Who had the worst journey to and from Oldham???

[Hans Kraay]

Well i bet you all can't beat mine!!!!!!!!!!! come on who's first for a crack

 

[elbowpatches]

Crawled up most of the A1 and had to do a ton for the length of the M62 to get there on time. (Only had to leave from Cambridge so already half way there I suppose but traffic jams get me riled)

 

[Hans Kraay]

My journey started at Norwich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Yorkie]

I'll keep quiet as I must have had the easiest.

 

[Safeway]

Cracking journey as it goes. Back home in Eastbourne at 22:15.

Getting there was alright (chose the M1 over the M42/M6), including a fantasticly picturesque drive through the Peak District, until we actually got to Oldham. Do they not have road signs?! I know most of the locals can't read but for the benefit of visitors a few signs wouldn't go a miss. Eventually got to the pub at 13:15. Grrr.

 

[Hans Kraay]

Here i am at the future inlaws on a friday night in bloody Norwich (well infact Croma a crappy seaside town only 19 miles from Norwich but a full 45min drive!!!!) Can i have the car tomorrow my wonderfull fiance asks me?? yes sure you can if you drop me off at norwich train station at 6.52 am? get a bloody taxi she says!!!!!!!!!!

 

[elbowpatches]

you should have got a lift with a load of Norwich fans who were travelling up north (Burnley I think) we passed loads on the A1.

 

[Hans Kraay]

The taxi arrives late i miss my train and get the 8.57 to manchester. Still possible to make the game on time i thought. Due to arrive at manchester at 2.25pm( p.s train full of norwich farmers on there way to blackpool. they still stink and there is no air con!!!!!!)

 

[Hans Kraay]

anyway to cut a long story short i arrived 15 mins late after running from the station to the ground ( six stone lighter now)
and the jouney home was just as bad, arrived at Euston at 11.40pm and missed the last tube to Redbridge!!!!!!!! finally got in at three am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Vicar!]

OK Really! until decided to get adventurous and stop off at Staylebridge and avail myself of the station bar. (Pie un' Pez fur £1.50 lad!)

Train to Victoria failed as did the bus from S'bridge station to the ground, so £13 for a mincab to get to the match on time.

Not learning the lesson decided to attempt the return bus journey, which again failed leaving me with a walk through Oldham glamourous suburbs.

Some boneheads around on the walk home! Singing BNF songs and standing outside some Asian houses making nazi salutes, with a group hanging around in support if needed.

Charming

Pleased to leave, but by the time I caught a connection, ex Wakefield, Palace had had the best of the beer in the buffet, so a dry trip home.

I say you should think carefully about this fiance thing mate !

If she's with-holding favours now, think about how things are gonna be once you're clamped in irons .

 

[El Presidente]

I hope she is now the ex-fiance

 

[Hans Kraay]
