In the unlikely event I get this past him indoors, what's the club - organised bus travel like with kids in tow? Would really like to go to Coventry to see some old friends, and could take my eldest, (7) but need some pre match time to meet the Cov folk. Am I better off on my own? Am I better off on the train? (chinny)
Official coach time arriving does vary. Usually sometime between 1:30 and 2pm. You could catch a pub coach, which usually set off about 2-3 hours earlier, so you would be in Coventry for midday. Although rowdy men on a coach, getting drunk isn't really a place for young children. Train is an option, but is probably expensive at such short notice. There could be a carpark at the Rioch (with it being a new ground you would think so) and so I guess driving could happen.
Looked at train a couple of days ago £21 which was ok ... then I saw kids offer with STand thought I'd do the bus. I drive all over Yorkshire with my job, so I'm happy to leave car at home given hals a chance. I'll probably end up not making a decision & missing it.
Car parking at the Ricoh is very limited and very expensive. We parked here last year...... http://www.walktrot.com/new_page_4.htm#footpp and booked again for this year.

In addition, where possible we would encourage everyone who takes up the offer to travel on the Trust Supporters Coach that we will be running to this game.
RE: Fiona, are you a supporters trust member? Yes ... that's what's got me thinking... I'd like to take my eldest, but the bus from the club could prohibit us from meeting the folks I want to see ... plus from Sheffield I could well be better off on the train. All theoretical at this stage anyway. We could be away that weekend. Will have to get it sorted though.. good opportunity & all that.
