If you are getting a train on the Manchester - Stockport - Chester line, you'll be wanting Lostock Gralam as your destination station if you want to walk to the ground.
As for transport in mid-cheshire, it's the middle of nowhere, it really is. Your walk from the station will be alongside trees and fields. It's the countryside and a half! A taxi from Manchester to Northwich is about 50 quid, so I imagine that it would be about the same from Chester too.
Is going on a club coach not really the done thing for you guys? At our level, it's pretty much the only way to go unless you are driving.
This is a heavy cup schedule for Parkinson,with the televised Southampton JPT game on the 11th of November. Do you think he will use two different teams for these two games and who will play against Northwich and who against Sothampton. A;so when was the last time Charlton appeared live on two televised games within a week if ever.
Sods law, I thought that this might be on the telly and was hoping for a Saturday lunch time or tea time kick off. The reason? I'm, seeing Saxon (with support from th mighty Anvil) at the Koko Club on Sunday night. Even with a mad dash down the motorway I'll never make it back home (no way I'm parking in the Camden Town area), get out again and make the gig on time.
Looked at the trains and it looks like there could be three changes and a round trip of about 4 hours. I might as well try going to Aberdeen via Penzance! So looks like I'll be missing it, I'm not giving up the 30 quid I paid for the gig ticket.
As if the fates haven't been cruel enough to me already with the Bristol Rovers home game conspiring to be on the same day as the wife's birthday- and if I value what is dear to me I'll be missing that one too!

Me and the boy "Stop Shouting" are all over this like the cheapest of cheap suits. Shame the ground is an out of town affair but am still looking forward to some terracing, drinking, and a routine victory from Charlton.........er, yeah, terracing and drinking anyway
Sod it, Saturday, telly or not, would've gone to the game, but the Sunday too awkward for me with personal arrangements. It's coming round so soon, too soon to sort out matters....shame.
Am gutted! Was going to meet an old mate of mine who lives up there now & then take in the game! Now its Sunday i can't, having my barnet done, no way i can change that this time of year :-(

Are you sure that both matches will be shown? Not according to the OS.
If this is true, I'm sure that it's never happened before. I don't even think that we've ever had two games on live in the same month before.

Typical girl. Can't go to footie as I'm having my hair cut on that day in 2 weeks time :-)
Typical girl, crikey, thats a first! My hairdresser runs 3 saloons & only works 2 days @ the Blackheath saloon i go to. Believe it or not women try & get as many 'do's' in before the Xmas Party season. As such i booked this appointment 2 months ago! Things we do to look good for you boys ;-)

Euston - Crewe
Crewe - Hartford
Leaves Euston at 9.15 arv at Hartford 11.50. You can easily get a cab to ground/pub from Hartford as its on the edge of Northwich.
;-)
possibly, when I am in Frankfurt I now get ITV on hotel tv when I stay at Hilton - best to check with hotel

Certainly not for 2 cup games anyway.
Like 8ish I spose, and like £15-£20 odd I bet
via Stockport i reckon
can't believe how bad the trains are on a Sunday, Sat lunchtime would've been alright...
