    The tram is included if your journey is between two stations in Greater Manchester. So, for example, Rochdale to Stockport tickets include the tram.

    Therefore, if you split tickets into Bradford to Rochdale, Rochdale to Stockport, Stockport to Crewe/Newport/wherever your tram journey between Victoria and Piccadilly would be included.

    I knew it was complicated. Why they just don’t say it is free if you have rail tickets beggars belief. I have seen ticket inspector groups at stations outside the central zone, but never between the two rail stations/Manchester city centre area.

    Or as they have no inspectors on the trams, just hop on and hop off without paying............................ norty me. Never done it really, I'm an honest lad. Honest.

    Over the years I've been checked a few times in the central zone, but not that often. They are occasionally on board but, more often than not, they are at Piccadilly and Victoria tram stations.

    could be a blessing if our game is off this Saturday.
    Gives a few tired limbs, knocks and bruises more time to recover and play Newport when their season is well and truly over.

    Doesn’t work like that. I wonder if Forest Green and Sutton thought we’d be a pushover last season when our season was over and they had everything to play for.
    It’s a long journey to Newport on a Tues night.

    Hughes confirmed that Osadebe, Derbshire, Oliver and Nevers still have knocks but all should be back to full training in time for the Hartlepool game. Will be the same squad that travelled to Walsall.

    You don't believe the hype from the MSM do you??
    It's crap like that , that gets schools to text parents to pick there kids up early from school, like today .
    I drove 24 miles across West Yorkshire and it took me 45 mins.
    No issues

    Totally agree VW. The chuffing snowflake culture is really boiling my piss over the last couple of years and seems to be getting worse and that is why I hardly take any notice of the news. Scaremongering swines

    Note: This is a general comment and is in no way referring to @Kevin1954@Kevin1954 as a snowflake so no offence intended kev! :joy:

    No we all just ignore it. If it’s below 5 I stay in bed, gone are the days where we scraped the car at 06.00.

    If I do need it I press a button on a phone app :coffee: and it’s completely defrosted the car in 15 mins and toasty and warm inside.That’s the kinda snowflake I am these days:thumbup:

    On a serious note , yesI do take notice of the weather forecast…when I want to go fishing.

    Even more important than winning our games in hand, then, because for a few teams this will be their game in hand going forward

    Osadebe, Derbyshire and Oliver all bench options. Bola and Kelly probably drop. Other would be Chapman or Banks.
