No direct flights north west unfortunately.

Prior to Sky TV coming on the scene, games were played on Tuesday ansd Wednesday nights on a regular basis and in front of crowds which in many cases were bigger than what they get now on Friday Evenings with no moaning about kids having go to school or getting up for work on Friday mornings.

And many supporters even travelled to away games in bigger numbers than what they do now.

All in the time when more people were working than what work today.

Thursday night games are no different than Friday night as some of the crowd figures depending on who is playing each other have proved.

True supporters will go to games on whatever day or night a game is played to support their team.

Like many older supporters, I did for many seasons by changing a shift or booking a day's holiday.

p.s. Look at the crowds football get for mid week games.

also went to plenty on Wednesday night with 2k on

Once again, theres so many things in the post to pick holes in its untrue

The latest "All our yesterday's" is that people "Worked more" back in the day than they do now
No wonder our country has gone to rock and ruin, its because people used to work more back then (sarcasm alert).

Never mind that stopping Tues/Weds games had nothing to do with sky

Anyway

Manchester to Carcassonne Friday 12 noon, then 1 hour by train to Toulouse, return on Monday afternoon.

We are going through Brussels outbound and inbound
At the moment this seems quite a popular route

Let me know where catch up for a pint pal.

Name the games!

Do yo ever stop trying to be a clever sod?

Its exactly that reason. Yet when Latics are away on 12 March, we take a trip to the south of France.

Huddersfield Town are away on 26 February, so their stadium is available that weekend.

Whoever dreams these fixtures up needs replacing. Much easier to reverse the Huddersfield and Catalan fixtures so we play away on the weekend 26 Feb and at home on the weekend of 12 March. The comment about the pitch-laying is a smokescreen as there's a high chance the Latics will be in the L1 play-offs, which dont take place until mid-May.

Perhaps, a Grammer School Education may account for it!
