Liverpool FAC3rdR

[StroudGrecian]

Alas almost no chance of going, especially if it is Wednesday as expected.

Praying that the 6 all prem ties plus the games at everton, chlsea, man u, west brom and west ham end in a positive result so we have a chance of more TV coverage.

I'd say the most likely TV replays so far are Pompey v Ipswich and Bristol C V WBA. Plus us and Eastleigh of course.

Am sure I read somewhere that replay prices and logistics (apart from the exact day) have to be agreed between the clubs before the first tie. I would have thought that City wouldn't be too fussed about replay prices as that's a bonus and if it ensures a 35-40k plus attendance can't complain

Feck me. I'd have thought that, even if it had been two men in cloth caps with their whippets turning up at Anfield for the replay at two-and-sixpence a head the club would have taken even that as an unbudgeted bonus* when the draw came out (or even at 19.55 yesterday evening).

*As long as the home club covered all expenses of course.

So lets just enjoy the moment.

Any suggestions for getting to Liverpool and back from Bournemouth for a reasonable price using public transport and perhaps getting on Grecian Travel up the line if that's possible???

You might struggle with the time coming back, anyway of being able to stay in Exeter for the night?

For those who are driving, there is a socccerbus that goes from sandhills station, parking is free (apparently) and it costs £1.60, leaves up to 45 mins after the match.

No chance of getting back from Liverpool (or anywhere bar London) these days after about 17 00. Would once have been a special, but the modern railway doesn't do mass travel.

Ooh, thanks for that, I'll give it a look, unless wherever the Exiles are pre-match has free parking - I need to be up and back on the day due to work and getting Madam to school (the Missus starts work at 7:30 so I have to take her).

London Midland have some good deals at the moment. £9.60 each from London.

If I didn't have to be back on the night I'd have used this, cracking deal.
