Re: Safe travel

As you say Bill I agree the extra holiday traffic was a nightmare. We will not make the same mistake again. All roads around Twickers are always notoriously bad too. We live and learn don't we.

Re: Safe travel

Last year it took us a couple of hours so we thought we had plenty of time leaving around 10 ish. I assume the earlier kick off, holiday and football traffic made the difference. Will certainly look at parking location more next time too.

Re: Safe travel

Cannot believe it took us 5 hours to get from Hinckley to Twickenham yesterday and no we did not go via Manchester. M1 not bad, M25 nose to tail mostly and M4 to Twickers the same, approx 20 mins plus to do 1 mile. Ended up missing first half and then losing the game. A bad day all round. Any advice...

Re: See yourself at the Final

Sky + the match and watched it again when we got home. We saw me and husband in the crowd just after Floody scored the first penalty, could not believe it, 81K+ people and we spotted ourselves. How mad is that. Have now watched the match three times and get the same feelings every time. Will no doub...

I was also pleased with all the awards...

We must try the Cat stand sometime, I work for the Main Contractor that built it so did get regular updates throughout its construction from site staff. It's always great to see it at full capacity.

Re: New member today

Great seat Carole, we are always on the terrace and get there early to get at the front. Get more banter with both home and away fans, although by the end of the first half had lost the all feeling in my feet!!!!! It was well worth it though.

Re: New member today

Hiya Carole, I too have been a fan for years and been to many matches but only started looking at this forum last year. I have found out lots more about rugby by reading all the posts from people who know the game inside out which means I enjoy the matches even more. Enjoy the forums and future matc...
