Afternoon chaps, how is everyone getting to Leicester with the first train into there gets you in just after 11? Also are people planning on drinking in Leicester or everyone going in and out of that place as quick as possible

Drive there go to game come home shower

There are plenty of earlier trains to Leicester than 11am.

If you're trying to do the entire trip from Coventry on the train then you're severely limiting your options...... you need to get to Nuneaton.

It has always staggered me that two of England's largest provisional cities, just 20 miles apart, don't have a direct train link. I doubt such a situation doesn't exists anywhere else in Europe.

Would normally get train but have to get coach. Getting to Sky Blue Tavern for 7am opening, assuming we'll set off around 10am so probably go straight to ground.

Theres one train into Leicester in time to get to the stadium arrives about 10.50am

It will probably be raining again so you can just skip the shower

Anyone driving can park at Freemans Common Multi Storey for a £5, five to ten minutes walk away.
It’s my works car park so has security etc.

There used to a direct train service between Nottingham, Leicester and Coventry but the powers to be stopped it. F**ing Muppets, you now have to change at Nuneaton and your left with a crap service between Cov and Treacle Town.

It's because there aren't enough paths for the train to cross the West Coast Mainline at Nuneaton. Exactly the sort of thing HS2 should alleviate.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Looked at driving straight there but struggled for parking options so getting the coach from CBS . Easier but a tad pricey @£23

The Leicester train station is in the town Centre, it will take you over half an hour to walk to the stadium , doesn't give much time for a few beers etc, unless you get a taxi .

 

[Saddlebrains]

Because they're in the main incompetent and lazy?

DM @Saddlebrains a dick pic, it’s the only way we’ll know you’re legit.

But then you have to go to both Nuneaton and Leicester. The train from Cov feels like self care in comparison.

 

[clint van damme]

Going on sba, straight there and back. I don't want to spend a second longer over there than necessary.

3.1 Coventry, their preparation is nuts. Go for them from the off and embarrass them.

I admire your confidence, but sadly I think you will be disappointed.

But I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Covkid1968#]

Can’t see anything but a loss… hope I’m wrong. Going back to my Leics village pub after the game for a beer with loads of them. If we lose I’m going in Windmilling…

Has everyone had their tickets delivered yet ?
