There's still some cheap-ish tickets for Gravesend on 19th Aug - but they've just gone up to £20.50 each way - get 'em booked soon.

For anyone who hasn't been to Northfleet before, it's a complete sh*t hole. The ground is a dump, the away end is adequate at best, and the place itself is a run down Southern tip.
So all in all, a good day out in the Conference

God forbid I should defend anywhere in the Conference but........if you just go to the Cooper Arms, which is a decent friendly pub near the train station, you don't actually have to see anything of Northfleet other than one street, the ground is a dump but the away terrace is a decent size and at least you can see properly (unlike OUR away end!).

Yeah, that's a half decent pub... the first season in the Conference, though, I made the mistake of wandering a bit further afield. Last season we just stuck to that pub for the 2 hours or so before kick off.

Which is the quickest way to Gravesend from Leicester Square? I presume its the Northern Line southbound for 1 stop to Charing Cross then the overground train straight out to Gravesend. ?

It's Northfleet you actually want to head to!

Any train going to Gillingham or Rochester used to get you there.
Walk from Leicester Square to Charing Cross you lazy sod...

After the alcohol consumption by that time of day walking is not an option!

Rumour has it there'll be a few getting on the 1.40 from London Bridge which originates in Charring Cross at 1.32.

IF (and its a big if!!) I can somehow scrounge a couple of quid more off my dad, I might go to this game on Saturday. (Yep - aged 26...and still surviving off daddy dear!  )
If I do go, what time is the train everyone getting on at York?

7:36. Get the 5:55 from Boro to Manchester via York and RafferZ will join you at Northallerton.

Hi,
Thanks for that Tom (and SMP). I'll see what I can do!!!
As I haven't booked anything yet, money wise, its gonna be a bummer!
Sooo, I'm seriously looking at the drastic option as thus:
National Express bus: Boro (00:15) to London (06:20)...and back:
London (23:30  ) to Boro (05:30).
Then get a bus home, Sunday morrning.
Might be worth a try!

...And how would I know you??
Anyway, no worries lads, I plan to get the National Express from Boro bus station to Dartford, via London Vic. (Apparently Dartford is near Northfleet!), So I'll see ya down there!
(I'll be wearing my Jorvik Red's scarf and I'll have my blue Yorkshire flag on me, should you want to say hello...or avoid me at all costs!)

Well, I've sorted my travelling out!  Mind you, I'll be there for about 10am!!
What pub is all the York lads meeting at? (Don't really fancy spending all day with a few cockney geezers!)
