Certainly would have been rude - sounds like a very good bargain!

I am booked on one of the overnight stay packages,6-45 am start and down to the Raddison Heathrow Hotel,then to the match. Sunday morning dropped off in London,4-00pm back to Wigan.
Only thing that frightens me is the prices in the Raddison,£3-80 a pint and MIN of £6/7 pounds for a short,the food in the hotel is on the same lines.
One consolation,there is a Mcdonalds next door.

But I am not bothered,I am taking two weeks pension money with me.
O/T It was great news today when it was announced that Hanson was not guilty,he is one of those unsung heros that every team needs,a work horse and comes across as a genuine nice guy.
When they announce the players before the match he deserves an extra special cheer when they peel off.

Take plenty of cans with you and a bottle of Vodka/Whisky/Gin and let the good times roll

rlImportant Official Coach and Train Travel Informationrl

Wembley Stadium overground station is closed on Saturday for those planning to take the train from central London.

Its no good for the OP as i believe he's going on big mikes coaches. This is for the "officia" coaches

Can you take beer on the Direct ETA coaches?

The Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol) Act 1985 bans carrying alcohol on board any coach which is being used to take people to a designated sporting event

No alcohol allowed on the special charter trains either: www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1985/57

I'm taking some but not sure if your meant to. If they check bags then I'll have to leave them in the boot!! Heading back to a mates house party later (hopefully to celebrate a win) and they'll come in handy for that.

What about for on the way back then?

Same on the way back.
