Well, why should they possibly choose to slightly subsidise ? So more people travel, make a louder noise from the stands, and maybe encourage a better performance, making a win or draw more likely? Doh

What is the travelling time each way , sword From London Vic coach station its 7 hours according to their website and vice versa leaving London at 23.30 arriving at 06.30 and leaving Blackpool at 22.50 I think but will have to recheck once I decide if I am going or not I looked at national express. There’s one on Friday at 23.00 arriving Saturday at 08.00 but it stops 8 times. Liverpool and all that. Bit of a mare actually. That’s assuming it’s a Saturday game

That’s assuming it’s a Saturday game I did an overnight coach for Gateshead away a few seasons ago. Never again. No proper sleep on it. Luckily that trip I had a hotel and a train coming back the Sunday which was more bearable but otherwise no way Pedro. Fingers crossed the game is on a Saturday and we have a supporters coach

Hello. Will probably be £10 tickets and MUFC fans will be put in the east stand opposite TV cameras and along the side of the pitch. Expect around 5,000 attendance. Train service is not bad actually, though a tad expensive and you have to change at Preston (yuk spit). Have driven it a few times but it's a long long day.

That’s assuming it’s a Saturday game I checked my site and you are right but mainly because I am a completely brain dead moron who for some reason typed my destination as Newcastle upon Tyne which makes my times right but absolutely no good if you want to go to Blackfuckingpool

As an addendum to the above I only hope I haven't sent my sister to Blackpool.🤣

I used to do the London to Carlisle overnight coach quite frequently. It was a mare.
Blackpool's not as far, but it's a more indirect service.
Tim coach, if running, train or car. Whatever you save by going by coach just isn't worth it.

I used to do the overnight coaches to London Victoria, via numerous northern towns. Sometimes working the next day. It's not something for older bodies to even contemplate.

Certain trains from Euston go to Blackpool North, without the need to change at Preston. Mega bus also operate buses from London to Blackpool. The problem with the national express now is, there is only one bus from Maidstone to London a day now, unlike a few years ago when there were four a day
