    I'm getting married in Gretna before the game so we better win so not upset the day!

    ACDriver, your welcome. Expensive these away games so when you can save a few quid it is nice to spread the word

    Think I may do Carlisle again, not been there for 26 years.

    We only get promoted in the North West

    FOD, good idea! Can be a bit naughty Carlisle so have to be a bit discreet in town though.

    RandC/Get in quick as the tickets can go quickly and the price shoots up alarmingly

    Kimbo/For advanced train travel you can generally start looking ten weeks before the game, is much much cheaper generally than a couple of weeks before the game

    I'm braving the train for the first time to this one with Sir Don & Simon. Missed out on the £16 outward ticket but managed to get the £16 homeward. Total of £39 so not bad, I guess.

    What time are you guys leaving Euston ?

    I'm just looking into trains to oldham....but there doesnt appear to be a station anywhere near the ground? Does anyone know what the best bet for getting there is?

    CAFCC/Go on to the virgin trains site

    A4L/You have to go to Manchester Piccadilly. They do not have a train station due to , I believe, an extension to their tram link. You have to get a bus, about 4 an hour, that takes 30 minutes. Sounds aggro but I assure you no problem as long as you give yourself an hour to get their from Piccadilly station.

    If you are getting really high prices then check the train prices for Euston to Carlisle or Manchester for whatever game you are considering. I was getting silly quotes to Huddersfield the other day but cheap to Leeds and then a cheap single over from Leeds.
