Howmanheyman 27639 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I don't get to as many away games as I used to, However am trying to change this, went to Cardiff earlier on in the season and as we left it a bit late, we had trouble sorting travel out, we tried the Back page but they were sold out and there didn't seem to be any 'toon travel' type of organised coaches about, the trains were about as much use as a windscreen wiper on a submarine and at the last minute we heard about a bus leaving from Washington who took us, which wasn't ideal but got us out of a hole. Now we're going to Forest and from what I've seen the trains don't seem to any good for coming back, I've heard the back page are 'dry buses' and haven't got in touch yet. I seem to recall seeing someone on here who sometimes organises coaches, so, anyone have an idea how to get to Nottingham? It would seem like the likes of Cardiff and Nottingham were on the far side of the moon! (Obviously the easy answer of drive down ourselves is out as the idea of going to the game minus a drink is not on, for us anyway.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 39194 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Depending on how many are in your group, have you considered a 7 seater taxi? Not as ridiculous as it first sounds. Get a fixed price, ok the beers, and when you split the fare it usually works out pretty reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a fixed price, ok the beers, and when you split the fare it usually works out pretty reasonable. Not a bad idea, however here's only the two of us going. If there was a few I'd probably sort something like this out myself, it's a bit annoying as there's sometimes a few in the club I get in who organise trips to aways but its a bit infrequent and sods law they're not doing anything for this game.

Howmanheyman 27639 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Toon Away are the company to try and Ugly Makems the man to contact. I couldn't think of the name! Cheers, PP. It looks like I was looking on the wrong website regarding the trains as national express will get you there and back with one change. Trouble is they're looking for £70 odd quid each which I thinks a bit much. It's a last resort, though. (I'll try toon-away first, back page second, rip-off-train, last.)
