Quickest way out tomorrow

[elninobonito]

Hi,

So tomorrow I am in a bit of a dilemma, I bought the wife tickets to see a show in London thinking one of her mates would go with her....no chance.

I am coming to the game and need to get to London sharpish, thing is, I have never left a game early in my life, no even West Ham away last year.

What, in your humble opinion, would be the best thing to do? I live in Crawley.

1, drive to moulscoombe, when game fginishes peg it to car and drive to cRawley to get train with Mrs to London.

2. Get train down tomorrow, after game get train from Falmer to Brighton then Brighton to victoria, meet mrs in London. (Would this option need me to leave the game early due to train queues?

I think my question is for those that go back to London after the game, how long does it take you to get on a train and into London?

Cheers all.

Stroll into the show in London during the interval, the 2nd half is usually better, as at the Amex

 

[Cheshire Cat]

You could always tell her there was extra time and not go

 

[Hiney]

We don't go back to London but.........

We have a pint after the game to avoid the mental queues and get the 17.47 from Falmer.

If you got that, you would be able to get the 18.19 to Victoria, arriving at 19.10

There are some things greater than football-theatre is not one of them!

But post-theatre sex is! OP you never said what time you need to get to London for?

Get absolutely bladdered and totally forget that you have to take the Mrs anywhere. She'll forgive you. Eventually.

sorry, show starts at the O2 at 8PM so need to be there before then. By the sounds of things ill have loads of time.

And NO, she wont forgive me, Ive just spent a grand on a new tv.

Leave at half time

Drive to the O2. Lots of nearby parking and less than an hour from Crawley.

You're an absolute lad! Ask yourself though, what would Balotelli do? That will provide the answers. I suspect that, in this case, he would ignore his missus and take a random lady to the show instead.

Flair.

Good luck.

Doing something similar.Going with Mrs SNG to the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm to see Steve Miller Band.She is making her own way to London.I live in East Preston and am driving to Haywards Heath to park at station then use free travel from there to Falmer.As soon as game finishes get train to Brighton for 5.34 or 5.38 to London Bridge,plenty of time to spare.Did the same after Donny game last year,even accounting for the extensive stoppage time ,I left on the whistle got 5.34 and met up with wife at O2 about 7.15 to see Iron Maiden.
