Indeed they do. My reason...I can't be arsed! You’ll no doubt be arsed for a play off final ticket though 😊 I won't. I'll be in Turkey for the play off final all being well.

It was 100 quid for Norwich which is extortionate, but on journeys of that distance it's comfortable the best way to travel still. It’s just a joke that you can fly abroad 3 or 4 times for that cost! No need to multiply x 3 or 4, x 2 is plenty, depends where abroad though.

Yay I’m going if I can get tickets. Problem is my 15 yr old grandson, who’ll come with me supports argyle. He doesn't support Man United/Liverpool/Arsenal etc so good on him

From SOT it's motorway all theway. Summer tourists fleeing down to Cornwall pass by with out a thought. Great city, and a walk along the Hoe on Sunday morning to take in the sea air and clear the head. PS if you are visiting the Barbican don't miss the Dolphin pub😉

Motorway stops at Exeter. Then it’s the A road. If you stop at Exeter Services on the way down for Sunday breakfast…..you’ve missed the game If you stay overnight then Cap'n Jaspers on the Barbican is the place for fat boys brekkie on Sunday morning.

Don’t think I’ll be there. Had CT scan this pm ( missed second half ). Results early next week but not looking great for Plymouth.

Train/ petrol prices being daunting... official coaches on the radar for once... Will they have a stop or head straight to the ground...?

Plymouth is further but likely to be a marginally quicker journey. Historically a short stops occurred on longer trips , in more recent times with modern more comfortable coaches and notably because many service stations now sell alcohol, stops are avoided when ever possible .. When it was just Leon’s, for longer trips they’d do a driver swap on the outward leg at Stafford , these days Leon’s tend to sub contract to Hills and Paul’s too .so driver swaps for all coaches harder to sort , one of the reasons coaches arrive early at the Brit is to balance the drivers hours Millwall , in recent years due to the congestion around Blackheath it’s often been a close thing re drivers running out of time .. though due to ‘goodwill’ and the fact that a fleet of coaches stopping around New Cross wouldn’t be the most sensible idea safety wise they battle on rather than stop and do battle ..often with minutes to spare both in time for the game and their hours .. Trips South of the river are becoming a serious logistical issue However , due to drivers hours believe the need for a short stop was being looked at in the planning for the Plymouth trip

Not all pensioners are poor. Their are some with plenty of money yes, but the majority havent Under the triple lock, State Pensions are expected to rise by 8.5% in April 2024 in line with earnings. This follows a 10.1% increase in line with Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation the previous year.

State Pension is hardly enough to live on which is why everyone is encouraged to try and save in a company or private pot. If you can, I strongly urge that you do. Certainly worked for me. That said, there are plenty of older pensioners who struggle financially, in part because they were unable to afford additional contributions. As a recipient of the State Pension (and having a company pension pot too - not final salary) I would not be against it being means tested (along with Winter Fuel allowance etc) if that meant the less well off were to get more

Also the inevitable mistakes and perceived injustice with borderline cases. Much better that it is universal with those of us lucky enough to have other income sources paying the appropriate level of tax on total income.

They don’t appear to hold back tickets specifically for general sale, but only blocks 22 and 23 have been released so far, with the whole of block 21 still to come. So he should be ok.
