Drove to Newcastle & back from Chippenham for a Wednesday night game, was knackered on the Thursday after and stopped for coffee a couple of times on the way home.
Wouldn’t do it again now I’m an old bastard, it’s bad enough driving back from midweek home games

I remember ex of this parish HerthaB did the trip to Carlisle and back on a Tuesday but not from Swindon but down here near Yeovil, stopping in Swindon on the way up!
370 miles or so each way, he managed it but said he would never ever do it again!

That's roughly about doing East Mids to Land's End each way (not to be confused with the US clothing firm Lands' End  ) or even Yeovil to Carlisle! One way is plenty enough in UK capacity fuel guzzlers. Obviously to our American friends (and expats) this is merely a trip to the grocery store  |

There are 2 storms this week. If the forecast is anything as bad as its suggested the game could well be under threat.

It shouldn't be too blowy, and there's no danger of it being frozen off. Biggest threat, probably, is the heavy rainfall forecast for Friday.

A mate of mine drove to Goodison Park with a squeaky wiper blade. It rained the whole time.  |

Mrs Bathford and I are in the Lake District for a few days. Not too bad at the moment, but local weather predicting 4 - 6 inches of snow on Friday.
If it freezes over it may cause problems on the roads and at the ground.

Couple of good results for us last night with Tranmere and Sutton both losing. Unfortunately, Exeter came back from 1-3 with 20 minutes to go but ended up winning 4-3.
Presume most on here are still targeting the POs
