Griffo Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Hopefully most of the idiots that went to Liverpool won't be at this one.
Colinjb Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Hope these don't sell out too quickly, been looking forward to this one.
Sour Mash Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Hope these don't sell out too quickly, been looking forward to this one. Very unlikely it'll sell out full stop. Agree re the OP, excellent pricing, no complaints on that.
oldsarum Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 If you travel from London to Stoke using London Midland Trains (not Virgin) you can get Group 4 tickets works out £68 for 4 (£17 each), kids under 15 -£1 each http://tickets.londonmidland.com/ Journey up from London takes just over 2 hours, a bit longer coming back, but you can get these tickets on the day if necessary
Orange Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Will gamble on these making it to general sale, but what with Fulham just before i'm sure they will.
JRM Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 we'll probably only take 1500 up there , fulham 3 days before Arsenal at home just after. no glamour and £25 tickets perfect.
This Charming Man Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Surely these will sell out straight away like Liverpool. After all, it's closer and cheaper...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 people told me Liverpool defo wouldnt sell out
pingwing Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 What a great day out that will be! Haven't been since 2007 and a 25 quid a pop it would be rude not too! London midland are doing loads of cheap trains up there, £12.90 return from MK and not much more from London.
Appy Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 The people on here saying it won't sell out are the same people who said Liverpool wouldn't sell out.
ericb Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Looking forward to this one, £25 is a decent price too, should be a good day out
Sour Mash Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 The people on here saying it won't sell out are the same people who said Liverpool wouldn't sell out. We won't sell out at Stoke.
View From The Top Posted 3 December, 2012 Author Posted 3 December, 2012 Since it doesn't appeal to the happy clappy brigade it should prove to be a decent day out. It's also my closest game of the season! Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk 2
The Cat Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Having missed Liverpool and taking one for the family on Boxing Day I'm very much looking forward to this.
trousers Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Thinking about taking Trousers Jnr to this one. Just looking at the walking distance between Stoke station and the Britannia stadium - looks like a 2 mile hike alongside a canal. So a c.30 - 40 min walk...?

So a c.30 - 40 min walk...? there are special buses from near the station to and from the ground, if you don't fancy the walk

It's a fair hike alright and parking is a ba*tard near the ground.
trousers Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 there are special buses from near the station to and from the ground, if you don't fancy the walk Cheers - I bet that involves a bit of a bun fight after the game? Are they free or does one buy a return ticket at the station? Thanks again.
The Cat Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Cheers - I bet that involves a bit of a bun fight after the game? Are they free or does one buy a return ticket at the station? Thanks again. You have to pay a few quid return. I believe you can park in the Harvester near the ground for a fee. Away fans can go in but last time I was there a few choice locals were trying to kick off with the Saints fans. There is street parking but it'll be at least 20 minutes walk.

trousers Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Thanks for the advice chaps. Just checked train fares - £111 for me and the boy....ouch...
Sour Mash Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Thanks for the advice chaps. Just checked train fares - £111 for me and the boy....ouch... You can do it cheaper than that if you're happy to take the London Midland service.
trousers Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 You can do it cheaper than that if you're happy to take the London Midland service. Ah, ok - I assumed that thetrainline.com would offer me cheapest tickets but it would seem not...
Mattio Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 I wanted to go to this but I'm out of the country - shame
Sour Mash Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Ah, ok - I assumed that thetrainline.com would offer me cheapest tickets but it would seem not... See Old Sarum's posts above. Looks like you can do it for about £26 return from London still.
trousers Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 See Old Sarum's posts above. Looks like you can do it for about £26 return from London still. Just tried the midland trains website - they're saying £111 too (includes journey from Farnborough mind you).
View From The Top Posted 3 December, 2012 Author Posted 3 December, 2012 Just tried the midland trains website - they're saying £111 too (includes journey from Farnborough mind you). No it as two journeys. Farnborough - London, London - 1970s. The 2nd journey is cheap with London Midland was we do it for London game and usually pay around £17 with a family railcard.
Sour Mash Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Just tried the midland trains website - they're saying £111 too (includes journey from Farnborough mind you). I thought you commuted into London and would already have a ticket to cover travelling into London? If not, as VFTT says, try breaking the journey into two.
stockbridge_saint Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 We didn't sell out going to WBA and tickets were cheaper and it was closer. That was 5 hours driving for me to see a very poor game and I don't think us playing away at Stoke will be any more glamorous. They've got to be the most boring side in the Prem by a mile. I'm sure this will make general sale especially with so many games over christmas

The9 Posted 3 December, 2012 Posted 3 December, 2012 Went up there and saw Stoke v Brighton in the FA Cup a couple of years ago when our match at Rochdale was called off when we were already in the midlands. Wasn't at all impressed with the hoops my disabled mate had to jump through (figuratively) to be able to park near their ground and get a ticket half way around the ground, so won't be giving them any more of my money. Plus I've already been there now, haven't I ? Maybe I should have a look to see if Rochdale are home ?
