Tickets have now gone on sale through Virgin, single tickets are at £12.50, this is before any railcard discounts.

Alternative routes are via Liverpool and Manchester should tickets become more difficult/expensive direct to Wigan

    You may notice the new xx:43 train scheduled into the timetable, this now replaces the xx:20 service that started at Birmingham to Edinburgh. It's 50mins longer as still routed via Birmingham. On the plus side, this gives more trains available on the way back as they too terminate at Euston instead of Birmingham New St.

    There are already two championship games - Forest v Yeovil & Watford v Brighton - on Sunday that weekend so cant see Sky moving it. Plus its Newcastle v Sunderland and Man City v Chelsea so Sky have some big Premiership games to choose from also.

    Also it wont be moved if Wigan go through in the Europa League as the last 32 tie is normally towards the end of Feb.

    Match tickets will be cheap as chips, probably £15 with a 4k allocation.

    Got in there a couple of days ago at £25 return. Those prices have convinced a few more of our lot to join us for our annual northern train awayday. We get into Wigan at 11.47 I think.

    Cheers again Elfsborg.

    Is there not the possibility that if Wigan progress in Europa Cup it could be moved to a Sunday?

    You've not missed much. Souless northern town, with a 20 min walk to the "out of town" ground. (Sorry).

    .

    Those games aren't actually on Sky - our game against Forest is on Sky the previous Thursday so we've both moved the weekend games back but as you say there are those 2 big Premier league games.
