Good to know that you`re feeling up to another shot of masochism, Dancing; you must definitely be on the mend. Don`t envy you the experience, though, and it`s great that you seem to be getting over it. I agree with Dev that you`d be very much missed (I haven`t said much of late, for various reasons that I won`t inflict on anybody else, but I`ve still been watching and listening.).

Yes, I`d noticed the concessionary prices for wrinklies as well; seems very reasonable to me. I`ll probably drop the car off at laddo`s and get the train from Newtown so I can have a couple of pints before the game. His Lordship is busy with other things but I`ve been given a permit to use his drive and the missus has said she`ll pick me up from the station when I get back. According to the satnav and the train timetables, the journey time is about the same, so why not? Live life on the razor`s edge!

Apparently, the ground is only about half a mile from the station; anybody know any decent pubs in the vicinity?

Change at Stockport?
