the grand saving of 2quid. Still 1 spare seat in our minibus for 19quid return I wouldn't even do all of that if it saved me £20. We've got a mini bus going up from Aylestone. Leaving at 9am plenty of drinking time in Huddersfield.
promised land Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 That's a massive detour. You start off going in completely the wrong direction. I'd say cut your losses and go direct as it saves about 3 years of your life kicking around train platforms. You only need one delayed, cancelled etc and it messes your day up.

Soar Fox Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Same You going that ricks bar? Titty bar? Not sure, seeing the lads who I'm going with on Friday so i'll suggest it to them.
Fox92 Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Leicesterpool, I admire your willingness to help fellow fans out but four seperate trains!?

Basingstoke Fox Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Didn't buy mine online because there was no option to collect from the ground and I won't be at home for a few days. Came home on my lunch break today just to buy a ticket for this. So glad that I did now!
HEGGSY Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Anyone got a spare, my mates left it just a bit too late.
Maybes Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Leicesterpool, I admire your willingness to help fellow fans out but four seperate trains!? You can get a return train from Leicester to Huddersfield on Saturday for £35/£36, so no idea what why he is suggesting to fellow LCFC fans that they travel to Nuneaton. Leicester to Sheffield (Off peak return) £17.30 with a railcard, £26.20 without. Sheffield to Huddersfield (Day return) £6.10 with a railcard, £9.15 without.
