I don't see what a Saturday night piss up has got to do with all this. Firstly not all of the Swindon contingent would have been out tonight, some players, officials, Directors etc won't be in Manchester, its a players night out. The overnight is for the night before so the paty go-ers would have had to make their own way home tomorrow and pay for their stay tonight I guess.
With the cancellation they will now have had to pay for their journey up as well, bless.
