Never to the dark side Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I know its LIVE on telly, its Talksports commentary game and a long way to go on a friday night. I can understand anyone not heading North on a Friday night. Any way see the rest of you hoardes at Bolton on friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Northski Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Safe journey to all those who are going to the game on Friday. Seriously impressive commitment given the following: It's a seriously crappy winter, Long way, Friday evening traffic, Won't get home until early hours, you could watch it in your lounge/ local pub. Money spent on travel and tickets. Lost pay or holiday for taking the afternoon off work. Complete tedium of a long coach journey. High probability of at least 2 meals being purchased from John Menzies at a motorway service station Your phone is likely to run out of battery before you reach Stafford on the way up to the game. Having said that, I bloody love going to away games, seriously good crack. Wish I was going. I know that I don't speak for others, but I'm sure they would like to say a big thank you to all those who are making the journey up and giving our boys a shout Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I’ll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Sadly, another game that I’d have gone too, had it been it’s original Saturday date. Not been to Bolton before, so one I’d definitely have liked to have ticked off the list. Fair play to those making the journey! COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Only one CATS coach I believe. As other said it was a game many would have gone to but can’t as it was moved. Sadly I can’t go now either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjiman_LFC Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 A ground I need to tick off so I am making the trip. Number 63 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandhurst Red Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'm heading up - made easier by the fact I had to be in Edinburgh on Saturday morning anyway. Even booked into the hotel with a pitchside view.... but will still take my place in the away end despite having a view from my bed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danrozzell Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 me and two mates going up, I assume we haven't even sold out our initial allocation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHRIDGE BCFC Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'll be there. Promised to take my lad for his birthday so feel a bit duty bound now even though it's a Friday. Never need my arm twisting for an away though tbf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're off to Bolton (only missed one away game this season) and got the same hotel as you, hoping it's not going to be like Sheffield Utd, stayed in the hotel adjoining the ground and was full of Utd's supporters before and after and found it very hard to celebrate beating them in the last minute!

KnowleUtd City Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 What a shame that these TV away games are hammering our away support. I made Derby, but can't get to Bolton. Fair play to the lads that get there Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we'd have had a good 1000-1500 at Derby the other week, and something pretty similar for Bolton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busterrimes Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Just added myself to the waiting list in case there is a coach. Really fancy this one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question , but how do they ensure you are not drinking alcohol while watching the game. I know in executive boxes the blinds have to be drawn when the game is going on.

Yes I agree, I would have done Derby Leeds and Bolton but all TV now, part disappointed but saving £200 on train fares plus I quite like watching on TV was the winner..

I know in executive boxes the blinds have to be drawn when the game is going on. I'm purely using the room to sleep in, the thought of watching the game in a room just doesn't feel right but I imagine many do with these corporate boxes etc. I'm thinking hotel bar, then away end, then hotel bar but the thought of now watching the game in that room, home fans in front of me and we score, say now more. I've got two room booked but i believe some of the rooms don't face the pitch 13 minutes ago, Barkhamred said: I was also intrigued by this and can't find anything on the website or in their terms and conditions.

REDOXO Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'm on a flight to Vegas right when the match is on. However they have wifi so I'll be watching from 35000 feet. It'll be like sitting in The Lansdown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
