Season Opener WIGAN away Sat 3pm 3rd August 2019

It's a trip away for the London Bluebirds to kick off the back in the Crap Premier League campaign.
I can see us going straight back up with some confidence.
I am going.
Someone pick the trains as it is NOT being televised.
Exciting times ahead. Roll call here please. We found a good pub or two last time we went to Wigan and I think we won too.

Count me in for this one. Last time I was at Wigan Alan Cork was our manager and we lost 4-1 or 4-0 did find a good pub though.

I've booked 8:20 up  which has a 20 minute refreshment break at Piccadilly, which will probably be full of Man U fans travelling to Cardiff,


and 18:18 back which is direct.

Not looking too clever for the return journey :-"Between 20 July & 4 August, Network Rail will be upgrading track and equipmentThis will take place near Acton Grange, between Crewe and Warrington Bank Quay on the busy West Coast main line. Many trains will be diverted, but your journey may be impacted while the work takes place as trains will be extremely busy and journeys may be significantly extended. Please plan ahead of your journey."

3 hours back, could be worse. And we'll be partaking in the sampling of the local fare*, celebrating a fine start to the season. What's not to like ?




* At least the more sophisticated among us will. The others will be on the Stella/Fruity Strongbow.
