Let’s hear our weird and wonderful ways people are planning on travelling to Kings Lynn.

Appears driving is going to be a nightmare with bank holiday traffic + road works.

Train equally appears to be a challenge.

Potentially, drive to Peterborough and then follow through to Ely for a transfer to Kings Lynn?

Shifting them tickets is going to a major ask unfortunately.


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx

I think you may be surprised. If we get a win at Weymouth I expect 1500 plus. Great to get a decent allocation.

I quite fancy a walk myself...










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Yeah, the train is a right pain for somewhere that's only about 100 miles away.

Grimsby to Donny, Donny to Peterborough, Peterborough to Ely, Ely to King's Lynn. 4 trains and it takes best part of 4 hours!!

Yes it's really one for coach travel - and organise a beer stop in Stamford - beautiful, mostly listed, town centre with loads of pubs (and maybe pick me up on the way?)

I don't think that Limerick is on the way to Stamford!

Limerick was challenging for home games - about the same distance as Copenhagen the other way.

Not too bad for Anfield though - in 2001 Train to Dublin and then ferry. I was due back at work the following day but got delayed for some reason - can't remember why! I did have an inbox full of emails from Irish Man Utd fans to come back to...

A16 to Louth, A153 to just before Coningsby, B1192 to the A17/47 and follow that until you get there. The roads are awful but stick with that route where possible because the diversions will be even worse. My record is around 1hr 40 but that was at 3 in the morning with nothing about. I’ve no idea why anyone would even consider going on a train to somewhere where even the roads are dreadful.
