A week today

[Jeff]

Can't wait what a boring summer it has been !! No big signings yet as well !

I thought you'd already decided that Jack Hobbs was a big signing.


You should be patient though, even a big club like Preston haven't signed any players yet so what chance have we got? :icon_wink

I was being sarcastic:icon_bigg

I suppose Preston are a MASSIVE club.

Massive stadium. Enormous fan base. Andy Lonergan.

Nearly as big as Newcastle them is.

They are definetly massive as they have Neil Mellor and Jon "BEAST" Parkin.

Good ole Cliff Ginetta spouting his usual bollocks, talking for the fans. The fans won't give Person ten games if we start poorly IMO. You can see it already with the moaning about lack of signings, the undercurrent is there.

I fear that you are right. The relegation season was notable for both Megson and Holloway being criticised as soon as they arrived - Megson for being dour and Holloway for being cheerful. O'Neill was criticized for a bad run when he arrived. Jimmy Bloomfield was hounded out when he struggled to replace the Weller-Birchenall-Glover generation; we were midtable of the First Division at the time.
Nigel proved last season that he is a good manager. He has a long way to go before he matches the achievements of Jimmy Bloomfield and Martin O'Neill but he can only match them if he is given time.

A few questions for anyone who is kind and generous...........

How do you get to Tamworth from Market Harborough on the train?

How much are tickets for the game?

Will our first team play or will it be the reserves ?

Thank you in advance to any kind person.

 

[Blue Maniac]

...he can only match them if he is given time.

It's be interesting to see if, with a combination of the most impatient fans in Britain and the most impatient chairman outside Spain, whether that's even possible.

Anyway, are we down yet?

 

[Jeff]

How do you get to Tamworth from Market Harborough on the train?

I expect the quickest route is to change at Derby, but nationalrail.co.uk will be able to tell you.

How much are tickets for the game?

Dunno. Have you looked at Tamworth's official website?

Will our first team play or will it be the reserves ?

I expect it will be a stronger team than the one that plays at Loughborough earlier in the day, but probably still a mixture.

 

[Blue Maniac]

How do you get to Tamworth from Market Harborough on the train?

12.37 to Leicester
13.04 to Derby
13.36 to Tamworth
Minimum two changes I reckon.

How much are tickets for the game?

No idea. Shouldn't be much though.

Will our first team play or will it be the reserves ?

Probably an approximation of the first team, or at least a mixture, since we're sending a team to Loughborough at 12.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Dunno. Have you looked at Tamworth's official website?

Scoured it. It's not on there. Normal league matchday tickets are £12 and £14 though.

 

[Harbro-Fox]

Thank you very much BB and Jeff.

Surely the prices won't be as much as normal ticket prices ?

 

[Blue Maniac]

Not gonna ask what that stands for :icon_conf

Wouldn't have thought so, although certain clubs have been known to charge full whack for friendly games against 'bigger' clubs.

Duno why I put that sorry. Thanks BM.

He can do it with one change by changing at Beeston.

 

[Harbro-Fox]

He can do it with one change by changing at Beeston.

How would that work?

 

[Jeff]

How do you think?

Get a train from Market Harborough to Beeston, then a train from Beeston to Tamworth.

 

[Blue Maniac]

I stand corrected. Seems a long way round though.

 

[Jeff]

Seems a long way round though.

It adds around 20 minutes to the journey, but it means he won't have to change at a big station where he might get lost... :icon_wink

Neither of these is a Permitted Route and would need separate tickets to be purchased.

The Permitted Routes require a change at Leicester and then another at either Nuneaton or Birmingham New Street.

That's not what the National Rail website says.
