Hereford United - Tuesday 19th September 2006 - League Cup - FOX TRAVEL PRICES ADDED

[bocadillo]

Your chance to assess whether Rob Purdie should have been kept on at Leicester!​

Kick off 7:45 p.m.


Tickets
We have been allocated a total of 1,000 tickets for this match - 500 standing places and 500 seats (now amended to 352 standing places and 422 seats - total 774). The standing tickets are priced at £13 (£9 concessions*); seats are £15 (£12 concessions*). This is Hereford's normal price for League Two games.

*Children under the age of 16 and Senior Citizens aged 65 and over. Proof of identification may be required to qualify for concession prices.

Monday 11th September - Season Ticket Holders Priority 1
Tuesday 12th September - Season Ticket Holders Priority 2
Wednesday 13th September - Season Ticket Holders Priority 3
Thursday 14th September - Members
Friday 15th September - General Sale

I understand that there are over 1,000 people with Priority One and Priority Two cards - this means that if everybody wants to go, there will not be enough to go round. Do not delay in securing your ticket.


Coaches
Fox Travel coaches will leave the Walkers at 3:30 p.m. Adult season ticket holders £15, concession season ticket holders £13 - non-season ticket holders an extra quid in each case.


Trains
Unsurprisingly, there are no trains back to Leicester after the game. Those who want to make an overnight stay will find that the Standard Open Return is £30.80 for an early return the following day, although you can save £6 by buying a Saver ticket and delaying your return.

Cheaper fares may be available by 'splitting' the ticket; if anybody is interested in using the train and staying overnight, please feel free to pm me and I will see if I can find a cheaper fare.


Route
M69
M6
M42
M5
Leave M5 at Junction 7

A44 into Worcester
A4103 to Hereford.

There is a big council car-park just opposite the ground. Town centre car-parks are not far away either.

99 miles - about 2 hours

I can't find any announcement about this or any other of the games being televised. With twelve Premiership clubs having joined the competition, I can't see that they are likely to choose a match between Hereford and Leicester. Five of the Prem clubs are playing away and, if there is to be a live game, I would think it might be Wigan's game at Crewe.

Are the early rounds of the Carling Cup televised live? - I don't know because I am usually at the game.

There were two live TV games in the last round, on the Monday and the Thursday. So being at the game isn't an excuse!

Can I use being on the boat as an excuse?
Can I use not having Sky as an excuse?
Can I use hating football on the TV as an excuse?
Please.

Sky have got Crawley Tn v Oxford Utd on the Monday of the week the next round is being played, so maybe they're not doing a match from the cup.

They have the Crawley v Oxford match listed as being a Premiership match!

If its 99 miles, why does the coach leave at 3.30?

LOL LOL

They will stop every 20 miles, with the first stop planned for Leicester Forest East.

I would rather do a Bernie and walk than sit on a coach.

The bus will have to negotiate the M69, M6, M42 & M5 in rush hour. With the exception of the M69, I have been in hold ups on all of these road for inexcess of 2 hours for accidents and 1 hour for volume of traffic on a regular basis

Then the twisty road from the M5 to Hereford is a nightmare to negotiate if stuck behind something.

A sensible time to leave I think. At that time of night and in a bus, I would plan for a 2hr longer journey

Why not? If I was travelling from Leicester by car, I wouldn't be leaving much later than that. A lot of the route is non-motorway and even the motorway sections can be very busy late afternoon. It's a 2 hour drive, as I stated in the 'Route' section of my initial post - and there's no point in arriving just a coupl of minutes before kick-off and trying to enjoy the game when you've been worrying that you were going to miss it.

AH!! OK then. I don't think I would fancy leaving Leicester (or Loughborough) at 5 and driving there for the game.
