    Not long to go now Orient away really up for this game and I think City will win. Anton Du Beke on strictly last night criticism of Hasma Yassin bottom half saying he looked like he played centre forward for Bradford City upset Mrs Rocket. Anyway game on away tickets sold out tremendous and Keighley Crew travelling down so watch your backs “ Os “ Still pondering over Journey to Brisbane Road should it be Kings Cross underground to Leyton or St Pancras international to Stratford International we arrive Kings Cross 11:01. Bigrod need your advice :rolleyes:

    :) I am down the night before, so travelling on the underground. I use this website to plan my journeys.

    On the screen shot below I wouldn’t bother with the 58 bus as it is quicker to just walk from Leyton Station to the ground.

    Stratford International apparently is just under a mile and a half from the ground and over half an hour walk, or a walk/bus/walk option.

    I’m parking at Epping, 8 stops on the central line to Leyton, takes half hour. Buzzing for this one!

    Looking forward to this one too. Going down Friday afternoon and back Sunday. Let's hope City don't spoil a good weekend away

    With regards to Gillingham game - KO of quarter final will be 7pm on Dec 10th, assuming of course we beat Senegal. A weekend in Gillingham may actually be on the cards after all lol

    Gillingham away moved back a day to the Sunday at 1pm as their FA Cup replay is on the Thursday.

    Good move if you haven't already arranged travel for the Saturday.

    The opening post was to warn against booking non flexible travel as there was always the risk of both Orient and Gills games being moved.

    This isn't anything to do with the World Cup, this is so they can be on TV for the FA Cup.

    I seem to remember we were forced to play Saturday/Monday to have a TV spot in the FA Cup not so long since.

    This rules out getting back in time for the England game for any fans attempting a day trip.

    It will be a huge push to get back and sorted within 4 hours.

    Surely a 12 noon kick off would have been better for travelling fans.

    That was down to the Tuesday being a Champions League day and at that point UEFA banned any top league/cup matches being on TV at the same time. Only other option we would have had was to move the notts County game to the Friday night then play Saturday, Tuesday, Friday, Monday.

    I'm certain that this rule seems to be applied and ignored at a whim.
    I remember last season questioning why a premier league game was on the TV on the same night as European fixtures.

    For example Everton beat Newcastle 1-0 in a fixture on the TV where the just stop oil guy attached himself to the post on the same night as the Europa League fixtures where West Ham beat Seville.

    I'm almost certain that Arsenal played Liverpool on TV the day before whilst Chelsea were in the CL.

    Near on Impossible. The only two trains that would get you to Gillingham in time for a noon kick off are the 6.30am from Forster Sq (£70 each way) or the 7.09am from The Interchange (£100 plus each way). To drive, you would have to set off at 6.15am and not stop. Coming back, even with a Noon kick off would mean you are likely to miss some of the match.
