It's 4 hours IF your Coach doesn't have a crash with a giant sized Pawn outside the Ground as Arsenal had

Surely we can't lose 7 2 and be deemed " unlucky " again

I'm looking forward to seeing the magic pint glasses filling from the bottom with Beer brewed in the Stadium .

I can't decide which one to do. Last train home seems tempting, but with work the next day I'm not sure I want to tempt a cancelled train. Also don't fancy driving back after getting battered  :laugh:

Train down, Flixbus back at midnight. Last train from Euston is 22:03 which is no good.

Yes Haksie son. Look at all these lot above with all their posh transport methods. Get yourself on the flix, on the megabus and get yourself home.

When we played Arsenal a few years ago, a football special train was laid on after the match. Is that worth looking in to or not really feasible? Maybe going down on the train with my mate.

Was there? I just thought it was the last train home at 11.30 back then. We actually walked it

Thanks for this, I might try it. It’s 14 minutes on the train, short walk to the stadium. About 23 quid for me and 2 boys

I'm getting old! I was sure that the train back after that game was a special, stopping at Donny only. My mistake then.

Are you maybe thinking of the play off final? Don't remember one for Arsenal.

Millennium stadium was the train special.

It looks a great option. Trains only one an hour after the game. 22.15 and 23.16.

Friend of mine is a spurs fan who lives up here. He drives down and parks at Turkey Street Station then gets overground.

Says its free parking, outside emissions zone, about 6quid on overground. Said it is busy on way out but only ever done it on a weekend, if its mid week games he lodges down there.

According to Trainline there's trains at 22.10, 22.15 and 22.22 from Northumberland Park to Broxbourne.

Went A1 back. Back in Donny for half 1. Small diversion around Peterborough and that was it.

Horrific on the M1 diversion. Sat for 90 minutes in some shitty back roads near Hemel Hempstead. Was very close to pulling into the nearest hotel for a kip but got moving again all of a sudden. 4 hours and 22 minutes. I've got down to Portsmouth from Donny quicker!

Yeah, our coach got back to the Moat at 2.45am.  I got 3 hours kip before the work alarm went off.
