Carpooling

Just realised we lost the carpooling thread when the new forum began a few months ago, so I thought I’d restart it. That thread was pinned to the main forum, so hopefully that can happen again!

To start the thread, would anyone going to Northampton on Saturday be willing to pick me up from Oxford services?

I live in Oxford and I can get a bus out to the service station, but I have no way of getting to Northampton otherwise cos the usual people I go to away games with aren’t around this weekend. It basically isn’t even a detour at all if going on the M40-A43 route to Northampton, which seems to be the quickest way from Wycombe. And I promise I’m decent company as others can attest to (@ewanhoosaami @Glenactico ) , plus I can pay a share of the fuel! Cheers

Would it be an idea to arrange a bit of a ‘meet up’ one day, maybe before a home game somewhere at the ground where those ever interested in carpooling and just introduce themselves and have a burger / drink together or something? I know it might sound a bit weird, but might help people feel more comfortable with offering lifts etc? Just a thought! Maybe near this talking bench thing ive heard about?

Sorry I can’t help for the Northampton game as I already have a full car unfortunately but hopefully someone can help you.

@WanderingDays I could give you a lift tomorrow if you still need it. Though it would be easier to pick up from either Peartree or Redbridge as I’m Oxford based. Not sure how to send a private message. @OxfordBlue can you help?

I can share @WanderingDays email with you privately if he confirms that’s ok!

Hello, I’ve actually already very kindly been offered a lift by someone else (@ewanhoosaami) , but I hugely appreciate the offer! Thank you so much @Glenny! We should definitely get in touch regardless though because this could be a good opportunity, so @OxfordBlue please feel free to send over my email address

This is a shout out to anyone near or in the south West London area, me and my son would like to attend more home matches at AP.

Anyone driving to Mansfield tomorrow from the London area? For some weird reason, the trains are fully booked.

Or even the Wycombe area!

I can still see some trains on Uber @Oakwood_Exile but they’re not cheap!

You’re not wrong! I’ve booked a train but I can get a refund if some kind soul offers me a lift.

Good luck. I’ve got next to no chance with the Missus this weekend, I’ve pushed my luck enough with getting in extra cheeky away days!
