I'm struggling for this game too! Train fares (Leeds to Oxford) return was £40 when I looked a few days ago which I wasn't too concerned in paying but went to book one tonight and they have gone up to 60 odd quid which I don't think I can afford :( booo was looking forward to this game

[quote="EmetEdadsBeard"]Have you messaged me matey? Cos if you have i haven't received it. Yorkgull has offered to drop me off so I'm gonna ring him just to confirm over the weekend. If its who i think it is we used to stand together as we had a mutual friend many moons ago who has left for distant shores. :nod:

DERRR its not on here :Oops:[/quote]


On Facebook mate. The clue was in "messaged Emet on Facebook" :)

[quote="bixieupnorth"]if shes into shopping, drop her at the bicester outlet and pick her up afterwards, problem solved but it would prob end up costing you a lot more than the train home??!![/quote]


What about Emets dog? Poor bugger. Emet could always tether him up for 90 minutes outside the away end at the Kassam and give him'her a hot dog and a quick walk & tiddle at half time. :clap:

Glad you got sorted with the lift Emet. I was going to PM you as i will probably be going to Oxford but if the game had been on a saturday then i could have taken you back to Scawsby as i usually go to me mums on saturday night so i could have drove straight back to Donny. As it is i'll be stopping at Chez Vegas ( or Chesterfield to the youth ) so won't be going as far as Donny but could possibly drop you at Chesterfield station if it all goes t*ts up.

Just got in from work and emailed yorkgull, messaged Emet on Facebook and low and behold it's all too late. All's well that ends well ;-)

Phew!! That's better than sharing a car with a bunch of Tyke Oxf&ckers!!!

[quote="yorkgull"]Emet - can you PM me as I don't seem to able to PM you and I'll respond - suffice to say I'll be driving past Donny on the way home on Monday so will able to drop you off.[/quote]

PM'd you thanks :)

Try the Oxford forum. As a local, I know there is a contingent from Halifax that travel down to the Kassam.

Over 5 hours from Oxford to Sheffield? And its National EXPRESS! Does it go via Carlisle? How slow are the ordinary buses? :-| I could probably hitch it back quicker. :-D
Can't see me on a bus for 5 hours after a couple of beers, and the train fare is a joke (it is YORKSHIRE I'm heading back to! :bow: ).
Thanks for info 'Scorer, but if no lift is forthcoming I'll be giving it a miss I'm afraid despite having looked forward to this one :'( :'( :'(

Yep, public transport is not good.

Train is £51.50, depart Oxford 17.36 or 18.36. One change to Sheffield, approx 3-hour journey. But who would want to pay that much? There's a National Express coach Oxford (dep.17.10) to Sheffield (arr.22.25) for £24.20.

Maybe to other S. Yorks. destinations too. Book in advance of course. A lift is better if possible!

I can't help, but can I request that this leads to a rant in the 'angry' thread about how useless public transport is, please.

Matt.

Hiya peeps. I need help (yes Dave, I know.....). :-o

Mrs Beard, myself and the dog are in sunny Devon for the weekend and I will be at Plainmoor for the Accrington match. I originally planned for Mrs Beard to drive me to Oxford (en route back to Yorkshire) where I would meet the 'Tache and we would drive home together, however......
The 'tache has just got a job in Dublin, and he and his colleagues who are going out to set up a new office for the firm he works for are flying out there on Monday now, so the plans have gone belly up. :(

I need a lift back 'oop north' from Oxford after the game if anyone has a space in a car (bit of petrol money thrown in of course). Anywhere in South Yorkshire will do. :nod:

If not, despite my suggestion to Mrs Beard that I may hitch hike home (she's not impressed with the idea) I'll have to go straight home and miss the game. :( :( :( :'( :'( :'(

Inbox me if you can help. :bow: :bow: :bow:
