I'm going to be in London on Friday anyway so getting train on Friday morning, meeting up with some friends and going to the Globe Theatre in the afternoon and then some dinner (this was planned several months ago and I had the feeling Rhinos were going to get to Wembley this year). Staying overnight at a friend's and then getting the tube to Wembley before getting a lift back to Leeds on Saturday night.

Probably go something like...

6am - Awaken (default programmed in awakening time)
8am - Drop off youngest at her place of work
8.15am - Drop off wife at her place of work
9am - Drop off eldest at railway station for her to go to work
9.05 am - Return home, coffee and biscuits
Rest of morning - What the hell I like, maybe do some painting, maybe some reading
2pm - Walk to mates house, choose seat in front of very large TV
4pm - Light up barbeque, party starts

Notice the relaxed nature of the day, it suits me, no travel plans to make, no tickets to check every five minutes, no finding you're sat in the middle of The Fekkwit Alcoholics Working Mens Club coach trip, no standing to let someone go past to the toilet/bar every five minutes, no breaking up at least two fights (one per half if past finals have been anything to go by), no trying to see what happened by squinting at a big screen 150 yards away, and no endless journey home afterwards.

I've paid my dues, now I relax, if I smoked I'd be puffing on a Hamlet.

I'm going down the 07:52 GC service from Bradford to London and coming back on the 20:58 GC service.

Not bad at £37 return as few Leeds supporters I know are doing the same.
