League Cup Semi Final - Bradford City

[PeterWithesShin]

The bus from Redditch is for league games only so won't be running. Hopefully we will win in normal time but if it does go to pens, I think trains will run later for fans.

I doubt it very much.

Remember that League Cup game against the racists that was delayed (and good old cuddly Doug blamed us for it) and it was announced over the tannoy that there'd be no late trains back to Liverpool? They were fucked if it had gone to extra time. Sadly the bastards made it academic anyway.

That was one cold night that was.

Do what i used to on a regular basis. Get a taxi. I used to get one back to Kidderminster every home game after a few beers, 4 of us was a tenner each. Cannot be much more to where you are going, surely.

SOTC & I are thinking of getting a taxi. Not so that we can have a drink (although that might not be a bad idea) more because I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to driving in this weather!

I remember it well.

It's simply not possible to suddenly put on extra trains.  You need a driver,  a train manager and not  forgetting the stock, etc.

Dcf has just checked and the last train to Redditch is 1103 (there's one half an hour earlier as well) so no problem for anyone going back to Redditch even after extra time and penalties.

i remember sitting in the Trinity upper with empty seats all around me, the delayed KO, the seats filled up, game kicks off, we pull it back all square only for them to win it in the last minute and everyone around me went mental celebrating the goal. I didnt know Doug blamed us for the delay, it pissed me off that it seemed the KO was delayed to let Scousers in the home end

Do what i used to on a regular basis. Get a taxi. I used to get one back to Kidderminster every home game after a few beers, 4 of us was a tenner each. Cannot be much more to where you are going, surely.

I'm getting the train into Birmingham where I'll meet Jon and we'll taxi it to VP.  Few samplers in the Lions Club before the game and a taxi back home after.

I've never got a taxi hone from the game - are there plenty around?

Some of the biggest attendances ever at VP were when we were in old League Div 3. Some of those teams used to get 1000 at a home game, if they were lucky!

It will snow, heavily from kick off. You will be locked inside the ground for 3 days, celebrating a Villa win. You had better let the Mrs know now, as you will be drinking heavily and only eating Hot Dogs until you get home, Fridayish, should be good 8)UTV.

And straight to Millwall.

There are usually quite a few in Trinity Road.  We'll go back into the Lions Club as we have to wait for Tom to finish work.  Much easier to getaway then once the traffic has died down.

That would be like the superdome after hurricane Katrina.

Thanks Pauline. Might pay the Holte Suite a visit!

... you may need to move fast to get one. Alternatively, chill in the LC or Holte Suite / Pub for an hour.

Well I've just dug the Asics shirt out for tomorrow for the first time since the 94 final itself. What the fuck was I thinking back then? I am 5 foot 7 yet the shirt is an XL and I look like I've got Big Daddy's top on. I know i am slimmer now but I definitely haven't shrunk in height. Ridiculous.

[cheltenhamlion]

I need to work out how to get home as well. Depends what time the game finishes and when the last train back to Stourbridge is.
