rickyprickles Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) From what I can gather, kick off time here (Melbourne) will be 3:30AM Monday morning. I booked the Monday off work when the semi-final draw was made so hopefully I can find somewhere showing it in the city with some other Victoria based Toon fans. Edit - I looked at flights back when I was booking the day off - out of the question for tramps like me.

TheGuv Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 4:30 KO time is late for anyone trying to get a train home the same day unless it’s after 8pm. Not sure there’s even that many trains after that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBingo Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 There's a chance I could get a ticket using my Dad's ST, as due to his age and six defeats on the spin, he's definitely not going. However, I don't really want to go without my son. If I do go on my tod, will probably drive down early Sunday to family in Epsom, train in, meet up with mates in London and stop there Sunday night. Monday off work regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Honestly not sure what to do. Lurk around London and get pissed with no ticket or get arseholed in Toon. Got mates doing both so undecided. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an advert today for a Newcastle train that takes you down to Wembley direct, it actually stops at the station at Wembley, and comes back at 8. It’s a dry train though.

oldtype Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Just my dumb luck that this momentous occasion falls within the small window where I legally cannot leave the United States. One or two other Koreans are going. So if anyone happens to see an Asian in a Newcastle shirt in line to get in at Wembley, please remember to ask “are you mates with Oldtype?” instead of “are you Oldtype?” As for me, I guess I’ll be on the couch with my daughter, moderately drunk on a Sunday morning.

TK-421 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Son is up from Uni this weekend, so I'll be asking him if he's up the weekend of the final too. Either be watching it at home or at a local (The Peri). But might see if my dad wants to join us, too. Was just talking about this in the office, and the 1998 cup final, watched it in City Vaults in town. Match lost, had a few more drinks, and then when we came out the Bigg Market was like a warzone, including people ontop of a smashed up phonebox. Following year, watched it in the Old George, and after the same result, was dreading heading out into Bigg Market, but 1998 post match apocalypse wasn't as bad. So this time, might try and break me 'cup final hoodoo' and avoid the town and stay at home or go local. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually in the Sherlock Holmes on Collins St, but the last Aussie Mags meetups were at the Imperial at the top of Bourke St. I'll be there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bairn came in from school yesterday and told us her teachers son has sold his car so he can get back over from Australia that's commitment! Hope the lad can get a ticket.

Flip Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Close to booking flights, question is if ticket prices in the black market will fall below £1.7k More expensive than World Cup tickets this. Man U side is far more reasonable at roughly half the price. (Even if expensive as hell) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Still holding onto zero hope that I might end up with a ticket. Fuck it is drive down if needs be and park at my mates. If not we’ve booked tickets for the event at Wylam. At least it shouldn’t be radge as fuck cos which radgies go there and drink craft ipas, but should still a big enough atmosphere to enjoy it with other fans.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I guess more tickets will come on reseller websites once fans can start to buy them. Lord knows the prices though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
