That's what you said this season. :lol:

Nice day was it in Derbyshire/Tamworth/Derbyshire yesterday ? :lol:


An update Andy to the driving/parking arrangements to get to Meredith Road :

Carry on along Outland Road and under the footbridge over the road. Signal left and take the filter lane which ends at traffic lights. While stationary at the lights, the Home Park car park is to your left. Now signal right and rejoin Outland Road and come back along it and turn first left in to Meredith Road.

For full details google street view. :-D

After the Peverell Park Road junction you will notice Beauchamp Road (which is no entry) on your right with Ladbrokes on the corner. While in the outside lane you will go past first Onslow Road and Belair Road (together with Beauchamp, all are on your right) until your reach Meredith Road (again on your right).

Meredith Road is the road you need to take. Begin you mirror/signal/manoeuvre directly after the Peverell Park Road junction. If there is nowhere to park in Meredith Road, you can do a right/right in Elpinstone Road and come back down Belair/Onslow Road to see if there are spaces there.

I've never had a problem parking in Meredith Road, only time is when I get there less than an hour before kickoff. To be sure, get parked up 1.30pm for the 3.00pm kickoff.

Update : never went on the train as a designated driver was found.
The only thing that's changed to the requirements to access Meredith Road, is a banning order preventing a right turn across the carriageway. Meredith road has no "resident only parking" so was able to park up no problem - first space close to the Outland Road junction - enabling a quick getaway after the match. Got back to the Union in Plainmoor at 17:55. :-D


Save this thread Andy as you will need it for next season (that is if Torquay don't get promoted and/or Argyle don't get relegated). ;-)

Don't worry Andy, Plod know the train time and will be strategically placed along the route.

You're welcome Andy.

The train is a definite maybe at the moment as opposed to a definite certainty.

My brother (he supports dirty Leeds as his second side) and I have Yorkshire blood in us (on our mother's side) so you'll be in good company on the railway station route, especially on the way back. ;-) :nod:

A chav with a knife is no contest against a practitioner who can avoid, seize, disarm, take control of the weapon and make them fall on it without it leaving their possession and without the practitioner's fingerprints on it. ;-)

As yet though, I am unable to outrun a bullet. :(

Best then to keep selecting friends of good character and to avoid places known for their dubious reputation. ;-) :nod:

Its ok to pine for things you've been used to growing up in another country, thats natural but if i went to a restaurant in Finland say i wouldn't ask if they had any Budweiser and Fish & Chips, i'd get one of the local beers and eat some of the local food otherwise you may as well join thousands of other Brits who do exactly the same thing in Benidorm but most of them don't even know where Finland is so thats why they go to Spain. Abroad is Spain. :-/

Not what most immigrants to this country do and live in expat communities and open up shops selling wares from their country of origin. Whats ther point? The reason why i would have chosen to leave a country to go to another one is for a better life as i am p****d off with the life my country of birth/upbringing has given me so why would one wish to live near people of like kind and eat/drink stuff from back home? Doesn't make any sense to me either Happy. Anyway, sorry for that tangent everybody and cheers for the info Troj.
There are quite a few 'British' shops here, weirdly. I was extremely pissed off when I bought a steak and kidney pie and a cornish pasty, only to discover later on that they were made in Chicago. Sometimes I get a hankering for Ribena, which helpfully they sell in the supermarkets. (it costs about £7 for a bottle of the cordial, though).

Off topic, but I dunno if I'd agree with this. People move countries for all sort of reasons - you could argue that Arnie should be commended for contributing to the running of the country (rather than just taking a passport and keeping quiet). Of course, you can argue about how much he did for California but at least he gave it a go.

Is the car park at the ground the park & ride? How long after the match will it take to get out of the car park? Is the walk from the train station walkable and safe?

Car Park I haven't done for years, as the last time I was there it took me an hour to get out and another half hour before I was on the A38 heading home.

The walk from the station is 20 - 30 minutes tops and all up hill except for the walk down to Pennycomequick Roundabout.

Exit from the station and turn right down the hill to Pennycomequick Roundabout. Turn right at the roundabout into Central Park Avenue then first left up Wake Street. At the top of Wake Street walk onto Central Park itself. Carry on up the grassy bank until you meet the tarmac path then bare right. The path takes you directly to Home Park.

On the way back, run like the wind and you can be back at the station in less than 15 minutes.

As for safe, do you mean safe from tumbling down the grassy slope on the run back, or safe from the Central Park Element waiting in ambush ?

If you run down that grassy bank when it's wet then you will certainly go arse over elbow. As for the CPE, I've never been a member, and in any case, I've always had my Garg colours on. :Oops: :rofl: ;-)

Yeah, he'd have to be an american citizen to run for public office. That worked out brilliantly.
