Footballers on the tube
I see Coventry City had to use the tube to get to their game QPR.
However to quote Mickey Adams "We bought 23 single tickets at Hanger Lane station and our unsung hero was Jay Tabb, who knew we had to change at Hammersmith to go to Shepherd's Bush."
He couldn't have been that much of a unsung hero, why go to Hammersmith? I've always got off at White City to go to QPR.

Hangar Lane To Shepherds Bush Market via Hammersmith ?!?! How did they do that then? Seems a bit pointless when Shepherds Bush and White City are on the central...
Never mind, at least they did better than CSKA, who suffered are similar fate a few weeks back in Moscow...

Aha, so they arrived at Hanger Lane hoping to take the sensible route on the Central line, somehow managed to buy their tickets there, and then found out about the closure, so then went on a short warm-up jog over to Park Royal, where they took the Piccadilly Line and changed at Hammersmith.
Either that, or Mickey Adams was so horribly confused about where he was that it was only the unsung heroic efforts of Jay Tabb that stopped them from ending up in Amersham.

Probably the Daily Mail being crap, as they usually are, but at least I'd think the route from Gunnersbury would involve a fairly certain change at Hammersmith - but getting to the central line from there would not be fun... in fact, the more I look at this muddle, the more confused I get... so I'm going to leave it here!
The DLR goes to Lewisham. The question is, why?

they might have got off the M1 at brent cross, got on the north circular and parked at the first available tube station. the first you come to is hanger lane, and the second is gunnersbury. i think.jonny wrote:Im not particularly good at road navigation, but coming from Coventry, I doubt theyd have been at Gunnersbury.

Or probably more likely just gone straight down the M40/A40 to Hanger Lane. Or M40/A40, A312 down to the M4, then off at Gunnersbury. Obviously they'd have needed somewhere with a parking space big enough for a coach though.Zeibura wrote:they might have got off the M1 at brent cross, got on the north circular and parked at the first available tube station. the first you come to is hanger lane, and the second is gunnersbury. i think.jonny wrote:Im not particularly good at road navigation, but coming from Coventry, I doubt theyd have been at Gunnersbury.
