Wigan away ?

[corkysbeard]

Is it alot of messing about going on the train from sheffield or is it easier going by car?
I've had a look on train timetable and its sayin almost 3hrs plus bus service on some part of the journey,if its like it was at bolton away this year then maybe car journey it is.......but no gargle

20 min train ride for me but not sure how far the ground is from the station?.
Getting hold of a ticket might also be an issue depending on allocation?. UTB

 

[Rodley]

Will be a big allocation.

Will be a big allocation.

Hoping it is. I'm in UK til the 4th.

As for public transport... It's new years day. Don't depend upon it!

2000 maximum

2000 maximum

Leeds got the whole stand 4,600. They don’t split the allocation in that stand between home and away fans, so no reason why they’d reduce our allocation.

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

We’ve got full stand too

About 25 minute walk from station, though need to check trains are running. No decent pubs encountered as you go towards an industrial estate. However, under the station in an arch is a classic sort of modern micropub with cracking ale. It’s for ale types if that floats yer boat. In town itself is your typical range of booozers but you are heading the wrong way from the ground but not by much.

Hope it’s warmer and drier than the last time I went

The one that got postponed from Boxing Day? That was fun, took my dad to it, he was quite surprised at how sweary we all were

It's a shit drive. I may think that because I got hopelessly lost coming home from a 1-1 on the Warnock years

what pub do all blades usually go

 

[Inter_blade83]

On the computer at the ticket office it looked like it said 3,500 sold when I bought mine on Monday.

Still plenty then!
