They'd have been on cheapo off-peak returnd not covering Avanti trains. I've asked for a refund. Our train from Leeds was cancelled, the next one was cancelled, the connecting train Manc to Nantwich cancelled, train back from Crewe cancelled, train manc to Leeds cancelled . I asked for a refund been told the admin fee is bigger than the refund so no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fester58 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 for me that was the best away game of the season, easy to get to on the train, beltin away end,my only slight gripe was the pubs missed out on a fortune with the lack of staff they had, also a note to the lady sering behind the bar in the brunswick,it was much appreciated for you not to wear a bra 💖 for me the midfield is the issue looks like he tries to play 3 midfielders in a diamond, leaving morley to do the graft on his own. get dapo up top with dion and 3 midfielders morley,dempsey and sadlier for me.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted March 20, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2022 Cracking day out, few beers in Manchester then 13.55 train down. Straight back for more beers in Manchester and a scoop or 2 in Rawtenstall. can’t beat last minute away winners, been a few of them this season. That’s me done with aways this season but fab way to bow out. Enjoyed this season overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles better than the L1 promotion season for experiences, at least we're not turning up in massive numbers everywhere and losing 1-0 all the time like then!

Similar kind of away support to the 1992/3 & 1994/5 seasons but this time with the fearless youth we will probably end up averaging around 1600 great for a mid table L1 side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lays a strong base for away support next season already looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be because there are so many small and/or local grounds in this league, but I can't ever remember having to be so "prepared" to get a ticket for an away game. I'm sure we just used to turn up at 90% of grounds and pay on the day even at relatively local grounds, its stopped me going to a few coz I'm not organised enough to know in advance if I'm definitely going, by which time its too late. Just checked crowd for Wigan away in April 93 when Kelly scored his wonder goal and we were a month from promotion, it was 5,408, I'm sure we all paid on the gate to stand on the terrace. If that was now about 8,000 of us would turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good point that don’t recall many sell outs perhaps that these days it’s all over social media and back then it was communicated via the BEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only had 2,000 tickets and there was another 1,000 of us in the home end. I reckon we'd have had 5-6000 there that day had it been pay on the day with the right capacity. I think the away end capacity had been reduced because the grass bank had to be fenced off. I take your wider point though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take your wider point though. Well remembered. We had STs but couldn't get tickets for the reduced away end. Had someone decided after 20 years that the grassed slope and cowshed were h&s risks? As always, we took over their ground that day too. Watched it from the side in front of the main stand, outnumbering them by about 2 to 1, with Wanderers songs sang all game.
