Community Shield Travel

Postby Wonderwall » Fri Jul 18, 2014 9:28 am

How is everyone getting there?

In case you were not aware (although I am sure you are) there are no trains operating that weekend between Manchester and London!! Great timing, cheers Mr Branson.

I have looked at coaches and National Express specials are £37 return and you can get a megabus to Victoria Coach station in London for £13 return but that does have extra cost of Tube travel to Wembley.

Are there any spaces on the Supporters clubs coaches?

London Midland run trains from Crewe to London (slowly). maybe they're running that weeekend?
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

Cheers Alex, just checked and there is a 9.05 out of crewe that is actually slower than the national express coach. How is that even possible LOL
I think I will avoid that option :-)

I've decided to drive down. Seems the most sensible option
"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

I've booked mine on there. 10 minute walk to Wembley stadium, £5 for 5 hours parking. Can't go wrong
