Travel to the Manc Derby

Any supporters clubs down south use coaches to get to games and go past Bedford? If so how much etc? I usually drive but petrol is a killer these days, and train from Bedford to Manchester is close to 90 pound return! Any help appreciated cheers lads

There will be at least 3,000 coming from down there, so I'm sure you could get on a coach. Probably best if you don't wear blue though.

You get me a ticket for the game and I'll pick you from your place wherever in Bedford, Milton Keynes, or Northampton you are, will drive you up there, and will drive you back and drop you off. How's that?

If you book 2 singles rather than a return is a lot cheaper than that on thetrainline.com (48.95) but would be a hell of a journey with it being a Sunday as have to go via London (but you wouldn't need to use the tube despite what it says on there as St Pancras to Euston is only a short walk!)

So this was never about getting a lift as the title implies but was about supporter's clubs in and around Bedford. Brilliant. Thanks.

Ah sorry pal. It was more about trying to find supporters clubs doing coaches to the games. Can you not get there then? You got a ticket?
