Canary Wundaboy 1,180 Posted March 4, 2020 They’d have done well tbh. I only had to get to Waterloo and that was tight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,098 Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) On my Surbiton train - a lot later than it was meant to be but well worth it I guess the late train will not arrive in the Fine City until well after 2am, plenty of bleary eyed people at work tomorrow!!

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted March 5, 2020 Parked at Stratford. Didn't reach car until 00.10, then diversion at Thetford really didn't help in the staying focused dept, but finally got back at 3. Feel zombie like this morning, but don't have to worry about work today. Awesome 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 448 Posted March 5, 2020 Parked at Reading as the trains run there most of the night. Well prepared ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northluck C 9 Posted March 5, 2020 We queued for ages for a train at Northumberland Park, got back to the car at Redbridge at nearly midnight then had night closures of the M11 to contend with. Got home at 2.30. All worth it for a great result though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got home at 2.30. All worth it for a great result though. Same. We arrived at Seven Sisters (before the game - anyone else see Timm Klose trying to get a train also?) but the trains were packed, so decided to walk to ground. Afterwards went to Northumberland Park and queued like you Northluck. Have experienced similar when going to Twickenham, and fans just have to build that into their matchday 'experience', but it does make it a whole lot worse at 11.30 p.m when you have a long drive to contend with!!

Northluck C 9 Posted March 5, 2020 Yeah - of course I’m stating the obvious here with 20k extra people but it’s really noticeable how much slower it is getting away from the new stadium at Northumberland Park or WHL than the old ground. Superb stadium though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northern Canary 8 Posted March 5, 2020 Parked near to ground, so had to wait until roads reopened and then with M11 and A64 closures didn’t get home to Scarborough until 5.20am. Worth every minute to watch us dominate and finally get our just rewards from a game and to visit a ground as I couldn’t get to the League game a few weeks ago that was hugely impressive. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,100 Posted March 5, 2020 Fantastic support, well done guys. On the TV you could clearly hear the City fans at many points in the game, which is brilliant even with 9,000, the total attendance was something like 58,000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Juler 119 Posted March 5, 2020 We walked the mile and a half to Tottenham Hale station and only had to queue for about 5 minutes to get on the Victoria Line. I was back at Marylebone station with plenty of time to make my last quick train home to High Wycombe at 00:01. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually don’t know if it still is as I haven’t bought or played PES in years?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mutley 36 Posted March 5, 2020 We had an eventful journey back. Massive queues at Northumberland Park. Then a train broke down at Stratford resulting in a long wait to get a train to Brentwood. And then into the car and onto the A12 (I live near a couple of smaller teams, COLCHESTER and IPSWICH) and the road was closed at COLCHESTER so long diversion. It must have been a night for road closures reading the other post, and we finally arrived home at 2am. Thoroughly worth it!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
