Not if I secure a ticket for my Father in Law. I will take the discount and he can pay full price.
At the other extreme Arsenal price seniors at £16.50.

They did, and I'm not spending it
You mean half the price, maybe
My son done it by coach last season. Apparently it takes a long and very frustrating time to get on the motorway. I believe they had watched at least the first half of the 5.30 game before they had got moving. Think all told it was about four and a half hours.

Four and a half hours is a good shout ... especially as there's usually a motorway services stop for 45/50 minutes on way back home.
Starting to plan our trip to Villa, previously have driven but as has been said, getting away afterwards took a long time, stationary traffic for well over an hour has put me off plus I fancy a beer this time, so giving serious consideration to letting the train take the strain… not a strike day so that’s one tick.
Travelling up from Lewes it appears that Victoria, Euston and Birmingham New Street seems to be the way to go and then either Wilton or Aston… have I got that right?
Last question, is Trainline the best/cheapest way to book tickets, or am I better going to the station and see the ticket office? Looking via Trainline for one adult and two children, they are quoting c£185 for the three of us return tickets… Was expecting a bit cheaper than that and wondered if there are better booking options… any help appreciated. Cheers.

Generally speaking, booking earlier is cheaper but if you're getting an off peak return it should be the same price on the day. Some train companies do a 'Group Save 3 for 2', which works out cheaper buying 3 adult tickets as you only pay for 2. Only condition is you all have to travel together, but you will be doing so. Not sure if Avanti do that though, SouthEastern do I know. Trainline would factor that in if they do, or at least give you the option do take the offer.
I'm getting the train to New Street & then Wilton.

Do Witton beforehand but Aston afterwards. It's a longer walk but there are more trains and the queue at Witton afterwards can be horrendous.

Train Split or Train Pal are worth looking at to compare prices

Pre-match. Is the away pub (Witton Arms) open again. It seems not via the internet. In which case is there a nearby away pub. In upper tier which is dry, boooo.
