Would be interesting to know if playing fridays does bring in bigger gates than a Saturday fixture. I noticed Rovers and Rotherham is also a Friday night fixture so can't imagine that attendance being any bigger either.

How long will it take to get up to Macclesfield Friday from Swindon, I can't leave until after 3 pm. Thanks in advance.
M5/M6 on a Friday? You'll be cutting it very fine. |

I felt a bit flat throughout yesterday...
That might have something to do with me landing on you followed by Eddie. |

Thanks Samdy, that's what I was worried about but wasn't sure just how busy it gets. If it's going to be that much of a close call I'll not take the chance.

3 hours from swindon on a clear run. Friday on the M6 is generally not a clear run. As Samdy says, it could be tight and go all wrong.

Mixing of local traffic and long distance traffic flows never works. One of the worst junctions in the country. I do have an environmental conscience but, where omissions in the network are as glaring as this, you have to do something. Build the Western Orbital Motorway! No chance of this happening before Friday, though. |

My daughter not attending is the reason we won. She's been to two home games this season - Scum and Soton. She has a 100% away record - Slave Traders. The next home game she is attending is the Pikeys.

Barnet were the worst team I have seen play at the CG for a long long time, even worse than the non-league sides we've faced in the cup. But I suppose you can only beat what is in front of you and we certainly did that, very comfortably. For one reason or another, that was my first game of the season (apart from Rotherham on the box which doesn't really count) and I have to admit I was quite impressed. Ritchie was head and shoulders above everyone else, and apart from a few dodgy moments from Comazzi at the back, everyone else did alright. Got the feeling that we had another gear or 2 to go into as well if needed.
So what exactly happened at half time ? I rushed off to get in the queue for food/drink and by the time I came back up, both teams were on the pitch. Did notice Sanchez sulking the entire game in the dugout, and then one of their players came back on to the pitch at full time all on his own and sat down sulking. Really cant see anything good happening to Barnet this season, seem to be a club in a bit of a mess

I did the reverse journey for about 9 months working in Manchester and I would say you would be lucky to do it in 5 hours leaving at 3pm sorry. |

Indeed,

Used to see a bird who lived in Chester,

I was working in a company down here that allowed us to leave early on a Friday. M5/M6 is an absolute pig of a journey. You'd need to be extremely lucky to make it leaving that late - do ya feel lucky, punk?
