If you decide to go by train then into London and either tube or overground to Richmond where you can pick up a courtesy bus on Twickenham Road for the stadium.

Re: Fighting with your brother
I haven’t got a brother but as a wee nipper on Xmas day I had, amongst other things, been given a rubber tomahawk. I promptly walked into my older sisters bedroom and whacked her around the head with it. She wasn’t happy but thus far I don’t think she’s written a book about it

You need to get your wonderful tory MP involved if you want to see any action come from this. Sadly there is still a view held by the establishment of this country that football fans are largely uneducated low lifes and as such can be completely disregarded when it comes to normal conventions.
