Pre-Match Thread Boreham Wood v Southend United, Saturday 28th October, 15:00 ko, NL

[JCB]

Looks like there’s a lot of issues with the Thameslink for anyone travelling by train

 

[TSG]

My plan of getting to the Spoons early & grabbing a table has been blown by massive delays on Thameslink where I planned a train from West Hampstead! Luckily, & knowing london transport well, I had a plan b, pubs in the local area, so having a pint, or two, of Dream Factory (4.6) in the delightful Alice House, where they are getting ready for Halloween already, no horror show today lads!!

Safe travels all & come on you Shrimpers!

What's Brook Road Car Park like after the game? As bad as getting away from Barnet's car park?

It's OK.

Oh dear, trespassers on line, more trains cancelled, don't use Thameslink people, no worries, yet, but looking at buses!

Just got on the Bedford train from St Pancras, being used as an alternative route to Boreham Wood for anyone there. Not sure if it's the case for next couple of hours but will be on the board

Yes, good advice, but not stopping at West Hampstead, very full trains passing though, not sure how long to stay, trouble is this beer is very good....

Yup delays on all St Albans trains from Blackfriars. There’s a Luton one due soon with no reported problems. Fingers crossed.

Hopefully can keep an unchanged side and if the players can keep up the intensity like we have been then I think we will win again, as much as I would of loved a cup run, this 2 week break after today has definitely come at a good time

 

[Blues ‘n’ twos]

I hear Justin has beaten the travel delays and is soaking up the Atmosphere in The Good companion pub with fans.
He just can’t tear himself away!

 

[TSG]

Line looks open now, we've got one, it says, in 5 mts. but not Blackfriars, that's 20 mts. behind, anyway, you will make it LS, hope you can grab a beer! Food for me will be old school, half time pie, hopefully!

Bloody aussies, not a private helicopter I hope...still, I will pop in!

I thought Justin was in the Netherlands?

I thought Justin was in the Netherlands?

If he was in NL, a same day return round trip today so he could go to the match is a possibility

We got the Luton train and are now en route .. should be there in 15. Sounds like I might need to go Justin hunting!

I thought he said he was going back before today? Fingers crossed I'm wrong because he really has the bug doesn't he?
