For those heading to the Charity Cup Final...

[Robson]

...due to the importance of this game, we need as many hardy souls stood behind the goal singing their hearts out for the Town.

 

If you're not familiar with the faces, it doesn't matter - I spent about 15 minutes behind the goal for the first time a few weeks ago and everyone was more than happy to introduce themselves when I joined in the singing. Your support is very much appreciated.

 

If you're travelling by coach, I'm sure we'll be having a few drinks somewhere before leaving- well I will be anyway.

 

See you all there!!

Due to work in central London my plan involves getting a train from Paddington to Southall and then walking/bussing to the ground which given its location could be a fair trek.

 

Does anyone else who has done the trip before by public transport know how much time to allow?

 

Thanks

[townerboy]

its handy for me, as I live over there. I'll be behind the goal, no worries. hopefully we'll win liek the last time we were at Yeading. Anyone else remember the hordes of flies during the game?

I haven't looked at the chart but you may find that Hayes is nearer.

From the Yaeding website-I'm glad I read it as I was planning to go to Southall!

 

Hayes & Harlington BR is 15 mins from Paddington and easily reached from the West. From here best to take a 5-10 minute cab ride to the ground as it is a good 30 min plus walk, through Hayes Town up Coldharbour Lane and onto the Uxbridge Road where you can pick up directions above. There is a cab firm just by the station.

 

Southall BR station is probably nearer for those looking to walk but please note that the Beconsfield Road you can see on most maps near Southall Station does not connect with the Beaconsfield Road the ground is on, the road is divided by the canal! Instead, from the station head north up South Road to the Uxbridge Road (A4020). Then turn left and head west towards Hayes. Once over the canal bridge you will see a retail oark on your left. Carry on past the pub (Waggon and Horses) and at the next set of traffic lights turn left into Springfield Road and follow instructions above.

 

Alternatively take the tube to Uxbridge Underground station (Metropolitan line and Piccadilly line) and at the bus station adjoining, hop on a 207 bus towards Shepherds Bush and alight at Springfield Road. It is 7/8 minute walk to the ground from here.
