Leaving for Yeovil in 30 mins. Am I going to be the first one to get there?:laugh:

So the Div3 tour begins. Will see about checking out a couple of pubs later Looking forward to meeting up with a few of you. The Arrow is looking favourite to start in. I can remember the name of that one

One last request.....if a spare ticket comes up can you let me know please. Will travel anywhere near Yeovil from now til kickoff. Will be able to reply to PM's. Worth beer tokens for anyone that can help get my lad in. He wants to see Jennings play for us imp:

brinner · Aug 17, 2012

see you down there, may know someone with a spare but will not know for deffo till am down there!!

hoffmanhater · Aug 17, 2012

Just buy one in the home end and chance getting into the away end with a home ticket, same colour ticket, and it's a stub rather then a barcode, can't imagine them checking I'd just imagine they'd rip and send every1 throw as quickly as they can

skybluelee · Aug 17, 2012

Stopped raining in Dorchester (20 miles away from Yeovil). Forecast reasonably ok for the rest of today and tomorrow. Bring on the beer and 3 points! :guitar2:

Last week when I came down to Devon for holiday the M5 was worse than the M6 has ever been. Hope all that are coming down Saturday are leaving extra time, you may need it. Took me 6 hours from Kenilworth to Exmouth ....no fun

Anybody got any idea on how long it's going to take to get down there?
The web is saying 3 hours; sounds optimistic.

For anyone already down there...how long did it take and what were the roads looking like?

A bit tarmaccy!

DazzleTommyDazzle · Aug 17, 2012

Used to live in Bristol. The M5 is a nightmare on Saturdays in the school holidays. I'd leave a couple of hours extra at least. If it's clear, you can always spend the extra time I'm the pub (drivers excepted of course!!!).
Give them a shout for me - I'm at Lords tomorrow (birthday present from the wife).

Going the other way (but from 30 miles further afield) never takes more than three hours but that is usually outside of school holidays. Make sure you come off the motorway at Taunton and not Bristol, regardless of what the sat nav says as it is much quicker.

Myself and three mates are stopping down overnight in Yeovil and out on the town. Any recommendations on places to go would be really gratefully received.

Theres 3 decent sized pubs all within 10 mins walk of the ground.. But ground itself is right out of centre of town, but a taxi in ask to go top of town, maybe 'the armoury' or 'the beach' or just the 'weatherspoons' these are 3 main places people tend to go to start the night! If your looking for clubbing, only 1 club haha 'Club Neo' where everybody heads around 12 ish :guitar2: and i will see you in there lol

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Aug 17, 2012

Cheers, mate. Can be a bit of a wash out when no-one knows where to go, will give those places a look.

Arrow is ok, there will be all the Yeovil support in there as well, and sometimes tough to get served but show all sky sports etc and quite a big pub.

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Aug 17, 2012

What are the names of the three decent-sized pubs within walking distance of the ground? Which would you recommend / don't have to wait too long to get served, etc?

SkyBlueCraigo · Aug 17, 2012

Arrow, Airfield Tavern and The Bell... Arrow is the one which will be busiest as all Yeovil fans tend to go there as well, if your looking for not waiting as long i would say The Bell or Airfield for sure.

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Aug 17, 2012

Cheers. Is there a consensus on here of the pub people are aiming for, out of interest?

Astute · Aug 17, 2012

Took 7 hours from arse end of lake district. Having chinese buffet at moment only a fiver. back later when phone has charge

I thought a lot were going to The Arrow? Alternatively the Airfield I would say as The Bell is a bit furtehr away I think.

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Aug 17, 2012

Sold. As soon as I lose the designated driver status, I shall be getting on it there before a big three points, second away win of the new season, clean sheet and three goals scored.

Astute · Aug 17, 2012

What a day. 3 yr old threw up all over the back of the car on way here. Made it in good time considering.

Brinber, please let me know when you find out. Would love to buy you a beer whatever. Of you could get him a ticket I would love to buy you a few

This has been a reality check for me already. Picked my lad up from Yeovil Junction. It is like going back in time. Whilst I was waiting outside the station a bloke pulled up alongside me with long permed hair and asked me if I was going to Woodentop farm. What an accent he had. Tried my best not to laugh

Lots of pubs about. Wetherspoons next to the bus station. Well I think it is the bus station at least. Not found the Arrow yet. Out shopping for beer then going for a drink. My wife is my taxi. Will be in the pubs at opening time tomorrow. Hope to see you all there.

WONDERLAMPS · Aug 17, 2012

Is 7 hours regular time for lake district to yeovil also any road works holding it up

Astute · Aug 17, 2012

If i was in my car it would have been 4 hrs. We are touring so much slower. Towed a 1.7t van behing us..330 miles so good time

Astute · Aug 17, 2012

Good news. Lad has a ticket. Told him he has to wear a Motherwell top so you should be able to spot us
