Coming today from Scotland

ayrshireclaret83 · Post by **ayrshireclaret83** » Sat Jan 04, 2020 6:10 am

There are 7 of us travelling today to the game from Saltcoats, Ayrshire.

I have supported Burnley since the Waddle season and manage to get to 5-10 games a year.

Well for Xmas I am taking 6 of my closest friends and family on a day out and they don’t actually know at this point where they are going. All they know is to meet at the station at 7am.

Here is hoping they won’t be too disappointed when they find out and we have a good day out.

Hope they're all still talking to you on the way back home!

PS
And as The Enclosure has mentioned them, SMUGGLE IN YOUR OWN TWIX!

Some friend you are!

On a serious note, have a great day! Any ‘away’ day with friends is a good day out

Electric brae is interesting on a clear day. The Robert Burns stuff in Ayr/Alloway is well worth a visit. Lots to do even a trip to Arran if you get the weather.

If you don’t I’ll meet you for a pint and discuss all things Burnley

I’ve Noticed today that the train prices for the next few weeks have dropped from what I had seen earlier in the season in getting a return for around £30 so looks like I’ll get to more games as it saves the hassle of driving and means I can get a couple bene and hots

Hiya Mate did you come down with the new franchise that has replaced Virgin Trains from Glasgow to Preston,if you did what did you think of the new service?

EK Claret · Post by **EK Claret** » Sun Jan 05, 2020 9:24 pm

Ok £30 is decent and the price I have paid before, do you go via Glasgow Central? I was thinking of going to Leicester game I see it is now on the Sunday

There’s a guy next to me on train every week from Scotland. Has a season ticket. I think I remember him saying he doesn’t even have any affiliation to the town. Love stories and dedication like that.
