Gasty bcfc Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I am trying to find the cheapest way of getting to newcastle, does anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawno Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 well it aint gonna be by plane, looking at 200quid. looking at over 100 on train as well. £40quid on cats seems to be cheapest if you can put up with the 7-8 odd hours on a coach. might just have to fork out for a train. mind you, i heard about this new fad the other day called 'jogging'. apparently a type of light running. might give it a go. if i leave now i might make newcastle in time for second half.

DavidNoble Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 In all this how do you think the team are getting there? Flying up on the saturday? One massive coach journey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dazzler Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 In all this how do you think the team are getting there? Flying up on the saturday? One massive coach journey? As far as I am aware the team charter their own plane for this kind of trip (previous trips to Norwich and Boro being examples) on the Thursday or Friday. One hour on a plane is much better preparation for a game than 6 or 7 hours on a coach. There was talk of the club chartering a plane for fans, or trying to get Easyjet to put on extra flights (at a fixed price not £200 a seat!), presumably this could still happen if there was enough interest.

I was offered a package of flying up with the squad, overnight accommodation, hospitality at the ground, then flying back again. Only problem was the £400 odd (plus VAT)... which would have been double that when my missus found out and would wanna come too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
