Early ticket news on the Cardiff game here - Tuesday 29th November at 7.45pm tickets on sale shortly.

Useful info on the new ground here

2038 tickets allocated - I would hope there is a sell-out.

I cant attend with it being so far away midweek or I would.

Anyone worked out how to get there/back on the trains?

Seems like there is a 3hr direct train every hour from Manchester, but the return trains stop running after 6pm, so the next direct train back to Manc is the following morning...??

I'm thinking of driving it, got 3 empty seats that I'm gonna try and fill.

As a result of the Cup game against Cardiff now being played on Tuesday 29th Nov, our Sky game the previous night against Stoke will now have to be re-scheduled. I have looked at the Official site and it is now shown as being played on Saturday 26th Nov at 12.45pm.

It's not shown on the Sky schedule so does anyone know if it will be a televised game?

I imagine it will be if it kicks off at dinner time.

Yes, it was going to be the Monday night tv match wasn't it, hence the change to the lunchtime Saturday tv slot.

Yes it was announced on the website last week, and yes it will be on tv....how long a drive back would people say Cardiff is, 4 hours? Might just have to take the afternoon off and go!
