When I first looked into going after Wakey won through to the semi-final, a return rail ticket Friday afternoon-Sunday could have been had for £42, now it's 3 times that price, I'm driving down Saturday morning, staying in Premier inn at Borehamwood Saturday night and driving back Sunday.

Not sure if I'll bother with the warm up games or have a wander round London to walk off the nerves before the big match at 5:45
We will certainly give the women's game a miss and the CC Final if it's Shudds v HKR. Fingers crossed for a Wire v Wigan game.

I wont be watching the women's, will probably sample a few of the pubs near by for soe pre match atmosphere! Not sure about the CC final may go in at HT if its a good game depending on who is there and the score at HT!

England are playing the night before the Cup final. On trains admittedly with a rail card the wife and I have first class return tickets for a total of £131 between us travelling Saturday morning. Staying at the Pre Inn Earls Court back Sunday

Premier Inn ?? ...with your connections I thought you'd be stopping at Buck House in one of Charles' spare rooms
Apparently the club were trying to find some more coaches for hire! I believe they had filled 15 Pity they can't hire a train like they used to do in the 50s and 60s.
