May not be a bad thing given they also have a new manager in Kevin Blackwell, and like tonight, will mostly likely be extra spurred on....I'd also say it's a bad thing as I'd like to see how we respond to tonight's defeat by having a stormer on Saturday!!!

I only live about an hour from Bury but can't make it on Saturday. On a purely selfish note, I wouldn't mind it being postponed!

I wouldn't mind it being called off. Supposed to be at an evening wedding do that would mean leaving Manchester Piccadilly at 1735 which might mean leaving Gigg Lane early, which I hate doing!

On a Saturday afternoon getting from Gigg Lane to Piccadilly is a solid 40 minute drive at minimum, you are cutting that one fine even with a good taxi driver! |

I'm not sure it would be a bad thing, they have a new manager and we saw last night what that can do for a team. Also, we have played a lot of games lately, so we could probably do with the rest.

I'd been given to believe that they were no better than average and that the main issue was us being gash? |

They weren't a footballing team, organised and closed down midfield space. We didn't try to play football against them. So I guess the answer is yes. |

I don't suppose anybody is driving back anywhere near Sheffield or M1 Junc 34 (Meadowhall) as I need to be back for an event at 6.45 and can't get back that quick on the tram / train?
If not (like Hitchin Red) I might be getting a taxi back to Manchester Piccadilly to get 17.43 train. According to AA Route Planner only 19 mins from Gigg Lane to Piccadilly so would hope to do it in under 40 minutes even in Saturday evening traffic.

The other option for getting to Piccadilly after the match is to get a tram from Bury Interchange. Mind you it's 15 years since I lived in Bury and I've forgotten how long that takes!!  |
