Hardly worth running a coach for this game. You'll have to stop in somewhere like Luton!

You seriously cannot miss the stadium. It's next to a IKEA and Asda. Also on the stadium site they have a Mc Donalds and KFC.

[HammersmithR]

The kind of place where I'd hate to live.

At least we can be back at the Bush in quick time.

15 minute walk from Bletchley, but nothing around the station. Plenty of stuff to do if you get off at CMK station, including a Weatherspoons 10 minutes up the hill from CMK station. RangersW12 will be putting money behind the bar.

Eight Bells is 5 min walk from the station and a fine pub

The only way any money is going behind the bar is if you drop your credit card

[QPR_NW10]

any idea of pricing yet for the ticket? £20 would be fair.

Not even close to Luton

Well it is really.
