Its miles mate. Theres a footy Bus. On the link below, just click Reading when on the site and it gives you details on what bus to catch and it does give you directions to walk. But when i went in the Fa cup a few years back, It took Ages !

Three Guineas mate right outside the train station, then get the football special bus (no 79) which takes you to and from the ground for around 2.50

Cutz, there is usually a cheaper discounted fare button/link above the more expensive fares table on the Virgin Trains site. I got a return ticket Bournemouth - Reading for £18, just last week. One from New Street should be under £30. But if you don't click the button, they will only show standard fares, which as you say, are very expensive!!

Good luck! **thumbup

Lol, cheers but i am totally confused on there, i set it all up and it says direct cross country service to reading, 1 hour and 30 mins, i click buy tickets and it changes to three trains taking 3 and a half hours and the price is sky high, cant find discount button either.

Cutz

EDIT: I have found the cheapest so far to be 50 quid for 2 adult tickets return from new street to reading, quick times etc, but the website is www.raileasy.co.uk, dont know whether i can trust anyone but virgin.

Cheers mate, also tried doing the 2 singles on the Virgin website, works a treat. Just under 25 quid return. If i have a concession ticket for the game but am 16 as it was under 16s, you reckon i could get a childs ticket on the train for under 16s?

Can you get done for fraud if they find out you are lieing about your age ?

I would still risk it,chances of getting caught are realy slim.
