Northern do run extra services for big events - they run two extra from Hebden Bridge to Leeds on Bonfire night - so it is possible.
I think they have just got it wrong and under estimate how many fax and leigh fans will be going via train. Gettin there should not be a problem - its the getting home.

I remember coming home from Preston on a Saturday evening on the same day the following Football matches took place:
Blackpool V Sheffield Wednesday
Preston V Sheffield United
Blackburn V Hull City
Supporters of these away teams fans were on the same train service, including those who had gone to Blackpool for the day and other users. How many carriages? Three. I struggled to get on at Preston, it was a living hell at Blackburn and people couldn't fit on at Accrington, Burnley (where the away fans from their game tried and failed to get on) and Hebden Bridge.

Northen Rail - The sponsors of this competition!
surley the idea behind sponsoring a competition is to gain business in the future?!
thousands of fans travelling from Fax and Leigh to Blackpool for the day, on a return.
they have put zero offers on! and zero additional services!!!! it is a joke!
THEY HAVE MISSED A MASSIVE TRICK (although i wouldv'e thought pretty obvious!) TO MAKE MONEY FROM THIS EVENT!
if they had put a deal on for a £15 adult return (i think its about £19 normally) , most would have left thier cars at home.
glad im going sat dinner and back monday!

It does seem bizarre that the sponsors of the competition itself seems so distanced to it and unwilling to even really acknowledge it! They could have made a good profit from some deals as SIMMSFAXTEDDY pointed out and if they could ensure it all runs smoothly (from which it seems unlikely atm) then it would have been great advertisement for themselves for the future. Oh well, Im driving! Still can't bloody wait! C'mon Fax!!

I'll get a good deal in a taxi mate, just like I did back from Ossett after the Dewsbury game. Taxi for Rossfax.........

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

So the actual value of having a train station in your town is ?

3 Direct Services to London per day I think, which means they can put posters up in the station advertising West End Musicals |
