Going to come over for a game before the end of the season and I'm just wondering what's the best way for me to get to the reebok ? Last time I got a boat to Holyhead then got a bus, it was a nightmare. Anyone got a suggestion ?

Fly. Then train to Horwich.

Yep. And, as I recall, a direct one to Horwich Parkway. I'm sure others will advise.

From the airport Station get on the Preston train. It stops at Horwich Parkway just across from the Reebok. The Blackpool train goes to Horwich but doesn't stop at the Parkway.

It always annoys me that they decided to name Belfast Airport after a complete nice person.

Flying to Liverpool can be a lot cheaper than Manchester and is an easy train or bus across to Manchester for about £10-15. Do your sums on both routes if the flights suit.

I thought the Blackpool Notrh trains stopped at the Reebok, but I am not a regular and did get it wrong once. I was sitting oneth train in Bolton daydreaming and then looked out the windo as the train pulled away from the station to see a load of white shirts gettin on the train on the opposite platform :laugh:
