I thought we were supposed to be a professional outfit, so how can we not be running a coach for the players? I am considering going, but will wait to see how the roads look and what the weather is like. It should be a close game, and hopefully we can sneek through.

[David Holden]

A coach would mean that the players have to take even more time off work, as they would have to leave earlier to get to Stonebridge Road in time to catch the coach.

 

Very few of our players live locally, so for most of them it is probably easier for them to drive directly to Eastbourne than to drive to Gravesend to get the coach.

[Jimmy]

Exactly Dave.

 

Another case of mikefleet posting before thinking.

Maybe Graham Porter could give them all a lift on his Fire Engine <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/busted.gif" alt="" /> No stopping at red lights! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Harry J Allstars]

I cant get to the game. What are the trains like to and from eastbourne? If anyone can help me out with lifts then I'll go, otherwise sorry.

So without any facts you just decide to call the club unprofessional?

[Fleetbabe]

It's more a case of common sense isn't it. It's got to be easier for the players working in central london, and the surrounding area, as they can take their bags with them and shoot straight down the A13 (or is it the A12, i never can remember). Pinno can join straight on to the M25, as well can't he, working at Bluewater.

Your knowledge of geography is matched only by your understanding of the laws of football. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The A12 would take you to Colchester and beyond and the A13 is good when we play Canvey.

[Jimmy]

Like all those Man U fans booking accomodation in Newcastle for their replay at St James Park.

The A13 is never good.

[Fleetbabe]

Well, I tried! It was just a blind guess, as those are the first couple of junctions on the M25 after the tunnel. I just remember seeing them on the way to my uncles. We go that way round the M25 and off at South Mimms, towards Stevenage on the A1(M). Enlighten me then, which route would someone coming from London take to eastbourne?

[David Holden]

Could you actually point to Eastbourne if someone gave you a map?

[Harry J Allstars]

Is it near Tonbridge? I know it does exactly what it says on the tin so it may well be east of Bournemouth

[Fleetbabe]

Er, yes, I did do GCSE Geography!

[David Holden]

Then you probably know that Eastbourne is completely the opposite direction to Stevenage when travelling from Gravesend.
