Out of interest how is everyone getting to and from the game Friday?

Like many others we normally travel by train but the trains coming back aren’t the best...think the last one back to Leicester is 11.10pm with no onward trains.

managed to fill a car and even convince the old man to drive! probably park at one of the tram stops and get the tram up near to near the train station. Other than Hooters, anyone know of any away pubs near the ground that are worth a visit?

Head along the river Trent - The Southbank and Brewhouse Kitchen (think that’s the name) are both decent and will be packed. If you walk back up over the bridge towards the centre then head past the train station to the pubs along the canal, includes a big Whetherspoons and some decent bars - very busy at the Away game a few weeks back. Many piled off the trains into that area .

Going in the car. Bablake doesn’t kick out until 4 so we can’t leave until then.

South Clifton is probably the easiest and takes 15mins to the station.

Going by Sky Blue Express coach form Christ the King club @ 5pm.

Might be cutting it a bit fine, due to traffic on a Friday!

I'd guess like last time straight after the match. He was playing with the idea that a coach would stay behind until 2am ish so people could go out in Nottingham. He was waiting for confirmation from the police and the coach company. Never heard anything about it again though so don't know whether it materialised or not.
