To be fair, pretty much the only option from up north is car or coach. trying to get there on the train nowadays, even for 3pm, is very hard work.

Ridiculous kick off time though, they dont care about the travelling fans, but we already knew that.

Early start for Accy Clarets

Leisure might need to think about setting off at Midnight, like we did in the 70s with Viscount Central

A trip to Brighton comes to mind. Tour of the pubs around Burnley on the Friday night, with coach from the bus station at midnight. Arriving in Brighton about 7am. And no toilet on the bus!

We've just taken over 1,700 to QPR for a 1pm Sunday k.o.

It's a lot easier getting to London than Norwich! I also imagine a good % of that 1,700 are Southern based.

I remember someone in the RAF in Yorkshire saying he could get to Ascension Island quicker than Norwich.

If people just stopped at the Linton travel tavern overnight then there wouldn't be an issue. Bring your own plate though

Remember the Friday late night setoffs well on route to Plymouth on Viscount central

“We can turn round now and you get your money back - or we push on, the game might be off, and no refunds”

It was a colder cold snap than this weekend. Like Bambi on ice at the services.

All that for a nil nil draw as I remember.

More of use to southern clarets as it's equidistant between Norwich and London

Has Norwich City centre been pedestrianised now?

[Squazo]

what time will coaches be setting off ? 5am latest?

[Leisure]

5.45am from the Turf and no pub stop!

That’s cutting it fine, especially if there are issues with traffic en route

[Leisure]

Fingers crossed that there won't be any hold ups and we should be there by 11.30am.

[Squazo]

no pub stop i better bring a packed lunch!

Two lots of road works and loads of 50mph areas on two motorways down to Norwich at the moment 4:45 hrs is cutting it very very fine

Good job he’s giving them 6hrs 45m to get there from the turf then.

Getting there for 11:30 is actually 5hrs 45m

Sure, but the game kicks off at 12:30.

As someone who’s done that drive regularly a few years back I know that you have to add at least another hour onto the ETA to account for traffic and other issues. Rarely did I arrive when I expected to.

Thanks for all the comments. We'll keep them in mind before we finalise the pickup times.

Perhaps this is your chance Leisure for your midnight pick up.

[NottsClaret]

Nightmare last year, no issues on the roads at all so unfortunately got there in plenty of time to see that match.

[Lancasterclaret]

There is a reason I've never done Norwich and this is it

(weirdly I've done Ipswich, Plymouth, Bournemouth, Gillingham though, which are all ballaches to get to)
