    Train £36 return, first class
    Hotel £200, 2 nights (for 2 of us)
    Ticket £14
    Food £25
    Beer £8,750

    Total cost for 2 days £9,025. My missus says the bloody food's a bit pricey.

    Scary as f*ck too. I missed the Belgrade derby today, I was too late in planning it so that's one for next season.

    I read an article years ago about the Belgrade Derby.

    Apparently they are into humiliation loving if they get hold of some one from other mob.

    Really, really hoping for a play off final appearance...for I'm certain that Super Dyke will actually explode on the first morning of ticket sales...

    What would be humiliating about it? I love a good Serb.

    Maybe the humiliation is on the other side?

    Can we really afford two trips to Wembley? Behave.

    No you're right - come May, if we're there, we'll only have five or six thousand fans in Wembley, as the other 15-20k couldn't afford it twice...

    Ssh. Afford it? Whilst I've got internal organs I've got expendable assets! Then there's always the kids I could sell....

    In all honesty yes I can afford it without much of a worry. I know I'm more fortunate than some, and I suppose some might not be able to afford to go twice in six or seven weeks whatever it is. But surely it's a nice problem to have?

    Surely you'd prefer to not afford a second trip and us be at the playoff final than us not get there and so nobody misses out?

    I think the most cost effective way for that would be to:
    1 Charter a plane, this was once looked into for a Boxing Day game at Plymouth
    2 I'm sure the chaps at Euro-Star will charter us a couple of "SPECIALS"
    I reckon it will be 2019/20 season the cost won't be an issue saving up @ £4.00 per week

    I'm watching Hull KR vs Catalans in France on the Saturday the day before the L1 Play-off final, I'm in Newcastle the weekend before for super league's magic weekend then having a week in Spain leading up to the Hull KR game, we aren't due back in England until the bank holiday Monday......I've already told my Mrs I'm getting a Sunday morning flight back IF we do it!!!!!

    The bank balance is going to take a right hit in May if this happens.....but it would be worth every penny if we do it, you only live once, and after how low I felt at Altringham and S****horpe it would be 2 of the greatest months ever!!

    You're mental. I mean it in the nicest way possible, but you're absolutely mental. :)
