General Chat

Only 2 carriages both ways Von!
I had a horrendous experience on the way there. Had a real fright and didn't recover that well. And the way back too for different reasons. We couldn't get on that train.

It was about £32 for the 2 of us return. I thought it would be the answer as the station is right by the stadium. BIG MISTAKE!

We had torrential rain going down to Wales on Friday. I was shocked at the amount of spray off the lorries. Wipers going twenty to the dozen :-0 :-0

Crumbs **Ann** must be bad then :-( :-( :-(

Disgusting Jem....but Idid wonder if you were doing the right thing relying onthe train service....their reputation is not good especially in Wales

:-0 :-0 :-0

You'd have thought they would have put on extra trains wouldn't you :-| :-| :-|
Not like it came as as surprise :-0 :-0 :-0

Just had a news flash on me phone Von :-0 :-0 :-0

It couldn't be any worse that the hundreds of people with both match and train tickets that could not get on the train! :-0 :-0

Is it bad **Ann**. I haven't looked that far ahead :-0 :-0

That would be an idea Ann but it would have to be a day before and the day after the match.

I met a lovely girl sitting next to me at the stadium. She helped me display the flag cos it was interfering with OH's pint! :-0

She came on a coach from a nearby village. Door to door. And it was cheaper!
If I ever think of going again I shall make enquiries with the coach company. It is a local one

Hells bells if the weather predictions are correct...there will be cancellations onthe ferries
:-0 :-0 :-0

You'd need to book very early to get a room in Cardiff on a match day ;-) ;-) ;-)

You need a network of friends and rellies in each of the towns/ cities that they play in! :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D@Von

Jem...either that or book a room and come back next day :-D :-D

Jem - is there a bus that goes from your town? Loads of coaches there :-D :-D ;-)

No **Ann** ;-) ;-)
Although I do have friends in Dublin :-D :-D

All I can say is NEVER AGAIN! Not unless I go on a designated coach :-0 :-0 :-0
