Caught 18:25 out of Cardiff, Brighton at 22:53 !
Had to stand to Reading but had plenty of tinnies.

Left the yellow car park shortly after 6 and crawled along the M4 until junction 28, where we nipped through the centre of Newport and on upwards to Monmouth. Dropped the kids at the campsite near Symonds Yat at about 9 (it had taken less than an hour in the opposite direction) and got back on the road as soon as possible, stopping for some food at Membury and finally arriving home about 12.30.

We had a right result getting back....
Returned back to Green Car park at 18.40 after grabbing a bite to eat, and preceeded to change flat front tyre that we limped down on....
Left at 19.00 and quickly got snarled up on the road parallel to the dock basin. I ducked off under the bridge to East Cardiff and did quite well for 10 mins before reaching another queue.
Step forward a kind old Welsh boy who shouts out to follow him on a shortcut while pulling a U'ey in the middle of the road. Me and several other Albion follow him (he even waited at one point when he lost us as he jumped a set of lights) and voila - 10 mins later and he's bought us out at J28...saving us bags of time!
A quick crawl over the bridge and we're flying - Haywards Heath by 22.00 to drop a mate off and me and the lad in for 22.30 at Littlehampton.
Jobs a good un!!

6 hours after full time, I was only 40 miles away from Cardiff. Made it in at 1.30, fell asleep in front of SS news in stripes and face paint, woke up when the Argus fell through the letter box.

Left Cardiff at 6.00pm and was drinking champagne in my local on Shoreham Beach at 10.00pm and we stopped twice on the way back!?! Result! 
Stayed in town afterwards. Hotel directly opposite a major Bristol City pub. Had to say City were in a very bad way and being quite abusive, considering my kids are 13 and 16 it was a little uncalled for. (Kids just laughed at them) This particular element were being watched by a significant number of police, who were very effecive, and soon had them tidied up.
Celebratory night in local restaurant, (full of very attractive local talent.) Staggered 20 yards back to hotel afterwards. Straight forward rail journey home Monday until we hit Southern, when the usual chaos ensued. Total travel time 4 hours 30 mins.
The greatest day ever?

Took about 2 and three quarter hours to get over the bridge and 6 hours in total. No worries though, it was a great day.

We drove and was back in the Witch in Lindfield at 8.45 !
Timed it perfectly after watching the boys parade the trophy. Had the perfect spot in the car park and was out before anyone else !
Superb

My girlfriend and I were heading back to Abergavenny after the game, on the train that heads through Newport up to Pontypool and Cwbran. We had to get into the "Newport Only" queue with the knowledge that the ONLY train for Abergavenny was leaving at 18:15, via Newport.
The queue didnt move until about half past, so she was getting well and truely pissed off with standing around. The next train to Abergavenny wasn't until 20:15, so we just ended up going to Newport and sitting in the Pizza Hut there with a few other Albion fans, and finally got back to our camp site about 21:15 to find that it had partially collapsed.
Great day walking after that though. About 15-20kms in total, and got to the top of Skirrid Hill, only to find a kiddie wearing an Albion shirt up there. Marvellous.
