    staying in Crewe for w/end .. train from Grimsby to Crewe, trip, just short of 3 hours .. Cannot wait for this !!
    3 nights in Premier Inn Crewe (250 yards from station) = £158, train to Wrexham General (200 yards from ground) via Chester = 1 hour and £10
    I do hate walking too far unnecessarily 

    I hope they threw in breakfast for that price.

    Premier Inn has joined the meanies, Uncle Lenny Henry promised us breakfast as much as you can eat, but no more £10.99 for full English .. free wifi ? .. slower than the pony express, but the 'ultimate wifi' at £5 a day is excellent .. However, the room rates seem to have dropped probably to compete with Travelodge, Prem rooms are generally a bit nicer than Tlodges
    Thing is, if you can't afford it, sleep in the street or do what my bestie does and drive to (say) Plymouth or Barrow from Suffolk and back in a day

    Town crier right by Chester station and there’s also a new tap house at the station. I think most coaches of away teams are advised to go to Chester first

    If you are not too familiar with the area, turn left our of the station and you'll come across various bars, takeaways and other eating joints.
    I quite like the place and have stayed there a few times.

    We're on one of the coaches, so won't be able to get to Chester.

    What a beautiful city Chester is.
    Have just walked the city walls and passed the race course.
    Also went into the Cathedral

    Not sure what I dislike the most 
    Scousers, mosquitos or Aids. 

    I'd like to do away with all three.

    Liverpool for a day out at the football is a grin, but unfortunately they all think they are Jimmy Tarbuck.
    I first went there in the 80's and it was amazing to see people walking into boozers selling all sorts of s***, the nippers with a paper and pen wanting to be sponsored.  An education.

    Asking you to pick something out of the Argos catalog and they would go and get it for you.

    I'm getting a bit pissed off with this Liverpool/scousers bashing. What's that got to do with tomorrows game. I lived there for 5 years, teacher training at Liverpool University, first job at Knutsford, continued to live there and commute. Still go back there frequently, from Altrincham, pub crawl with mates, a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Born and bred in New Eltham, but have moved north with work. Some of you need to get a reset on your Londonsentric viewpoint about the rest of the country.
    Anyway, rant over, season ticket holder, will be at Wrexham tommorow, and hope we smash the Clowns!!
    ps It's only a 50 minute drive for me, so I don't have to stay in Chester!! ( another town we regularly do pub crawls around.)

    Just for balance, I like everywhere except Wrexham. Always been a bit of a circus 🎪

    Living in Birkenhead is another experience entirely, it makes Liverpool look like Knightsbridge.

    Agreed, but most of the Wirral is quite posh, Liverpuddlians nickname them Wooleybacks, which is a polite version of our sheepshaggers!

    What do people from the Wirral call them on the other side of the mersey?
