I certainly do, 1987 was awesome.

I had heard they were making enquiries about trains, Seems now they are not, which i find disapointing.
Blackpool by train would be far preferable, especially since Neils coaches invariably don't have toilets and Blackpool to Halifax is a well used line, this is similar to the Odsal coaches they were gonna put on, and maybe needs thought? Peoples own choice i suppose..

i thought they could have done a coach for people that are staying over the night

I think they call that National Express....


Considering it's the Northern RAIL cup, what would be so difficult in the sponsors giving it the big push with regards to travel to & from the final ?

For goodness sake, how complicated it must be to order a special train, how many carriages does Neil book to start with. There is a train from Halifax every hour at 07 past the hour starting at 09.07 it takes approx 1hr 30 mins. There are two trains back after the game. Go on one of these and make it a "special" train. www.metrojourneyplanner.info/jou ... 1L18078474 Come to think of it, I wonder why Neil hasn't organised a "special" space shuttle, or perhaps a "special" harrier jet.

9.07 train it is for me

Northern Rail have organised 'special' trains in the past as they ran one in 2006 from Bolton to Blackpool when we were there against Hull KR, and again in 2008 from Eccles to Blackpool when Salford were there. Not sure if they've scrapped it in recent years though.

Sounds like a porn advert. (so i'm told)

Check nearer the date as the published timetable only goes up to the week before.

The Space Shuttle is being decommissioned, so thats out, and it only lands at certain air strips anyway due to the length of runway required, I dont think its replacement is due online for sometime yet either, I will contact ESA though and see if any Arianne Rockets are available, im not sure if they have the capacity for even a NRC qualifier though, and we probably have to catch a flight or train enroute to its launch pad, so that leaves us with, Coach, Car, Walking, Cycling, Hovercraft or Hot Air Balloon.
I mean Trains? what were we thinking

Are you saying I can`t paraglide like I normally do to a match?

I"m flying to Blackpool from Barton Aerodrome. I have space on one wing left if anyone's interested. You have to provide your own safety harness and sign a disclaimer.

My husband might just take you up on that as he was going to go on his Sedgeway but thought the battery would run down around Chorley and I don`t think anyone has a plug there.
