Ian_Taylor Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Just booked my flight. Leave Cincinnati Thurs 4pm - 5hrs in Detroit then arrive Friday 11am... Return Sunday 1pm to Seattle - arrive for an 8hour layover before catching an 11pm flight to Cinci arriving at 6.30am Mon morning. EVERY SINGLE SECOND WILL BE WORTH IT! This guy deserves a ticket! this guy speaks sense! I'm happy just to be there, I went to league cup 2010, FA cup 2000 and I'll be dammed if we win and I'm not there!! No offence mate but can you please stay away - you're a jinx!! Lol Haha, I think for the last 28 years most of us can consider ourselves a jinx at games! Remember the dark days of being on the terrace at Doncaster one midweek getting trounced and screaming at DOL. Moments like that will be made up by winning the cup!

NulliSecundus Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Who is getting the Chiltern down? £29 for open day return or £34 with a Travelcard seems pretty good to me.... any other Villa Talkers making the trip down by train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother and I are hoping to go the same route from Brum city centre. We'll do our customary ritual of emptying half of a 2 litre bottle of coke and replacing it with a litre of smirnoff. That'll warm us up on the the way and set us up nicely for a day of getting merry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we are doing it again as we did that against Utd in the carling cup final, get the train to Marylebone, eat and drink around there then go to the ground and do the same coming home, that way guaranteed a seat as it stops at Wembley coming home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstonMartyn88 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I live in Wycombe so will be getting the train in and then driving back to Brum for the fun run on Sunday. FWIW there's loads of parking in Wycombe, trains every 15-20mins to Wembley and I was on a train virtually straight after the team had gone back down the tunnel in the Semi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help. . They don't confirm the full timetable till a week before (so anytime now). Basically they just add an additional stop on the trains theough to Marylebone (Wembley Stadium).

Thanks for the help. . No Worries, yeah Wembley is the station before Marylebone, we get off at Marylebone, as we've brought underground tickets for the day, so we use them on the way back to Wembley from Marylebone after we've had food and drink around there and on the way home we do the same, That way guaranteed a seat coming back to Brum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NulliSecundus Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Chiltern still haven't released their FA Cup final (or I just can't find it!)

omariqy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Tube for me. West Hampstead is a good place to go beforehand for those on the tube. Good pubs/restaurants and easy to get to the ground. You can also park there for free and get the tube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
