Re: Away Following Saturday
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2010 5:33 pmIf we weren't in such a poor run of results then I would have said 400-600.
Realistically now it will be between 200-350.
Hopefully there was enough of a performance in the second half to convince a few that it will be worth a trip. Valley Parade is still a big day out and a bit of a derby. Maybe we can just grab our first win there - if we don't gift them a handful of goals!

Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2010 5:33 pmRather unusually we seem to take good (in relative terms for our away following) numbers to Bradford. I say unusually because it is expensive to get in and we have generally been really crap there. We had about 400ish last season on a Tuesday night. I'll plump for that again, despite our league position. I'm going from Manchestoh on the train, if anybody wants to make my journey less tedious, please get in touch. A day return will be about £8 max from Manc to Brad.
Edit: £6.45 cheap day return with a railcard

Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2010 7:17 pmAnyone know how far it is from the train station to the stadium?
Re: Away Following Saturday
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2010 7:19 pmIf going by train into Bradford Interchange, it is quite a walk to the ground (20 minutes). Either take a taxi (£3.50) or alternatively the bus station is located next to the train station (Bus No's 622, 623, 626 or 662). Chris Hawkridge suggests; 'supporters travelling via Leeds should catch the Leeds - Bradford Forster Square service (two trains per hour during the day) rather than those to Bradford Interchange. Forster Square is only 10 minutes walk from the ground'.

www.google.co.uk and 30 seconds research found it to be a 1.3 mile walk.

Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2010 8:12 pmI'm having a weekend in Leeds and making the short journey to Bradford on saturday for just £2.40 return after paying £2 for a return national express ticket to Leeds from Manchester.
Shame the £20 admission makes the travel savings insignificant!

Re: Away Following Saturday
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2010 8:32 pmThats the reason i'm not going...Extortionate admission prices adult £20 and my two under elevens would be £12 each........Not right cos there under elevens pay a £12 fee they see all home games for free.........Said after last season would'nt go there again..............Away following 280.....

Re: Away Following Saturday
Posted: Thu Sep 30, 2010 6:53 pmI'm driving to Bradford, but can't decide the best route, all take about the same time -
1. A roads Skipton way - 60 miles
2. M6/M65 & some A roads - 70 miles
3. Motorway all the way - 80+ miles
What do most people think ?

Re: Away Following Saturday
Posted: Thu Sep 30, 2010 7:07 pmI will be going the A roads about 55 miles. The motorways a whopping 88 miles. 66 miles longer for the journey. Lots of pennies saved if you have the time to set off a wee bit earlier.
Re: Away Following Saturday
Posted: Fri Oct 01, 2010 8:57 amI never know why, but I always love Bradford away. It's ridciulously expensive, the facilities aren't really anything to shout about, we always do crap.... and yet our away support always makes it brilliant!!! It's bizzare really! So, despite travelling back to Morecambe from Newcastle this afternoon for the weekend, I'll be hopping in the car with the family and having another good day at Bradford!!! (P.S. we always go on the A roads and stop off at Skipton for a pint and to watch the lunch-time game that is usually on!)

I sense Wigan v Wolves won't inspire too many, however these are the games that both Clubs will tick off as winnable. It is always important to do well against the teams around you.
Oh hang on a minute we are 22nd and play 21st tomorrow

Was a little supprised when Sky picked this fixture anyway it can only be good if it had been a 3PM kick off half of Wigan would be en route to Manchester for the rugby grand final. I know a few who are now going to the football and when travelling to Old Trafford stright after the game via a few pubs no doubt!
Thinking of going to watch my second team tommorow I certainly had a good time last time I was at a Wolves game!
