When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Quoted from LH
I don't understand why people would be put off by an early kick off an hour and a half away. It's not like Plymouth away kicking off at 1230 or something is it?


Because I work Saturday mornings!

Mansfield is only 1hr 30 away.

If it was a 3pm kick off, you could comfortably leave work at 12, have a shower and be on the road for 1....

Now, what's one of the things Les is known for on this forum? Oh yes, it's his knowledge in working out the cheapest train fares to away games. I wonder why that is the case?

Exactly, I can usually get away up to half an hour early so for 3pm games I can make those fairly local but I would struggle to make it on Saturday if I got away at 11:30. I often take mornings off for longer away games I go to but I only have so many holiday days and most of them are already used up this year plus as has been mentioned I usually like to go on the train if I can't sort a lift.

Also, I saw someone mention on Facebook that there is only 1 train that will get you there in time for kick off and leaves Grimsby at 6:28am.

I don't know if that has but any off but you can get both the 07:34 or 08:34 from Gy to Sheffield and change there to get there in time. The 07:34 would get you to Mansfield at 11:06 and the 08:34 at 12:06.

...and have the jumbo haddock and chips at Steele's, nip for a wee swally Under the Clock, visit a seedy massage parlour and read War and Peace - piece of p1ss!


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

In order to have room for a swally
Also out of respect (? for the 'masseur'
Could I suggest the visit to Steels be last on that list 😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
