I'm thinking of travelling up from London for the Leeds match. Leave Richmond Saturday 6:00am, return 6:00pm (could come back early Sunday morning if it suits). Only thing slowing me down is post-Christmas poverty. Anyone want to share a lift. Approx. journey time 4 hours, unless you want to stop for a coffee/pee (no pun intended). Go on, you know it makes sense. Dan, Gav, anyone?

Screacher, if it's up and back same day, probably not. You see, being slightly unhinged, I normally squeeze in an 8 mile run at 11, before lunch at 12. That means I'm so shagged out that a pint would finish me off. Mind you, being a sensible if slightly eccentric individual I wouldn't partake anyhow if I was driving back that day. However, if I stay overnight I have no excuses for not showing up, other than you couldn't swing a cat in there on matchdays (unless it's black, in which case we'd each have a turn), and the fact that my Dad is highly suspicious of a bar with bouncers - the shaven headed type, not the sort that come with cup sizes. So the short answer is, it depends, but I hope so.
