Workington Away (FA Trophy 2nd Round)

[srusrdfc]

Anyone going up there?

[Rdfc91]

Me and 3 others by train, but judging by the cold weather predicted it would seem likely that it may be called off to a frozen pitch. Workington's reserve game tonight at Borough Park has been called off

[srusrdfc]

ok what station do you go from to get there and what time train you getting? how much is the train fair there?

[Rdfc91]

We booked it a few weeks back so it was advanced singles, which cost us £20 from Milton Keynes to Carlisle, and £5 from Carlisle to Workington. On the day your looking at about £70 return though.

[srusrdfc]

Ok high prices to get there then.

Me plus 2, assuming it's on (which is probably won't be :( ). We've got a B&B booked in nearby Cockermouth, so we can go out and paint the town red (or rather, yellow ;) ) after the game, then drive back on the Sunday. I'm just praying the weather has a change of heart and is kind to us.

I hope none of you make the journey, then the match is called off, that would suck the big one!

I'm with Rdfc91, and if we're on our way and it's called off Wigan v Villa could be the only option. Carlisle are at home to Millwall but I guess they don't have under-soil heating or nothing like that. Preston at home to Doncaster which may be on, but not as good as the Wigan game.

Not optimistic of it being on at all if i'm honest.

Looking at the forecast for Friday, I expect the game will be called off by Friday evening if not earlier. Workington's game tonight was called off this morning, and the conditions look even worse for the end of the week.
