Transport to Villa Park

Postby Invisible Man Fan » Wed Aug 08, 2012 4:44 pm

Just gone to check how much the trains are for getting down to Villa Park on Sunday and felt almost robbed.

£77 is a lot more than I was expecting. Anyone got any ideas for cheaper forms of transport down there barring the obvious piss takes???
"If we fire our manager after just one bad season - We'll become Chelsea"
"If we think we can fix the problem by buying expensive players - We'll become City"
"If we remember the good times to entertain us during the bad times - We'll become Liverpool"

So, keep calm and do it the United way

"We invest in young players, That is what we are good at — we’re not like other clubs who can spend fortunes on proven goods. We know that Manchester City are going to pay stupid money, pay silly salaries and all that. We can’t do anything about it. We concentrate on what we can do to try to bring players in for the right reasons. We invest in those who will be with the club for a long time, who will create the character of the club, who will create excitement for our fans. We are very proud of that and we are going to continue that way" - Alex Ferguson 14th May 2012

Paid 47 for my train from Preston.

Loads of people on BM seem to be on megabus though. I'm no fan of buses but i imagine you'd get a good bit of atmosphere on there and I've heard it's cheap as fuck.

There's a few coaches with space on being advertised on BM too.

On a similar note.... Where's the best place to drink? Any designated city pubs?

I paid £32.90 for a return train ticket a few weeks ago.

I booked through soccer express - not sure if there is any space but it was about £16.

you could join a supporters club, they usually run cheap coaches.
