Train strikes Tuesday, Weds and Thursday (7 to 9th May). You’ll be ok Sorry to put a downer on things, but on the day of the match almost all the train drivers will be on an overtime ban, which will mean loads of last minute cancellations. Weekend rail services rely heavily on drivers working overt...

Going through Leeds is always cheaper.

Maybe, but that wouldn't solve the problem. LNER drivers will also have an overtime ban.

ASLEF are urging overtime bans for Avanti West Coast drivers on Saturday 11 May.
This will means trains being cancelled at very short notice.
I'm not getting stranded in London. If I decide to sell my match ticket I'll post on here nearer the time.

Partick Thistle?

If you are getting to London by train from the North West, the good thing about Seven Sisters is that it is only four stops on the tube to Euston.

I've never known the station to be particularly busy after the match.

lakedistrictclaret

Awful news, just awful.

I'll be having a pint or two in Central London, then tube to Seven Sisters.

I'm on Row 1!
At least I'll be able to sit down.

Got mine. Could be my last Premier League away game for some time.
jrgbfc, the TV games have been announced for that weekend. We're not on.

Brave of you to post this, roper.
Wishing you all the best.

Yes, of course.
I go for the day out, and to meet family and friends. If I enjoy the match, that's a bonus.
Who can honestly say they've enjoyed this season more than last?
I'm already looking forward to the kick-off in August.

Muric had a great game v Bournemouth...made some very important saves. Trafford getting his first England senior call up ( albeit no. 3. Keeper) is a nice problem to have. Muric has bided his time and made the most of his first start this season, so yes, for me Muric. I think you mean Brentford, bu...

Thanks 1989, Leisure and Tony.
My two stepsons and their wives are coming up for a couple of days at the beginning of next week....they'll show me how to do it.

I've gone as far as the checkout but can't see the option to pay with the credit I received from the sale of my shares, just the option to use my Teamcard points, plus card and DD. I thought these were separate. Just click on the teamcard points box, gawthorpe. Ignore the card and DD boxes. I've bo...

I've never had a digital ticket before.
Will it be in order to print the e-mail, which presumably will have a QR code on it, and present the printout at the turnstile, or will I have to work out how to download the ticket from my tablet or laptop to my phone?

Absolute no doubt we’ve had far worse teams. I’ve no idea what but I just feel at times as if I could just call it a day. I've not reached that stage yet, but that's maybe because a home match is a good day out for me. I get to see one of my stepchildren or my sister-in-law in Lancaster ( they each...

Alan Bates was offered the OBE, but refused to accept it while Vennells had her CBE.

It will be interesting to see whether he us offered it again.

To be honest, I've not used ITVX before but tried again and can't find it at all. It's obviously me then so I'll watch it tonight.

Not just you, Tony, I can't find it either.

Just watched the 2nd programme. It's absolutely brilliant, and equally devastating at the same time.

Totally agree. Compelling viewing.

It's excellent isn't it. I don't think I'll binge it, I'll watch it night by night. I represented a lovely lady who ran a sub-postoffice in West Cumbria on an interview by Post Office investigators. I'd been going into her post office for years and the idea of her being dishonest was laughable. Her ...

There was a chippy in Cockermouth called ' Oh My Cod ', but it was forced to change its name through pressure of public opinion.

Assuming the trains turn up of course! Mine didn't coming back from London on Saturday. Got to Euston at 5.50pm to find that the only train going north of Preston was cancelled ( no driver). I caught a train to Preston, which went via Coventry and Birmingham, and then had an hour wait at Preston fo...

I have no knowledge of the internal politics of the club at the time, but the main thing I remember about Frank Teasdale is that when introducing our new manager, he got the manager's name wrong not once, but twice:- 1. He referred to Chris Waddle as Chris Hoddle 2. He called Stan Ternent Stan TerNE...

Your chosen charity is particularly relevant to me because June died from a form of blood cancer.

Just got home after a five and a half hour journey. I usually go through the Central Lakes on the A591, but I turned round at Kendal back to the M6, which itself was very, very slow because of jack-knifed lorries. Kendal to Grasmere was covered by 9-12 inches of snow, and the Police estimated that t...

Got mine. This will be the first time I'll have set foot in London since Watford away in April 2018. I'll be going to Villa away on the 30th as well. Reliant now on there being no rail strikes, but we should be ok, they normally call them six weeks in advance. I'd drive to Birmingham, at a pinch, bu...

I agree with almost all of that, jedi_master, except that I would like to hang on to most of our better players.

Nice to see Andrew's photo on the screen at half time, even if they did get his age wrong. He was 66, not 62. For information, Andrew's funeral will take place on Thursday 30th November at Lytham Crematorium at 1.15pm, followed by a celebration of his life at the White Church, Clifton Drive, Fairhav...

I knew Andrew. Both he and my sister live in Lytham St. Annes and they used to share the driving, so I would walk back to the car park near the Queen Vic with him after every match. I understand he was only 66. I was going to suggest to my sister that she notify the club, so that Andrew's name could...

I'm doing what I always do for matches in Liverpool. Drive to Ormskirk Station ( big, free car park) then 20 minutes on the train to Kirkdale.

1965 - the last ever Christmas Day game

Yes, I went to that. I lived in Lytham then. Blackpool won 4-2.
Exactly a week later was my first visit to Ewood. We won 2-0.
