For those stopping at Bristol you will have a brill time, I used to live in Bristol...what a City.

Warning, I went to Bristol before the Worthy Cup final with 4 other lads and it was an absolute nightmare getting in pubs. Unless you had a West Country twang it was couples only in most pubs.

Disagree !

Going round Bristol was like a night out in Blackburn before the Worthy Cup.

There where over 30 of us (2 mini-bus loads), had no problems at all, great night had by all.

Will be doing the same again, Saturday night.

arsenal.com  are reporting that the train line between Bristol and Cardiff is closed for Engineering work that day.

cant find anything to support that but is a lttle concerning.

That's just not even funny Stu!!!

Especially given that I have just booked two nights in a hotel in Bristol! Cancelled my Newport one.

Nothing on the nationalrail website.

And as MB says, it looks like there is enough of us to get a minibus anyways.

Strange, we struggled in any of the bars in the main square area and ended up in some back street Aussie bar full of Spurs fans.

Did some further digging last night, the line is closed every saturday and sunday between now and the weekend prior to the cup game. There is a possibility it will be closed on the sunday of the cup semis weekend, but highly unlikely.

Having seen the prices I am now convinced we won`t sell 30,000 tickets. In fact I don`t think we would sell 30,000 even if it was at Villa Park on Saturday 3.00pm kick off. I reckon we`ll shift 15-20,000 tops.

"We anticipate that the number of tickets available is likely to meet the demand from Blackburn Rovers supporters"

The official line from the club...

Exactly, the prices were never going to be cheap, if we get to the final, will the prices remain the same or become more expensive?

I'm going for the £25 tickets.

Train leaves Blackburn at 7am and arrives in Cardiff at 11.51am.

The words through, the and roof spring to mind.

May have a few spare beds up for grabs << here >> on both Friday and Saturday nights.

The accomodation is pretty basic, but then it's only 17 quid per night (21 quid with breakfast) - there's also a bar, a gym, a sauna, some climbing walls, some caves and you can go kayaking before the game. huh.gif

PM me (soon) if interested. No whingers.

Fan friendly my arse.

Decent seats £45 ( £35 if you are lucky) enforced on us in all reality.

What's all this £4 malarky as well to have them posted to us registered - why can't they be collected?

Just gets worse and more expensive the more you look at it.

For anybody's interest - My future brother -in law- has just set up his own Limosine Business and quizzed him about it on Friday. Said would probably cost it about the same price as the train - it has a fridge /dvd / stereo etc so not bad - if interested pls pm me - not sure if I will be using as probably going down on mini bus to keep costs down - can fit x8 at a push. (forgot to add - he's based in Wigan so would have to see re cost re picking up in Blackburn etc)

Cardiff Station is only a few minutes walk from the Millenium Stadium.

I have great faith in British Rail...... unsure.gif

If it were BR still running the railway you'd be OK.

It's Virgin Cross Country and Arriva Trains Wales you need to worry about.

If you dont fancy Bristol..Cheltenham is a good night out and town..

About 6 of us staying there on the Friday...

Time to forget all the negative and get 30,000 rovers fans to Cardiff to cheer on the team to the clean sweep of domestic trophies in the last 10 years now thats a thought for the big clubs!!!

WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED...
