Dave_Og Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 My nearest game and even so there is precious little chance of getting there for 7-45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Nope. He's done for a few years now... Take him whenever you can for at least the next 12 months or so. As soon as he starts walking you're :censored:ed until he's at least 4 or 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boysinblue Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Somehow Colchester is my most visited away ground in this league... and even though I'm off work not sure I fancy that trek again. Think it may be half an ear on Latics Player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downender Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 do you think they put any thought into mid week fixtures for lower league teams? surely its not beyond a simple computer programe to sort out fixtures to ensure minimum travel/distance for mid week fixtures? just saying like.....

deyres42 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Spare a thought for Carlisle fans who travel to Plymouth tomorrow night... Think I read that they have taken 1 point from their last 11 games there, a happy hunting ground it is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookersstandandy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Spare a thought for Carlisle fans who travel to Plymouth tomorrow night... What a joke - the football league should be ashamed. Clubs in the bottom two leagues - less Sheff United maybe - need the money.... and to arrange such a fixture and indeed 3 x Tuesday night away games for us down South is potty and inconsiderate.

MAC0AFC Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Does no one understand that us taking 300 fans down to Colchester on a Saturday or 150 on a Tuesday night doesn't make much more money for either clubs, whereas local games on a Saturday is going to bring far more money into the club...

yarddog73 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'd rather have Bury away on August Bank Holiday weekend than a trip down to Essex, many wont bother with Colchester on a Tuesday or a Saturday so it makes sense to me to play those games on Tuesday nights, I'm still gonna go though!

Never thought about like that im still fairly sure we would take near enough a full allocation to bury and dale mid week.

HarryBosch Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) you would be in the minority im sure Really? I'd much rather us make a day of it on the piss at Rochdale, Bury etc and take over their town centre... than go straight there from work. I'm unlikely to go to Colchester or Southend away whether it's on a Tuesday or a Saturday. Local aways on a Saturday, far flung southern hellholes on a Tuesday suits me down to the ground.
