Wonder if they’ll be selling fish pies?

[deyres42]

Bit odd given that the rugby will be playing away at St. Helens same day around the same time.

No.. They would have moved earlier than now, but they had to wait to see if Wigan Warriors were home or away on Good Friday.

Advance rail tickets are normally only released 12 weeks in advance aren't they? What was the benefit of buying them now?

[kev1969]

Go them for about £12 for four people 

[pk200]

I'm sure it was only about a fiver return if you bought on the day the last time we played them.

[kev1969]

No lol. Just remember the good deal last time usually say yes will get them and forget and then pay alot more may as well again this time lol.

Notice the train service on the day is now a bus service.

Seemingly it’s the service between Rochdale / Mills Hill and Victoria that is a bus service. Services from Manchester to Wigan seem OK

I retract the FFS then.

[rudemedic]

The disruption is due to Victoria being shut to ALL trains over the Easter Weekend.

Met is running OK and no issue from Piccadilly.

[the_mighty_bosh]

So onto Friday then.

 

In the context of the relegation battle, a draw would be a good result.  The minimum I'm hoping for though is a good performance that we can continue into the Blackpool game.

 

2 defeats over the Easter weekend and I'd be worried about our chances of survival.

[deyres42]

Regulation 2-0 home win, 1600 travelling supporters.

[Monty Burns]

Away win. 1864 away winners.

[kowenicki]

Draw. 1895 tics. 

 

I predict I will be cold and wet by the time I take my seat.

Good Friday is designed for getting on the lash in your local, not football at 1pm.

Accidental downboat think I cancelled it but anyway, good friday is actually designed for recovery from Super Thursday. If that involves Football then bonus, probs get back on it. Sunday is the best loads off next day. Beware Danger Monday ?

Spare a thought for the millions of us not afforded this state spondored mini freedom.
