Just a fyi. You can get a direct train from Ely via Pboro to Stockport. Via the split my fare site I'm all booked up for around £50. It takes around 3 hours. Plenty of cheap accommodation options too. See you all there.

While many will be tempted to head into Manchester pre/post game and there's plenty of good reasons to, Stockport has improved massively since we probably last played there and has lots of good drinking options.

The 2024/2025 season has officially started now there is a League match thread active.
And if we are victorious at Stockport then the next match thread must also start with travel info.

Extract from The Sunday Times today…
Stockport is a former cotton mill town, which has suffered from industrial decline. However, in recent years it has become increasingly popular among young professionals as Manchester housing becomes more expensive. It has undergone significant regeneration and this year was The Sunday Times’s best place to live in the northwest. Last year it was also named by The Times as one of the 12 best places in the UK to buy your first home.

Plenty of budget hotel chains at decent prices within walking distance of town centre, station and ground. I'm in the holiday Inn express with a mate at £42 each including breakfast. Really looking forward to it. I hope I see some of you on the train, I will have plenty of cans to share.

Imagine that's more Hazel Grove and the way out to Brammall and the Heatons rather than Offerton and the like, but hey! But yeah, Stockport has come on hugely since I've been up this way and you're spoilt for good watering holes. Great way to start the season! |

Plenty of cheap accommodation options too. See you all there. Word of warning although I’d hope weekends would be easier. I was due to use the Manchester Piccadilly - Ely train a couple of weeks back after a meeting in Manchester - the idea was then to connect on to Cambridge. However, we had no reservations as apparently no seats are reservable on this route and an old two carriage thing turned up in Manchester which was already absolutely packed to the rafters. My colleague and I couldn’t get close to the door let alone get in the train. We re-routed via Euston and overall that was the quicker route. Apparently the East Midlands Rail service is always fairly lousy. |

Good to see that our match threads are taken so seriously that they're now starting nearly a month before the actual game. |
