6:30pm on Friday evening.

Overnight in Watford then Wembley about 11am for a few beers.

6.55am from Manchester Piccadilly.

Last year I went from Reading festival and couldn't sleep so I just set off at the crack of dawn and was outside the ground at 9am.

No Reading this year?

Sadly not. Been the last nine though so I've had a good run.

8-9 ish fri morning, Wilkes tavern (gandys trip)

He actually said the first challenge cup final back at the new Wembley would be the last trip he organised...Looks like he had a change of heart....

17:20 Friday.

Same as last year.Springbrook car park for 7am saturday morning.

Good one Marcian, I did a similar trip from Toronto last year arrived back in Manchester Thursday morning before Wembley. Straight over to the HJ to cheer the team off. Jet lagged for the rest of the day but the highs of the Wembley trip soon sorted that out

Have a good flight.

Anyway Friday morning departure for our group.

Well last year I flew back from Minnesota early in time for the final. This Warrington doing good thing really messes with my travelling! :p

8am Saturday morning..... kids say they aint getting up any earlier...lol

Same.

How can you let them go to bed when there's a cup to be won. Plenty of time for that after.

Oh, come on Fearnhead Cross, get a grip of your thread !

You'll never co-ordinate everybody to leave at the same time unless you tell us the meeting point..........

Sorry mate - I'll go to the naughty step

9am on the wire flyer. Can't wait.

Picking up my daughter who is coming into Manchester Airport from New York at 8.00 on saturday then straight down to Wembly. Hope the planes not late or the customs aren't awkward!

7.30 from st james court..not got a clue what coach im on..crack open 1st can at 6 that morning along with a 6 bacon 2 eggs 4sausages beans and 6 rounds of toast brekky ,to soak up all that whisky and beer

Doubt ill be able bring myself to start drinking at 6am have a couple of hours sleep on the coach first then start drinkin probably save alot of the crate for drowning sorrows or celebrating on the way back

5 of us going by car, set off at 7am last year had a great drive down never hit traffic until Wembley, however, Leeds will take double Fartown did might set off a little earlier me thinks

Go down the M40 you'll miss them all

same here...although we won't be leaving so early ...coming from Brackley, Northants..quick drive over to Banbury then train direct to Wembley..sorted.

I take it youve never spent 3 hours in a car with two tired and irritable FEMALE kids!....

I drove last year but letting someone else do the work this so not sure what time we'll be leaving yet. Hoping to be picked up from mine at about 6:00, picking up a mate in Appleton by 6:20 then down to our last pickup in Birmingham for 8:00. Bacon butties then leave Birmingham by 9:00 arriving at our hotel in Hemel Hempstead for 11:00.

That's all hoping, reality is likely to be quite different (always feel uncomfortable when relying on ther people - no reason to feel uncomfortable as all are very reliable, but uncomfortable nevertheless).

Fair enough, point taken.
