Lags Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Decent prices can be had from Man Pic to Euston that day. I've booked. Can the London lads now explain best way and how to The Valley from there? or better still will anyone be going that way.

Not sure about transport across the smaoke, but I'm sure 1 or more of the London boys will fill you in (with the details) What prices have you managed to get?

From London Bridge, train to Charlton (another 20 mins). Edited August 19, 2009 by JoeP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Me and a mate are making a weekend of it with the wives and kids - they can go to a show on saturday afternoon. Train down on friday evening, back on sunday evening - about £60 for all 8 of us with a family railcard. Travellodge at southwark for £75 a family room per night incl brekkie. Wouldn't mind meeting up with a few others for a couple of beers pre-match; any suggestions of decent boozers near the valley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Basically the journey is pretty straightforward. About 40-60 mins ish allow a bit more if you want to be comfortable. Euston to London Bridge is via the Northern Line City Branch to Morden via Bank (it is do able- if you go wrong-as that goes via Charing Croos but it is longer) This should be about 20-25 mins "door to door" comfortably. At London Bridge go for the South Eastern trains to Dartford. Take care as London Bridge is one of the stataions that has other services. Normally platforms 1-4. Allow about 20 mins , but if you are luckly there will be a train, I think they are about every 20 mins. Station is close by about 5-10 mins walk.

Latics and England Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 It's probably worth mentioning that this is an international weekend. I don't know whether Charlton have any internationals, but if they do, the game could well be postponed. Even if they don't, England are playing a qualifier in the Ukraine that day which could lead to a change in kick-off time/day. It may well be the case that it's a 3pm Saturday kick off as expected but please consider that you are taking a gamble if you book train tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks for the info guys. If they have internationals and it's cancelled, then it looks like a day trip to the smoke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latic12345 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Does this mean 12pm in The George 2.30 train to Darftford 3.15 into The Valley 5pm leave The Valley 5.30pm in The George 8pm out in Clapham? You know it makes sense!! Edited August 20, 2009 by latic12345 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I don't know why you guys insist on meeting at the George. It's at least 50p a pint more expensive than the Southwark Tavern, which is 50 yards up the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One's an olde worlde tourist trap selling overpriced, mediocre-quality beer, the other's a vibrant place near Borough Market that has a cheaper, broader range of better beers.
