A few weeks away yet, but this could be the biggest attendance Victory Park have had for many a year with it being a title cruncher. Come on Chester beat those Leigh stealing body-snatchers.

Think Marske requested it given how far they’re travelling. Bit of a trek at 2 days notice.

Why are the replays so soon after the original tie? Surely there's more chance of a better game/crowd with a bit more notice?

The next round is a week on Saturday (I think) so common practice, especially at this sort of stage of the season

I'd still suggest Wednesday would work better ;-)

really looking forward to the trip to kendall on saturday 

up the colls 

10:25 from Wigan for us and either a taxi from Oxenholme or chance the rail replacement lottery given it’s only a short ride away. Train costs the same to Kendal as it does Oxenholme so worth a go either way. 

battle bus for us

“A few” being an understatement. Easily done for the players when they’re only starting supping at half 5 but no chance of managing it all day!

Killing a bit of time in " Harry's Bar " before the train up Norf, so no chance for me.

Bit of luck, a rail replacement bus laid on to Kendal from Oxenholme, and the same back.

 

I trust you'll be screaming scab at the driver and walking by way of protest

Engineering work on the track that day so it would have been RR anyway, but as a point of principle, the stagecoach bus runs every 15 mins, so would have caught that.

After all the build up, every bugger pulled out of our Kendal day out because of work/illness so I’m going to Rotherham after all! Enjoy the day, gents. 

You missed a belter.

I can only imagine. Sounded a cracking score anyroad. 

Went to Chorley v Barrow. Great game. Despite dominating Chorley were 2 down at half time concedeing 2 Bolton type goals, the second a mix up between defender and keeper on the stroke of half time.   Unlike us Chorley stormed back with 3 quick goals in the 2nd half and saw the game out comfortably. 

Suprised to see SJM and Tony Kelly walk past us to the Directors box.  Kelly with notebook.  Only player of any pedigree on the pitch was Luke Burgess 19 yr old attacking midgielder ex Everton currently at Wigan but on loan to Barrow.  He scored and had a good touch but looked lightweight.  They left 15 mins from the end but almost took them until full time to get out as loads of Whites stopping them for photos/chat.
