Carlisle - Roll Call and Pub watch :)

[Reg Martin]

I'll be there - its almost a home game for me in terms of distance to travel. Hopefully 700-800 of us there given importance of the fixture.

It is a funny feeling isn’t it....our clubs furthest away game is our closet game to go to, albeit still a 12 hour round trip :(

My ugly mug would scare the beejesus out of you!!

Na, I'm immune - you haven't met my wife!

 

[BrettieAngell]

I'm travelling up with my dad and Hils on the Trust coach, I think the nearer to the ground the better for a pre-match beverage.

At least you're moving back down to the Holy Land of Essex soon, you lucky git!

Alright - shall we arrange to meet at option 2 on the 3 that Rich suggested in the first post on this thread? If it so happens that they won't take in away fans - I can send on a text to Hils and let you all know where we are headed perhaps?

ok mate sounds like a plan obviously if everyone else agrees!

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Plan sounds fine with me!
I take it the Trust coaches leave straight after the final whistle and so there's no time for a post match pint either?

Think we have to pile on the coach as soon as it's full time.

Yeah no time for a swift one afterwards unfortunately! :'(

 

[The Big Shrimp]

I'll be there too, thanks to James The Mighty Shrimper's Dad, & I cannot wait!!

I'll be easy to spot, I will be the big bloke on crutches! Say hello if you see me, especially A S, who I promise not to gloat about The Doonhamers superb win!!

They are now my team for the cup after knocking out the woeful Aberdeen.

Looking forward to seeing you mate.

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

Junior Suffolk Shrimper and myself starting off at 8.00 am on Friday. Not that I drive slow, and four new tyres on the crappy punto now to replace the slicks that were on there for a bit of road grip, but best to get to that campsite early before the night blizzards roll in off the Lake District peaks.

Do we win the prize for leaving the earliest?

 

[Ozzer]

We're making a weekend of it and taking the Shrimpers trust coach up on Friday morning. Anyone doing the same?

And does anyone know what bars/clubs are there for the Friday night shenannigans after the arduous trip. The coach leaves Roots Hall at 10:30 am so I'd imagine we'll arrive in Carlisle in time for a full night out n then back to the Ibis.

I'm on the overnighter too! Sounds like the Griffin is the pub to go to.

Its so long since I sent you a copy of the Echo, I can't remember what you look like. At least you won't mistake me!! Looking forward to it, mate!!

Btw, I might have to get a QOTS cup final shirt to p!ss off my Killie mates!!

You can not miss me....short fat and bald!!

I was tempted to get a QOTS shirt but i think i might get lynched up here if i did

Ha! And I'll be easy to spot as I'll probably be with the big bloke on the crutches!

I'd like to drop into one of the pubs pre-game, might be able to twist my dad's arm, or waddle off on me own.

Should be gooooood! :)

I'll race you then after you've had a skinful!!!

Just bought my ticket for Carlisle and so far they've sold just over 300. Still a few days to go though and expect some will buy on the day.

Reckon we'll have about 400 at BP.

All the best for Saturday, I believe Rovers will get a result at Orient, and I think you'll get at least a draw at Carlisle, sets up the final games nicely.
