Car fuelled up ( plus tip tanks), ready to trek North

Went last year, soulless depressing, slightly run down athletics stadium. The roof has blown off the away seating area, not good for a game this far north! Giving this one a miss, but I am sure we will have an amazing following once again!!

Why is it cheaper for non members to travel on the Trust coach ??

Well that clears that up.

You might be able to wangle a reduction through a ‘personal negotiation’ with the driver @borientater , but personally I’d say paying up in full sounds like the way to go.

I can’t see anything on our site or theirs (either their OS or the ticketing site) which confirms either way.

If I were you I’d buy online in advance if you can just to be sure. If you can’t do that for any reason, probably best to call them to check before setting off.

I can’t see why they wouldn’t accept payment on the day - it’s not like the place will be chock full, or that there’s any specific concerns about crowd trouble etc. You’ll outnumber the home fans all on your own.

My thoughts exactly!. Only difference when we used to do that, Cardiff 3 times, Morecambe, Grimsby etc, we'd drive there on the morning of the game & stay overnight after.
Main difference was driving back in daylight the following morning & not darkness.

Tickets bought for me and the boy. First time to Gateshead. Thinking will drive and stay over somewhere Saturday night, as the coach journey time is… unpalatable

Very true re daylight, our preference is normally cheaper stay Friday and having all of Sunday at home.

Can't be as bad as travelling on 'The Brothers Grimm' coach's back in the 70's?. Many motorways still to be constructed, & many a time the coach broke down adding a couple of hrs or so to the long journeys!.

I hope it won’t be as bad as that!!
Must have a fair few great memories from those roads trips tho?

Oh yes, too many to mention!. But one that stands out was our F.A cup 3rd rd game at Peterborough in Jan 74. It was very dodgy in the ground to say the least, and afterwards waiting by our coach's were the local Hells Angel Chapter!.
That was because in 72, some of them got thrown over the wall down Pier Hill on a Bank Hol Mon!.
And to cap a very bad day, the coach broke down (!) at Huntingdon for nigh on 2 hrs, we lost 3-1 & Peterborough drew Leeds at home in the next round!.

I’m just pulling your leg

Looks like the proof reading was a fail this time doesn’t it?

This is the problem document for anyone who hasn’t spotted it (the Trust has been magnificent recently so I think we can let them off!):
