Whose going and whose staying Sat night for a few refreshments?

- probably drowning sorrows (we have much experience).

Will be there Friday and Saturday night. Where's good for pubs Paddock?

Will be there, and overnight.

Agree can't see England beating Australia or Wales beating Australia A (Italy)

Yup and the ticket inspector

9am out of Reading I think

Staying over Sat night

Shall we say Prince of Wales post match to start with - that's the Wetherspoons on the corner of St Mary St and Wood St (5 mins from Stadium).

Driving down with the kids as I have the NFL the next day at Wembley. Does anyone have any useful parking suggestions? Park and Ride, central Cardiff car park etc. TIA.

Also driving for day with kids. Normally use park and ride it's about a tenner but includes the bus and saves faffing around in the city centre

Just spotted that the trains are taking about an hour longer - looks like work in the Severn Tunnel so Swindon to Newport is via Gloucester!!! Well planned Notwork Rail

On the 8.45 from Paddington, and yes great planning means a 3 hour trip! Still should be there in time for a few refreshments first

Sidcup Massive will be there Friday and Saturday (going home Sunday morning on train via Timbuktoo)



Look forward to seeing you in the pub.

We'll be there - can't wait!!

We wil be there Friday night. See you all in the pub if you're coming the day before.

On the 8am coach from Victoria on Saturday, coming back after the second game, it's going to be a long old day.

and will be on 19.07 after game back to Laaarrrddddoooonnnn.

Me, Brandy & Stella and the magical mystery tour via Gloucester and a few other outposts, JUST CLASSIC AWAY TRIPS

Wife & I will be there, not sure of arrival, out and about after.

In Friday out Sunday...

Going in search of some decent beer!

I was wondering why my return trip is an hour longer, fark..

Coming down on the train from Gobowen and then back on the 19.34.

Thanks to Paddock's freebies, Lister and I will be doing the same. Now I can't get the Divine Comedy out of my head...

Myself & 9 others are down Friday Night back Sunday!

A quick warning for those returning by train on the day. Last time I went to Cardiff, for the Challenge Cup final, I had a specific train reservation at about 8.00. On returning to the station it was chaos and on asking if I could get into the station as my train was due I was told no, I'd have to queue as no specific timed tickets should have been issued post match. I managed to get on my last connecting train. There have been lots of big events since then and hopefully it is a thing of the past. Possibly worth checking on arrival though.

Illness permitting I'm driving this time, lots of antibiotics in me so no pubs this time.

Heading to Bristol after work tommorow evening for a couiple of nights in Bristol
along with Sarf Essex Taff.
Hope to see you all there on the day pre match.

Planning to go for the day - now worried about trains!

If that is a reference to my post its only fair to record the process of getting people on trains was smooth. I just nearly came a cropper due to a combination of an early last connection and not being allowed on the train I had booked, which was one of the later ones anyway.

There will be a lot of passenger assistants around tomorrow if you have concerns just check on arrival whether specified train tickets will be valid, if not factor that into your arrival time at the station.

Millennium Stadium is a regular host to big events. I suspect they will be on top of it now.
