Getting there is not so fairly priced though as many have found out. And that's assuming the trains are running and they don't pick that day to strike.

When I first looked into going after Wakey won through to the semi-final, a return rail ticket Friday afternoon-Sunday could have been had for £42, now it's 3 times that price, I'm driving down Saturday morning, staying in Premier inn at Borehamwood Saturday night and driving back Sunday.

Driving down A1/M11 to avoid the mess they've made of the M1, staying in E London Friday - Sunday (near Jubilee Line...direct to Wembley Park).

Not sure if I'll bother with the warm up games or have a wander round London to walk off the nerves before the big match at 5:45

We will certainly give the women's game a miss and the CC Final if it's Shudds v HKR. Fingers crossed for a Wire v Wigan game.

I wont be watching the women's, will probably sample a few of the pubs near by for soe pre match atmosphere! Not sure about the CC final may go in at HT if its a good game depending on who is there and the score at HT!

Apparently the club were trying to find some more coaches for hire! I believe they had filled 15 Pity they can't hire a train like they used to do in the 50s and 60s.
