Lizzie line you need

Or slow line from Waterloo is much cheaper too

 

[nick logan]

Am I missing something or is it really £53 return for the fast train from Paddington?

Feck that…

You are missing something , it’s £ 19.55 return with a network card Padd-Reading return or 24 for the one that takes 28 mins

 

[WarrenBee]

Farnborough North or Sunningdale both direct to Reading.

 

[taxi driver]

£8:65 each for us from Guildford with a two together Railcard

This game is defo one we can cycle too and from. Kennet and Avon canal links to the Thames path.

Surely a little bit sketchy on the way home. I recall some loon wanted to cycle to the Grimsby game from a hotel on the outskirts… would have meant riding on duel carriage ways. Thankfully commmon sense prevailed and a taxi was taken.

Not with a Freedom Card

I'll be on the train, just leading people towards the useful info. There is a warning about a 45 min waiting, might be less for such a low key game against a little club....Or as said above the fire drill might have started by 9:15

Someone in the other thread said opportunist parking on industrial estates etc. can get you clamped, sounds a bit risky to me but up to the individual. Maybe there is plenty of off street and on street parking. Good luck.

Irrelevant observation. The club car park is £12 a game. If you commit to a whole season (23 games) it's £276 which is £12 x 23 - what a great deal!

There are loads of places to park on the A33, most of the buildings will charge you a fee, but there are always loads

 

[mhead bee]

gives a walking time of 1hr 1 min and that looks like its along the very busy A33 !!!

They have pavements either side, you don't have to walk in the road.

You mean all those small car parks attached to industrial units? You just turn up, choose one and pay on the day?

Emery is indeed a good eraser, although, personally, prefer wire wool.

Damn fat fingers

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

Less than 2 weeks to go so would be nice if both clubs could agree on some tickets details ?

Yeah, probably needed to get the date sorted then takes a few days to discuss tickets. Any time now I suspect

Last time I pre booked one in just park, it was about a 20 min walk, but you don’t want to be parked any nearer than that. And to be fair, it’s only 2 junctions for me so 10-15 on the motorway

Parking anywhere that leaves you with an exit route on the 'new' A33 is madness – you need to find parking that allows an exit onto the 'old' A33, Basingstoke Road, that takes you directly to the M4 mess-about, even that's busy.

Yup, west on the M4, turn right at J11 (North) onto A33, go toward Reading, turn around and come back and make sure you are facing South on the A33 toward the M4. Park somewhere there. To be fair, I have driven through Reading to the next junction 10 to get on the M4 without too much drama.

 

[kenbee]

Be warned that the shuttle buses from Reading Station do not accept concessionary bus passes.so it will be £3 each way.

If you’re buying a train ticket do it to Reading green park (15mins walk to ground through paths) as it’s same price as to Reading….makes sense
