Newcastle Utd v Fulham, 8th April 2002

As most of you will be aware, the away game against Newcastle United has been re-scheduled to take place on Monday 8 April in order to be screened live on Sky television as a pay-per-view event.

We appreciate that it's a challenging journey at the best of times and the decision to alter the date of the game subsequently means that the Club faces its longest trip of the season on a
weekday evening - this will obviously be a very time-consuming trip, affecting your work commitments and other activities.

We are therefore considering chartering either a train or plane (or both if there is sufficient demand) to Newcastle. A summary of each option is detailed below:

1) Train

Route: Kings Cross to Newcastle
Duration: 3 hours minimum
Capacity: 552 fans
Cost: £32 approx.

2) Plane

Route: Gatwick to Newcastle
Departure: 4.30pm approx. (returning around midnight)
Capacity: plane size depends on demand
Cost: £110 approx.

Why not take advantage and make it a special day out to remember culminating in what promises to be a fantastic Premiership match against one of the title contenders.
