Mobius, mate, question for ya.

I've just bought a cup final ticket for Arsenal v Chelsea at Cardiff on Sunday, after my name came up in a ballot for recent high attendance. Is there a town outside of Cardiff that it's possible to park in and get a train from? You're going to that as well...?

Pity I haven't gotten round to fixing the garage in my new flat yet, cos I would have said park it in there but the door is currently 'manual' and I haven't even checked if it rolls up without any dramas yet cos I'm a lazy ****er. Otherwise I do have a spare visitor's permit going for a street just 5 mins from the stadium - but I'm guessing those will be illegally parked on really early anyway... Caerphilly is a good idea actually, not that I have ever had to try it!

Or, any other good advice you can offer? I've heard that waiting a couple of hours after the match before attempting to drive anywhere is a good idea. That's what the pubs are for!

I was also wondering whether any A/B road routes other than the motorway might be less tedious than heavy motorway traffic on the way out, which I hate. Depends where you end up. from Caerphilly you would take the A468 to J28 of the M4 and cross over onto the A48 bypassing to the S. of Newport which is new and mostly dual carriageway. Follow that to Chepstow and join the M48 at J2 across the Severn Estuary then M4...
