Chris, you can't not go now that you've been appointed as coach/manager.
Colin, I know its crap (and sod's law I'd miss the first game after this was arranged), but I can't make it. Looks like all the cheaper train tickets have been taken, I've checked virgin, national, trainline, (though they all seem to use the same system anyway), and each one the cheapest ticket is £69 return. Shouldn't be an issue in the future though as I'm close to being able to legally drive!
