Anybody going my.way.

Post by 45YEARS+ » Mon Apr 20, 2015 8:48 pm

Hi,
As my username.indicates I'm now in my half a century of years following Barrow. I now live in York but try to get to as many games as possible, a home game involves a two hundred and thirty miles round trip but I must have seen more than twenty games this season home and away. I'm desperate to get to Lowestoft for that final game, I have priced the train and that is my final resort the journey from Peterborough is really long winded and I was wondering is anybody coming across the M62 corridor and can give me a lift from somewhere on that route. Or perhaps could give me a lift from Peterborough its on the main line from York. It goes without saying that I would give the person paying for fuel and also for the inconvenience. Thanks for reading this message.

The club won't be able to help you as the Trust is in charge of away travel.

Hi,
I will perhaps contact Richard Ingham, I always see him when I get chance to go to the home games when I pay my pledges.

We can try and help by contacting the coach company to see which route will be taken.

Hi,
Mr Van Der Nipper and Mr Ingham said they were going to ask the coach company which route they were going to follow, so I'm keeping everything crossed.

Hi,
Disappointing, but I'd like to thank everybody who tried to help. I should have thought about it earlier but I never realised the coaches would be coming across to Ferrybridge before heading South East.
Regards.

If you can get to Preston/Manchester I can drive you for petrol money?

Thanks for the replies from The real Slim a former member of this forum and The Chief, I'm not sure a former member of this forum where you got your train times and prices from but according to the station in York, the cost is just under £60 thats if I buy a £30 railcard and the journey is five hours fifty minutes (time is not the issue). Hi 'The Chief' thanks for your kind offer of a lift, I will look at my opitions tonight and let you know by 21.00 hours if I would like to take up your offer. Again thanks to everybody for their communications and help, it's like being part of a big family unit.
