Should be ok as long as you’re on your toes. It’s about a mile and a half. Took me about 30 mins when I walked back to the station after a gig there.

Thanks. So leaving dead on final whistle and really pushing the pace we should be ok. Looks like one main road so makes it easier.

Ask the Swansea fans to "do the Ayatollah" . That'll ensure you a very quick getaway!
Straight line down the Neath Road.
Updated parking info from Swansea for Saturday's match. Note that non-booked parking at the Landore car park mentioned in an earlier post is "limited", which leaves the two park and ride options, if it's full

A word of warning - allow extra time for the hugely congested roads once you leave the M4:
Then don't get fleeced by exorbitant parking charges.

Just looked up the departure time. It's around 4 hours journey (coach not car), allow 1 hour stop so 5 hours. Allow another hour for hold up so a journey time of 6 hours max. Police advice arrive one hour before KO.
We leave Amex at 7:30 am. CRAZY TIME. 7.5 hours for a 3.5 hour journey!

No worries. A brisk pace will comfortably do it. One bit of sage advice - if you Google map it and it gives you the option to shave a few mins off by what looks like walking under the railway nearish the station, DON'T!!! It's some alleyway that, although open, is pitch black and cobbled. Not pleasant. As has been said, stick to the Neath Road and the job's a good 'un.
Last time I went to Swansea Away it took about seven hours. Hope that helps.

Oh joy, yes I feel so much better, thank you.
My mate suggested I don't go and give him my ticket, I rejected this on two counts, Mr Barber would have me publicly flogged and why wouldn't I want to see us get three very necessary points?

One other, minor point, I forgot to mention is the Saturday after she returns from her epic trek I'm off to United away ..... I have to say even by my usual poor timing standards I haven't organised this very well!
Re-arrange this well known saying Timbo to reveal your current predicament: 'shit, in, You're deep'.

I think you will find that this is clearly her fault. Fixtures have been out since June. How inconsiderate of her! This would be my tack, but I have been divorced twice so may not be the best person to take advice from...
I’ve had a change of plan....suggested her indoors tags along, I can park in the hotel, she’ll have a day shopping, nice meal in the evening and then we’re staying overnight and a hopefully more leisurely drive back Sunday morning.

Coaches are supposed to be limited to 60mph (fairly sure my coach back from Norwich was going faster though) so will always be much slower on a long run then a car driver who can drive at 80mph on the motorways. ST always plan to get to the ground early so you can have a look around, grab a pint or two but it also acts as a buffer in case of delays.
Long time since I went to Swansea by coach but remember that in days gone by they would hold the coaches outside the city and only let them in at a specific time.

How right you are, I wonder if I can claim compensation?

This was my plan too, but to no avail, instead I've had to book a swanky Spa job for the Sun & Mon night!
But see my earlier post - latest info is that Landore parking is very limited unless you've got a seasonal booking, so suggest you get there early
