Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 What is the main way people travel to away games and why? Do people drive because it's normally quicker to get home or do you go by coach or train so you can have a drink or just simply can't drive? Do many people travel on organised transport and if not, why not? Last question, what are your thoughts on Coach Hire in general? I'm just studying at the moment and this kind of research is part of my project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Normally easy jet to Manchester or Gatwick but recently Ryanair to stansted has been doing the trick..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I buy a ticket and go I drive - often staying overnight to avoid the rush (I don't take long holidays, so much of my annual leave is used for football - especially for midweek games) Buses are too cramped for me - I have a history of deep-vein thrombosis.

TomBustler1884 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'll never go on the roadrider again after the playoff final fiasco. I prefer to use the train and make a weekend of it however prices mean sometimes I have to drive. Cardiff would cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheltenhamRam Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Car mostly, sometimes train. Driving is efficient and cost effective especially now that we are looking at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curb Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Camper van The Black & White surf bus on tour. Get there early, park next to the ground, chill out on t'interweb in the back, have a coffee and a sarnie, go to game, do the same after while the traffic dies away, drive home. Although Saturday were going on the train for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammie002 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I like in Lincoln, so I drive pretty much everywhere. Train/Bus services are normally bad, especially for midweek games, never a train coming back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I like in Lincoln, so I drive pretty much everywhere. Train/Bus services are normally bad, especially for midweek games, never a train coming back! Second your midweek games train gripe, theres a train roughly every 20 mins to Nottingham, until 9 20 weeknights, next train home is 11, then 2 more before midnight. To answer the question, train away at weekends, car midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEL Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 What is the main way people travel to away games and why? Train because i want to get there by myself without being a mess about/ running late. I book train tickets so early and get cheaper prices (while i'm on it i just booked train tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
