Bloody trains!

i can't get to the match tonight now as i've just found out that again there are no trains running from Horwich Parkway after 9.30pm .

Couple this with the closing of Bolton station for 5 months at weekends and the knock on effect this will have on me getting to the match, i'm thoroughly fed up, it's almost like they don't want me to go to the games.

And before the usual suspects pipe up about being a shit fan, no i can't walk home to Burnage. Rant over!

You would have thought that on weekday match days that they would have put trains on at Horwich Parkway.

Am I missing something?

Can't believe that they will be closing Bolton station on weekends though to fix the bridge, it is going to be chaos and the replacement buses are terrible!

You would have thought that they would be working on it in the early hours to reduce disruption!

it's something to do with electrical improvements on the line KP, but you would think they could do it a bit later at night, but nevermind i'll be on the chatbox later.

i'll have to see how it affects me next season, the work is meant to start May to October so i may end up missing a few games at the start of next season.

i've been a season tixcket holder since 1995 they should send a car to pick me up i think

It's just excuses.

I once hitch-hiked from Little Lever to Hull with several dodgy characters just to make a Friday night game at Hull.

Ponce.

i knew i could rely on you Nat for a kind word of consolation. You could always offer to drive me home, i'd make it more than worth your while

Shouldn't they be putting on replacement bus services?

according to all the train websites the first one after the game is not till after 11pm so by the time i got home it would be nearly 1 in the morning.

Some things are too obvious to have to state.

Sorry, we live in different directions. Plus, I have an image to uphold.

any other Nutters live in Manchester and drive to the games? i would chip in some petrol money.

Can you not jump on one of the buses outside the ground after the match then get a train from Bolton?

From memory, the one that goes down Chorley Old Rd gets to Moor Lane in about half an hour.

I was just going to suggest this

I could but the last train is at 10.38,  only just caught it last week and that game kicked off earlier
