    Morning all,

    Does anyone know if the club are doing official coaches to Carlisle on Saturday or are there any independent ones with spaces for a 17 and a 16 year old?

    They can get the tickets as they've enough points but I can't make it and don't want the eldest driving up. They are both fairly sensible lads but It's a long way and with a possibility of trouble I'd prefer them to go on the coaches.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I can't vouch for Bingley Bantams but I have decided to use them for Saturday. £20 each seems fair, clearly if there were 4+ going a car would be cheaper but for 2, it's a straight offset for petrol/diesel and parking without the hassle.

    The train from Shipley to Carlisle will be a beer bath and I bet it's full already.

    I have ordered 2 places off their website and left my details with them, I chose the pickup point (either VP or Wetherspoon Bingley) and I have an e-mailed receipt if that helps. I'm new to this too as I usually drive.

    Cheers. I'll get booked on then, I'm sure it's fairly straight forward.

    I've used Bingley Bantams a few times and it's very easy. Book the tickets on their website picking your pick up point and you'll get order confirmation then later in the day you'll get a shipping notification which is basically them confirming they've recieved your order. On the day just turn up and just give your name in and they'll tick you off.

    Also factor in that ASLEF members are not offering any overtime between 15th-20th May, which could result in train cancellations.

    My train over yesterday from Manchester was cancelled and the next one was absolutely rammed.

    The open day return allows for this, 2 x singles looks best for the 8.15/30 train I think it is.

    I think the penalties will be at the ground, not on the train

    Chapman could definitely hit the station from Brunton Park.

    *Cue, which one? Forster Square* jokes!

    I’ve just booked onto the Bingley Bantams, £40 for the 2 of us which is very reasonable. Very easy to book on the link Dave posted earlier, and all confirmed quickly on email. Will leave car near VP. First pickup too so better for seat choices lol

    Was gonna drive, but if the result goes our way and the dick heads come out to play, no point risking it as we like to wear our colours
