    	You're a glutton for punishment, Gary...Aldershot's ground is
    	truely awful! Second only to Newport County (as was) as the worst
    	Football League ground I've ever been to. 8-) As an AWAY supporter
    	you'd be herded into what resembles a corrugated shed, so play
    	HOME.
    
    	Can't help with the train times, but the ground is very easy to 
    	find once in the middle of the town.
    
    	Enjoy.
    
    	Andy.

    ...and you must be really desperate to see some English football !!
    
    Will you be popping up to Enterprise House for a swift half ?      

    
    Thanks Rob and Andy.  I am a glutton for punishment but then I don't
    get many opportunities to see live English football so I'll grab the
    ones I get.
    
    I'll be in London for a couple of days arriving Thursday lunchtime and
    leaving Saturday evening.
    
    I'll try and get up to Enterprise House and have a pint or 2 of "Hun
    Lager". :-)  I'll make more definite plans next week.
    
    Anyone fancy going to Aldershot?  I'm also going to Chelsea v Liverpool
    on Sat.   Anyone fancy meeting for a pint beforehand or a quick one
    afterwards?
    
    
    Gary.

     Now there's an idea.

    Gary,	
        I am not adverse to meeting you for a quick half before the
    Aldershot game, but is it really necessary to go to the game as well???
    
      S�mon  ;-)

    Heading north up the M1 is it best to stay on until the M62 and then
    turn left?  Or is it quicker to turn off at junction 35-40 and head
    across country?
    
    Once in Oldham where is the ground and are there any decent pubs?
    
    Mike M

    The M1 / M62 junction at Lofthouse (Wakefield) is being dug up, and
    there are quite serious delays there in the peak periods.Boundary Park
    is easily reached from the M62 westbound, the M6122 (?) turnoff for Oldham
    is clearly signposted (Oldham / Middleton) - it's the first major
    turning going downhill - Boundary park's floodlights are visible from
    the this short motorway. Pubs - there are lots, selling proper beer at
    a price to make Southerners jealous.
    
    Approaching from the West (M6, M62) is not reccommended because of
    major roadworks on the M62 in the Radcliffe area (just west of Oldham).

    Do you know if it is any good turning off the M1 at Junc 38 and heading
    up the A6 to Huddersfield?  Then driving through Huddersfield and
    eventually picking up the M62 at Junc 23.  
    
    Finally does anyone know if there are any roadworks on the M1 north of
    Watford Gap and if yes, how bad are they?
    
    Mike M

Speaking of matters Boundary Park.

The Oldam Athletic and Arsenal game will be shown live on R.T.E next saturday
at 3-00pm.  

    Mike,
    
    I expect you would be better off keeping to the M1 and M62 - the Xmas
    rush is starting and driving throuugh towns is a drag. Allow plenty of
    time for your journey, or take the train, Euston Manchester Picc, bus
    to Victoria, 142 Bendy Bus round the Oldham loop.

    Anybody got any idea how to get to Chester's ground? I may be going 
    this Saturday and if so I will be getting there by road from Liverpool.
    
    Cheers,
    
    jeff.

    Chester play their home games in Macclesfield, their ground is now a
    tesco or something.
    
    jb.

    Jeff,
    	I haven't got time to do thins so.........
    
    
    M6 Jcn 19. Eastwards on A54. A535 to Chelford. Turn right (A537) to
    Macclesfield (Chester Rd). Turn right into Crompton Rd. Turn left at
    end along A536 (Park St). Right into Mill Lane (A523) towards Leek,
    through Cross St tinto London Rd. The ground is on the left.
    
     See you there. I'll be the drunk one!!!

Does anyone have the Wembley Box Office telephone number please?

And a subsidiary question - is Wembley Park Underground still closed? If so, 
what's the best way there by train?

Thanks,

grahame

    
    Grahame,
    
    Wembley's number is 081 900 1234

    Does anyone know how to get to Port Vale's ground from the M6 ?
    
    Paul

    Paul,
    	You really can't miss it  (or do you want to ?)
    
    	From memory (a la following Wigan up to ~6 years ago - the old grey
    cells are catching up with the hair!) - it is straight down the M6 to 
    the A525 Newcastle / Stoke exit - bear left.  Along the dual
    carriageway & you can see the ground (eventually!) on your left. Its
    a bit like Villa's (don't know who copied who?) but the floodlights are
    in the "P" & "V" shapes.
    
    	There is (as has been pointed out on numerous occasions in this 
    conference!) no such place as P.V. - they play in Hanley, one of the 5
    Pottery towns. Not a bad ground. Quite large, few friendly pubs near
    by. Not that that is of any relevance ;-)
    
    Be wary of the Thelwall though, on your journey!
    
    
    Enjoy the game,
    	Dave

    "Everton - Highlights 92/3 Season" has just been released over here.
    
    Another blank tape for the late night cricket.

    Cheers Dave,
    
    I phoned Port Vale and they said drive to Burslem and then ask
    someone....... frightening, they probably thought anyone with a slight
    Liverpool accent can't read.
    
    I can almost see the Thelwall from here (Warrington CSC)- it's hell.
    
    Paul

    Paul,
    
    Planning for trips to lower division grounds for next season already ??
    
    Rob :-)
