how on earth do you get there !! Thought it would be up to Lancaster and on from there, but trains looked useless, including the return trip quoted at 14 hours !!! lol

 

[rebus]

Yes, there must be engineering works so I'm aiming to get into Manchester for the Friday night for a direct train in the morning to Barrow. :crazy2:

I'm also rooting for them to win the replay given that it's a very doable game for me.

Only 50 minutes from here in morecambe.
If you come of at jct 35 carnforth on M6 then its A roads for 40ish miles to barrow.
From my house its only 10 miles as the crow flies but because of sea its 55miles!!!!!!!!

 

[RitchBee]

How about a good old fashioned special.....????

 

[chippendale]

Stay in Ulverston a great market town with fantastic pubs. Wouldn't stay in Barrow. Some very ropey people in that town.

I hope the is for reel (sic)

I don't see the need for the team to endure a overnight trip up north.

However, I see that the FA Cup has suddenly come alive in Northampton I wonder if the long trip to Eastbourne will be made or whether it will be back to disparaging comments about balloons and fancy dress etc. lol

Port Vale is still far more important.
They had a good win at Huddersfield but have lost loads at home this season, I didn't go to H&W as I wasn't invited, I would have bought a ticket at the Rochdale game but couldn't.
It's 2 hours to Eastbourne (normal home game time) or 4 to Barrow by the way. Barrow for me.

You can get to Eastborne in the same time it takes you to get to Brentford?

Have you moved to Croydon

[bees52 bomber]

Years ago it was a twelve hours up there on a dog of a coach, progress should make it quicker with better roads, if its eastbourne bucket and spade and french onion soup ????

 

[nick logan]

Anybody got any ideas how to do train to Barrow. Can't get there in time to get drunk and can't get back that night?? Can't do Friday as doing weekender for Accy. Anyone fancy doing a coach?

I was thinking the same, it has to be a coach that maybe picks up a few on the way to the M6.

 

[LinnersBee]

Port Vale?

The 4 of us might not be there but there will def be 2 of us i am going through the crazy period of going to every game i possibly can :bound::bound::bound:

Keep me in the loop re this Nick.

Thought train up was OK via Lancaster (early Glasgow train) but coming back via 5 changes and buses to Euston 2.08am arrival

[bees52 bomber]

Karsi on the coach and a few stops and who cares what time you get back.

Old fashioned leaving Brentford at midnight on the friday type coach.

I'm up for that and I'm sure I could a fair few interested at Junction 15A.

 

[bees52 bomber]

maybe lunchtime fri ,stop at some nort hern seaside resort for a couple of jarsand a game of bingo noticed one northerner being nosey allready welcome barrow afc l o l

 

[WarrenBee]

293 miles from West Byfleet to Barrow.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

So seriously folks.... If Barrow becomes a deffo why don't we try and get this arranged. We get the southernmost bod to arrange a coach that might leave at a healthy hour with a karsi and see how much and how many commit and how many stops are needed.

I reckon the bee nearest Northampton should organise it.

 

[Mads Bee]

Has it been announced that we are definately playing on the Saturday then?

Thanks for your input.

Can't get anything sorted until we know a) Who we are playing? and b) when?

 

[nick logan]

No just speculating at the moment. I reckon we will be live again.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

I hope so but Saturday 15.00 is a proper football time.

Just a though for you loyal, hard core, old skool supporters. Is there a inter-modal model of transport that could be utilised? e.g. train to Preston then coach and vice versa for the return trip?

Nope, that's an idea put forward by a modern fan who got into the game during Euro 96 and hasn't travelled much.

All possibilities will be explored. Including minibus taxi from Lancaster or Preston.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Who was that then

1)It's not a bad idea but I would suggest that relying on many trains from different directions arriving at a northern sh!thole and all within a reasonably appropriate timescale would make it a no no.

2)You.

 

[nick logan]

Can't get back same day from either Preston or Lancaster to Reading or Euston

 

[rebus]

Manchester to Barrow is okay but we would need to get there for 10.45 am. The way back is ropey so perhaps a stop over in Manchester on the Saturday?

 

[SpiderBee]

Can't see ITV doing us back to back.
Setanta Friday or Monday night!!!
How does that look re our superior rail network?
