ladysaint Posted 3 September, 2009 Share Posted 3 September, 2009 Looking at the cost of of tickets it seems we have the covered side terrace unless they have put the prices up for our visit. If anyone finds anymore cheap train deals they can let me know as have 3 more people who want to make the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffo Posted 6 September, 2009 Share Posted 6 September, 2009 The side stand is seated, behind the goal is terraced. I doubt we will sell out the seating on the side. Only when you sell out the seating on the side do you get the open terracing behind the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemel Saint Posted 7 September, 2009 Share Posted 7 September, 2009 Saw this web site on the Echo, for away trips. It lists the away-friendly pubs, stations, ground location etc. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/fixtures/awaymatches/ Not a bad effort. The away pubs recommended for Carlise on this site are: LAKELAND GATE BEEHIVE THE GRIFFIN anyone got any other ideas...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Strickland form London Saints may have one spare cheapish return ticket from Euston to Carlisle going on 9.30 arriving 12.45, return 17.52 Euston 21.47 His contact details are on London Saints website contacts section try him on Home Telephone number, email address is incorrect so don't use that http://www.londonsaints.com/moxie/19/lssc-contacts.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stkev7 Posted 12 September, 2009 Share Posted 12 September, 2009 I hope the stewards aren't idiots there because most of us are going to be sh*tfaced by 3pm and might struggle to get in lol. As I'm coming from Milton Keynes I get in at 12pm but I've obviously had a shocker by booking on the 18:52 on the way back, think I could be Billy No-Mates for this. Oh well, will give me time to sleep off the booze before resuming when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted 12 September, 2009 Share Posted 12 September, 2009 A mate is having a birthday do on the Friday night which is going to be a all nighter, so will have to go straight from there.

saints_is_the_south Posted 14 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 14 September, 2009 Now getting the 5.10 greyhound coach service from Southampton to London Victoria for £1 & then the train back which when booked on advance fare to Brock costs £5.80 with a rail card. Having already got advance fare tickets from Euston to Carlisle for £18, the total cost of Southampton to Carlisle return has come to £26. Maximum w00tage!

didulike1t Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 I'm planning on driving it from Coventry. If anyone fancies taking the spare seats and subbing a bit for petrol.... Hi Colin Me and my mate (38ys & 42yrs) are deffinatlely going to the game and have been tossing around the best way of getting there for a while now. If you are still with empty vehicle then i would be very interested in getting a lift with you (we will obviouasly pay for your fuel etc) please could you give me a bell on 07967589371 to discuss? We will be travell;ing from Southampton so if you are still going i guess i would be asking for you to pick us up from Coventry train station and then going from there, so i would need to know what time you would need us to be at Coventry station by in time to get to a boozer for a leomonade before the game ) Up The Saints!
