Who's got the earliest start for organised travel on Saturday morning?

We are leaving Thornton Cleveleys ( near Blackpool) at 5.15 am with Omega Travel. It's one of the pitfalls of being picked up less than a mile from where we live - which is, of course, a big advantage.

You're obviously in the executive class who can afford several nights accommodation in the capital.....!

Only Saturday night for us, I'm afraid!

Good offer. We're stopping in Premier Inn at Wigan Friday to be picked up by big Mikes coaches at 6-30 then stopping Saturday night too so we can celebrate in town Saturday night. Better than celebrating in the town where we live...Warrington

Certainly would have been rude - sounds like a very good bargain!

Im travelling on a coach sat booked with the club but not sure where pick up point is just no it leaves@7 any help? Cheers

I am booked on one of the overnight stay packages,6-45 am start and down to the Raddison Heathrow Hotel,then to the match. Sunday morning dropped off in London,4-00pm back to Wigan.
Only thing that frightens me is the prices in the Raddison,£3-80 a pint and MIN of £6/7 pounds for a short,the food in the hotel is on the same lines.
One consolation,there is a Mcdonalds next door.

But I am not bothered,I am taking two weeks pension money with me.
O/T It was great news today when it was announced that Hanson was not guilty,he is one of those unsung heros that every team needs,a work horse and comes across as a genuine nice guy.
When they announce the players before the match he deserves an extra special cheer when they peel off.

Take plenty of cans with you and a bottle of Vodka/Whisky/Gin and let the good times roll
