Accrington Stanley Away, No Trains?

AddickFC81

Journey from from Accrington to Leeds over an hour and only realalistic train getting away from the ground for a station a mile away is the 18:11 getting in at 19:37 and if that is held up or cancelled we miss the last train from Leeds. Northern Rail could go on strike yet with their problems.

The 17.27 will be easy to catch.

I think that one will be fine but if it runs late it'll be very tight for the first train out of Leeds. So we're on the 19:45 back and the 9:33 up (which also has a close connection in Leeds).

I'll probably get the 17.11

Leave 16.45 on dot and will comfortably get that one.

Is it worth buying train tickets before you're assured of getting match ones , bearing in mind the size of the ground and away allocation ?

Away end holds 1800. So yes.

OK, thanks, CE.

Still unsure about buying ours yet though.

15 minute walk back to the station. Depending on how long your legs are of course.

They have demolished the stand on one side, so the ground capacity will be restricted

Worried we won't have enough players for the game to go ahead ?

If the proposed loyalty scheme uses last seasons ticket purchases you should be ok for tickets.

Thanks as always, Clive.

Not wanting to cast aspersions but how confident are we that said system will a) be in place and b) be fit for purpose ?

The walk is mainly downhill from the ground .

The reason why it probably still showing trains running direct to Preston is probably because they have only just announced the works hence why there are no cheap deals.
