DarkFruitsRam7 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I know it's early, but I may have plans on the Friday night before the Swansea game (Saturday 8th Feb). In order to be able to confirm these plans, I could do with knowing whether I can afford to get to Swansea from Manchester the next day (if not, I might have to cancel the plans, get the train back to Burton on the Friday and hop on the minibus the next day, which works out cheaper). The trains on the Saturday morning, even when booked this far in advance, are simply out of my price range. I don't suppose anyone is driving to the game in the morning from anywhere near Manchester? I'd be happy to chuck in some petrol money. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Darkfruits I’d have been happy to oblige, I’m sure I did offer last year too?? Not this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about the length of time (as long as it gets me there before kick off) - it's the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
