I know, I got that on the way to the Wrexham game a few weeks ago because of strikes by Arriva staff
The majority of fans going on the day will change at Stockport though I would have thought but if anyone was going into Manchester for a few pre-match beers they could catch that train to Alty so hopefully the tram issues shouldn't really affect anyone.

Or...... alternatively wake up and realise you dont live in Victorian England and you can take your horseless carriage direct to the ground. Trains and trams FFS.

That's our plan, getting to Manchester early for a look round the National Football Museum, then go for a few Mulled Wines round the Christmas market, onto the Brewdog for a few cheekys and catch the 2:17 to Alty

You can't beat an away day on the train with your mates though, in my opinion. You can have a beer or seven, no one has to worry about drink-driving and there's a loo with a few yards when you need to go (several times usually after a skinful of beer)

I just prefer to be in control.

I'd don't really think I'd like to have been in control for some of the games I've seen in the past.

Is Alty one of the those grounds where you can swap ends at half time?

| In a neat little town they all call Grimsby Apprentice to a tradeI was bound And many's an hour's sweet happiness Have I spent in this neat little town.
A sad misfortune came over me Which caused me to stray from the land Far away from my friends and relations Never Betrayed by the black and white band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair hung over her shoulders Tied up with a black and white band. |

To each their own, I love the train journeys, noone has to stay sober, it´s all part of the day for me! Beers on the train, rolling straight into the town centre and finding decent boozers, not having to worry about parking etc.... all that, and the fact that I don´t have a car.
