    Well clearly not 09:00. Northern running late, there's a surprise!

    Dunno about that, a game against a near Lancashire rival where we always travel in big numbers. Always enjoy Oldham apart form the bitter cold.

    Won't be going. Spent a fortune and put the miles in through December and got nothing for it. I know it's right on our doorstep but I have better things to do. Never thought I'd say that about City but it's just the way I'm feeling. Oldham in dire form lost the last 3. If there's ever a chance to give someone a good drubbing this is the game. I just can't see him going for the win though so I don't think it's worth going. Would love to be proved wrong but can't see it.

    Funnily enough now I remember one of the times we went to Bury by tram. Eldest had just started at Manchester Uni, he was just 18 but looked a lot younger. The Metrolink assistant on the platform kept asking me how old he was so I kept telling him and then he said he only looks 16 which means you can get this family ticket!! I was a bit slow on the uptake there!!!

    I’d advise people to check from Halifax too, it’s on the same route. I managed to get an outgoing from Halifax to Victoria at 10:17, I get on at Pudsey but can’t miss a bargain.

    Correct. Ironically I am away when we play Oldham and I actually get back on 2/2/2020, so that is probably why l mixed the dates up. Mills Hill is on the Chadderton/Middleton boundary area and is suburbia, nothing much there. The Rose of Lancaster pub is on the walk to to Boundary Park.

    About 5 minutes walk from Mills Hill. I'm sure I've done RoL before, many years ago but didn't end up walking but got a taxi.....too many sherbets

    It is a JW Lees house, not my favourite pint at all but nothing wrong with it. Close to the brewery! https://www.roseoflancaster.co.uk/

    Cheers chaps much appreciated. I just booked some to manchester victoria, hoping to get match tickets now.

    Wife even thinks she is getting something out of it, as ive told her ive booked her and the 2nd daughter onto the train too so she can have a shopping day. Wont let it on it cost 20p


    Just a note to anyone booking, the server is really slow so might take a few goes to get payment through

    The other option was Rochdale, but again they do not seem to be available. I guess the Manchester Victoria journey makes a lot of sense. If you travel by tram to Westwood then it is a zone 1-3 & costs £4.20 return. If you are going with kids and a mate, then ‘A family travelcard is for group travel on Metrolink trams for one to three children (aged under 16) accompanied by one or two adults and costs £6.90 https://tfgm.com/public-transport/tram/ticket-prices/zones/1/2/3?search=/public-transport/tram/ticket-prices The advantage over the bus is that the trams leave from Victoria station and should be every 6 minutes.

    @Bigrod@Bigrod , cheers i spotted yours as i finished uploading my post. Yeah that has made things a bit better getting the tram. I looked at buses and they were coming up as 10 min journeys, walk 20 mins then jump on another bus. It wasnt looking good in peak traffic but this is much easier

    And, yes, if you don't mind the walk back to the tram stop, you'll have an hour to spare.

    Here is the alternative by bus, l prefer the tram and use it to get around Manchester.
