Pepe the Horseman Thought she lived in Derby?


:lol:

obvs impressed by the Perth guy.

I leave Lux Friday morning, sleep at my M&D's in RG1, pick up my ticket, train to Paddington Saturday morning, drop stuff in my Old Street hotel, then on to Wemberlee.

When I flew over for the Swansea play off there were two RFC fans in shirts in Lux airport departures. Moroever I was at primary school with one of them :shock: . (Norcot/Kendrick). Her husband is a Scot but also now RFC.

I'm only travelling from Cheltenham, BUT I am conducting a choir in a service at 8.40am first.

Am I doing the weirdest thing before getting on the road?

10539.4 Miles Away I'm currently sat at Perth airport waiting for my flight wondering what the hell was I thinking when I decided flying back just for the match was a good idea!

Anyone else travelling back for the game?



Saw on Instagram a guy travelling from Brisbane for the game.

Pretty impressive

I'm travelling from Austria for only my second Reading game since I emigrated 6 years ago. The last game was the 7-5 cup match against Arsenal - I hope that's not an omen.

Checking in from Dubai

Brisbane is 2000 miles (and about 4 hours) further than me so the lead is his then.

Can't beat this impressive lot even though I am flying in from Amsterdam. I feel as I am a local fan compared to the above!

Flight lands Friday night, then 10.30 Saturday Three Guineas for a livener, train to Paddington at 11.30ish, to Baker Street area for some real fun. Off to Wemberlee about 1.30, for a beer at Torch followed by a final beer at Crystal around 3.30.

Lovely

10 minute walk to Reading Station. Meet in the Three Guineas, couple of pints then jump on the train to Paddington. Tube to Baker Street, Tube to Wembley Park, Walk to the Torch.

Kudos to everyone travelling from all over the world though! I wouldn't do it.

Stuka I shall begin my road to Wembley by walking to Euston and having a few drinks before hopping on the Metropolitan Line. It's more or less like a home game for me.

It *is* a home game for me - it's my nearest football ground. I'll be walking down to the Torch mid afternoon :lol:

Breakfast in Caversham. Drinking around Baker Street before the game. I'll be avoiding the Torch as it appears the chav element are heading there.
