Carlisle Roll-call

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Who's making the long treck (for most of us) tomorrow and what time are you getting up/leaving?

x2 here from Rudgwick, up at 04:00 and should be en-route by 04:45.

 

[Mr Banana]

May I just express my immense respect for anyone who goes tomorrow.

As much as anything else, the train to Carlisle takes so long it's hard to get there in a coherent state.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Aye, leaving Brighton at 0524.

 

[bhafc99]

Leaving around 12:30. Only takes 90 minutes.

 

[Mr Banana]

Aye, leaving Brighton at 0524.

How many of you are going? You people are mad heroes.

Although up until Tuesday Super Al was going to give me a lift, then announced that he's off to see Palace at Cardiff!

Only about 8 of us.

Going a bit of a round about route, but has only cost 14 pounds each way from London.

"Only about eight"

That is fuckin' superb. Fair play to you Piers. Nutbag.

Willhave to bow out this year for Carlisle. We are saving for trip to Aus at Xmas, need to watch the pennies a bit. Good luck to you all, and hats off to those going, and especially to those going to Hartlepool on Tuesday as well

[kevinsmith]

[The Merry Prankster]

Mrs M P and I are currently at Belfast's George Best Airport en route to Manchester and on to Carlisle. Predicting a BIG win.

 

[Wilka]

I'm driving up and was planning on leaving at 6. Are all the times above people getting the train or have I miss calculated the time it will take?!? Thankfully staying up there so don't have to face the journey straight home. Making a little trip of it and staying up until Hartlepool.

Depends what time you want to get to Carlisle. We are on the same train as Uncle Buck. We have to change at Leeds and get to Carlisle just after 12.15, so time for a beer or two or three before kick off. Back via Newcastle but as UB said it was pretty cheap going that route.

I dont have the holiday left from work or would have also stayed up North. Its a car for me on Tuesday then fly to Berlin Wednesday morning.

Just booked a half day for Shrewsbury. My leave card is looking too well used already (my leave goes from October to October)

3 from plymouth will be up there

 

[Mendoza]

How far will 1,300ish miles get you into Europe from Brighton as that is the approximate distance of going to Carlisle and back, then Hartlepool and back

Five of us in the car. Leaving Tunbridge Wells at 07:00 picking eldest and his girlfriend up from Kingston en route.

A couple of pints in the rugby club pre-match then off across the border for dinner at the in laws post match.

A leisurely drive back on Sunday after a cooked breakfast....
