As there is a rail strike not sure why there is a thought that there will be thousands of Burnley fans in town before the game. Most will just go directly to the stadium.

So will there will be no trains running with Northern on the 18th ..or will it just be a reduced service?

Massively reduced (if any) and none to Burnley, but double deckers every 20 mins £2 each trip.

Cheers for the heads up mate. I'll hold fire until nearer the date to confirm what if any services are running. Would sooner the 14 minute train from the Dale. Bus is a pain in the arse as is the tram which goes via newhey Oldham taking a good hour. Tram used to run direct to the ground but its now a break at Victoria.

We have these predictions of mayhem before pretty much every cup game with an increased allocation.

I’m in town before and after every home game and the last time I can remember seeing anything of note was a bit of handbags with United in the NQ before one derby, maybe four or five years ago. Even that was a league game I think.

A Blackpool fan died today after altercations at their match with Burnley on Saturday and some of our fans got done for abuse v United when it was an evening ko.

They'll be fuck all trains.
We've run 1 an hour to the airport on previous RMT strike days and that's all
 
Hi. Wondering if anyone can help on this? I purchased the top price tickets for the Burnley game today on release at £60 each in block 222. The pricing list stated that 93:20 tickets were this price. Does this mean we get access to the 93:20 bar and padded seats? It doesn't mention anything on the ticket and can't get hold of anyone at the club. Really hoping so as its a surprise birthday present.

Exactly this. Going to the match is no more dangerous than going shopping these days.

At that price I imagine the seats are padded.

Not sure about access to exclusive bars.

The only service Northern have run on previous RMT strike days is the Liverpool to Manchester Airport. Can’t see that changing for these next set of strikes.

When they bother to run, our trains provide excellent prices for families travelling together via the railcards. For two adults and three kids it would have been only £13.80 return, but obviously as much use as a chocolate teapot if there not operating on the day in question.

Wish them well on their pay quest alongside all the other lost souls striking for better remuneration and conditions, but do feel aggrieved for those condemned to a minimum wage who don't have the recourse of strike action and or a union.
At the moment someone over 25 on minimum wage would have to work a full day just to pay for a single ticket to see the mighty blues. Not a political animal persay but that can't be right in any scenario, but unfortunatly it is what it is!

Our run out for two adults and three grandkids for the Burnley game will price in at circa £250, so more of a treat than a way of life. We tend to go on our own more often than not, but would love to take them to all fixtures if not for the fiscal restraint.

Half of 222 is given over to the 93:20 in the Ss/Colin Bell corner, at that price pretty sure you’ll be in there
Theres another 93:20 directly opposite in the east stand

Yes you will be able to access the 93:20 bar, sit in a padded seat and get a free programme
