    Hi everyone!

    Is anyone able to do me a massive favour and give me a lift down to Peterborough from Bradford please? I didn't book the train tickets properly and now they're up to £70. I was going to pay on the gate and so haven't booked any of the free travel. I can pay towards petrol and in pints (for the non-drivers!). DM me if you can help!

    Thanks

    Try going down to VP where all the coaches are setting off, although not sure what time. They will probably have a spare seat.

    Very bizarre if truth be told.

    1] How can you not book the train tickets properly?

    2] How have you only realised in the early hours that you’ve not booked the train and have no means of getting there?

    3] If you’d have bought the match ticket a few hours earlier (by 5pm) you’d have a free coach seat.

    You are wrong on three. My wife went to get tickets yesterday afternoon but they had stopped selling then at 12.00 o’clock. The free travel had sold out. My fault for not booking earlier but thats not what the OP is asking about.

    I’ll go but I have a Porsche Cayanne 4 litre. Petrol cost is £140 so that’s £70 if you wanna go?

    Good effort despite the free travel considering how we are performing and where we are in league. I was tempted, but not quite enough to take it up. If it had been closer, then I would.

    Why does everything have to be a mystery/conspiracy? The lad, for whatever reason, needs transport to an away game and is asking for help and willing to contribute to costs. Personally i admire his enthusiasm. Good luck to him.

    1) Didn't confirm it properly
    2) Noticed on the tab it didn't close properly
    3) Only got paid yesterday so didn't have time to do it before 5pm because I was working.

    Not everything is a conspiracy, grow up

    Sorry just thought they might have a few spare seats, but there is an offer of transport but might be a bit steep. However you will get there and back pdq;)

    I see your point. We'll open an inquiry and leave it there, no need for a full scale investigation.

    You'll save money, your hired.

    No it was a good shout! It would have been worth a shot. Managed to get a lift now though!
