Will you be heading towards Hull?

Not if you're getting on, I'm on this bus so why don't you come to Hartlepool the night before and after?

No Mr stad but its a big boozer that has a big car park 20 mins from the ground been in touch with the pub and we are welcome there.
then back on the bus 2-15 onward to the ground...

For those who don't know, this pub is actually in Groby, leave the M1 at junction 22 and turn left towards Leicester.

Thanks Mr I that is correct.

£67.00 return on the train from Blackpool

Sound yloop.

Sound as a pound, my seat confirmed!

43.20 on the train for me like, will only cost £5 to get home on my bike!!

exactly, i find it amusing that it works out cheaper for you to come up here on your bike.

it'll be a fun day...I hope you've got your fancy dress sorted!

Is a Yellow away top permitted to be worn yet?? Or is it still to early to wear it?

I've got my fancy dress sorted already yep!! Im going as Yloop! Sweet!

I think you're being a little economical with the truth there, you can do the journey for less than half that if you buy the tickets in advance.
No one should pay the £67 fare if they're travelling on a Saturday, it only costs that much if you travel before 9AM on a weekday.

The standard saver fare is £50.30, which is valid on any train on Saturday.

It works out cheaper if you split the journey at Manchester.
Blackpool to Manchester is £12.70, and Manchester to Leicester is £35.60, total fare £48.30

If you buy your tickets in advance you can do Blackpool-Manchester for £10.50, and Manchester to Leicester for £22, total fare £32.50, less than half what you quoted.

It's not on the road to Leicester (A50) though, and so it's easy to miss.
When you get to the junction with the A46 (about 3 miles after leaving the M1), take the third exit, signposted Groby - but don't follow the road into Groby, turn immediately left, then first right, follow the road to the right, then take the first road on the right.


Groby is pronounced to rhyme with 'ruby', by the way.
