Worse for Sunderland fans - A14 was closed at Woolpit to Bury - magical mystery tour through Ixworth, Thurston & Morton Hall, some didn't get back until 5am! |  | | |

Nor a London Town fan, grrrr. Only getting worse with the Newbury Park suicide coach journey. |  |

Surprised they even made it through Ixworth alive. Some very strange and wrong folk in those there parts. | |

Didn't help me living in Bury.
Locked my doors going through Ixworth! | | | |

The coach from Witham to Colchester took 12 minutes. I'm sure they'll survive. |  |

Ixworth is a local village for local people.
But still several steps up the ladder from Halesworth. |  |

It's certainly a much better bus option than the slow crawl down the A12 to Newbury Park, might only be 30 minutes later home. |  |

Plus the changeovers it adds half an hour. Not a big deal. As Steve says the upcoming Newbury Park journey is far worse. That makes it a three hour journey for me instead of hour and a half. If we lose to the budgies god forbid, that's a rotten return on a Sunday late afternoon. It will probably rain as well. | |

Cos you're weird like that. It takes 5 minutes just to get to the A12 from Witham station. |  |

You're arguing about how long a bus took that I was actually on and you weren't. What a strange thing to argue the toss about. And you reckon *I'm* weird.
Have a word with yourself. | |

Bruv.
It is 15 miles from Witham station to Colchester North.
12 mins would suggest your coach driver was doing a solid 75 mph, from door to door.
To put this in context, it takes c. 15mins to travel from station to station - on the train. In a straight line. With no traffic lights, roundabouts, traffic jams etc.
12 mins is dizzy chat. | |

I've done the Newbury Park bus journey for the last two seasons when the railworks have been in hence arranging a while ago for lifts to the Bristol City and scum games.
The Scum away game last season with the rail issues was a massive ball ache having to leave mine at 6:15 ffs! On a Sunday! |  |

Yeah, the Scum kick-off times are a pure joke.
Sadly, the respective bumpkin police forces of Suffolk and Norfolk cannot comprehend the possibility of a civilised kick-off time.
We did all get wrecked on that Maundy Thursday a few years ago, mind. | |

The fact that Leeds v Millwall last week was a 3pm kick off despite there being trouble between the teams every time they play and yet ours is always 12 o clock just fücks me right off. | |

The joys of following a provincial team, Rommers...
Hijacked the Acca thread earlier, btw. Trust you can acquiesce with said. | |

Indeed. Not much we can do unfortunately
Had to google that word. If I'm ever dramatically later than the time I say it will go up, I'm glad someone else put the thread up. Unfortunately, something came up in the real world I had to deal with.
May or may not do one for the internationals that week. Though the thought of people putting up a 1/40 shot to beat Gibraltar doesn't fill me with confidence. | |
