So, who's going on Sunday then?

Wish i was.

If I do go alone (nobody else wants to come) how would I find you?
 
Blacksword and I are meeting at a local public house beforehand, so we can fill up with beer and not have to pay £1,000,000 a pint later on.
 
Actually it's "only" £4 for a pint of Carlsberg. That's actually not much more than London pubs charge anyway.

Blacksword and I are meeting at this pub between 11:15 and 11:30 Sunday morning - you're welcome to join us. We will be the balding guys discussing the relative merits of Gabriel and post-Gabriel Genesis in the middle of a pack of West Ham fans.
 
Seriously we are balding and I will be wearing a Tinyfish T shirt.  If you come in the bar humming the intro to 20th Century Schizoid Man we should be able to find you.

Just discovered that the District Line is out from East Ham to Upminster and C2C services from Upminster aren't running either.

I'll have to go via Romford, which means arriving back there late Sunday night. Unhappy

I think they advise people not to arrive by car. You may be better off parking further away and getting the tube in.

"Car: There is no parking anywhere in the vicinity of Victoria Park so please come by public transport. Any car illegally parked will be towed."

Ian
it may be worth checking the Message Board on the HV web site. There's all sorts of information there, somebody may have started a thread about car parking (I was trying to check but I keep getting database connection errors at the moment).
 
I could rent you my drive way for a small fee. Wink

Maybe not event that - at their age they'll have to play everything a lot slower.
