Leicester good trip shame about the game or what?
Any problems on the roads?
Good train Journeys?
Atmosphere on the coaches?
Food and Drink?

ST coach 2 - kid sick whilst still on 127, nice half hour services stop as we were so early, bit of Michael McIntyre on the tv on way up. Coming back, I know I enjoyed it but, dot, dot, dot.....Mamma Mia?! On a football supporters' coach?! Oh and no stop, back in Benfleet by 7. No leg room though, don't know why I put myself through it tbh, ended up with real back ache from sitting awkwardly.

Easy one really except the traffic getting out! back in Basildon at 7-00 and in the Moon on the Square by half past where a fair few of the SoL coach passengers seemed to be:), Not sure when I got home though?:unsure:

Great trip went by train,met everyone in london about 10,where we took over a pub near angle the bar staff where the best yet,as we all had cans so they let us put them in the fridges must of been the fact we was spend a lot of cash in there : )
Got the 1225 from london that got us into leicester about a hour later,where we went straight to the ground for another beer,
Thought game was ok and score line made us sound rubbish to those who wasn't there or wasn't listening (like my dad or did neither)
After game we went to a little pub next to station but ended leaving as one was id and didn't have it on him,so off to the pub over the road,where we found a good handfull of sufc fans,so good atmos in the pub, others where in there as the trains where messed up due to someone jumping at kettering,our train at 7 was on time just took a little longer
Shared the train home with leicester,derby and palace fans and had a right good drink and sing song with them
Getting back to london about 830 we was met by the old bill and some where pulled over and spoken to as all sets of fans where doing a conga up and down the train lol
Then some went pub and some went home
