Shame I looked forward to going to the racecourse and the turf.

bad memories of the turf snakey

Don't ask for a piece of the turf or they will tell you to sod off

I've Just been explaining this to Doreen and it doesn't look like we can make it now because Doreen is disabled and is worried about not getting a seat and being stranded in the middle of Wales on a Sunday afternoon!

Pinocchio is right, this Cefn place is in the middle of nowhere, I once went to the nearby Pontcysyllte aquaduct, and all I could see was Welsh farmland, woods and rivers for miles around, I would have trouble getting buses and trains especially on a Sunday.

My Whitehaven curse strikes again, last year I had the money to get to the West Cumbrian derby and the wanderlust, nothing was going to stop me until I got the worst bout of Flu I have ever had at exactly the same time.

I'll look into the remaining fixtures and see what I can do, but it's not a good idea for disabled fans to be stranded in the middle of nowhere with no transport on a Sunday so we will have to jib this one.

We were really looking forward to it too, last time we met Shaun we had a whale of a time, even Doreen was just saying what a laugh we had at Leigh, but what do you have to do to meet your friends these days?

Anyone know why they have changed venues in the first place?

Crusaders had to change venue because there pitch is getting upgraded

So there would have been a possibility of this happening up here if havens new shares stadium with Whitehaven AFC had happened?

it dosnt look a bad ground, hopefully we will be able to go behind the posts either half like we normally do.

Why don't you just sit in that stand Shaun?  it's nice and central and holds about 500 according to the website.  Or do the home fans take precedence?

This is one of the reasons I am against it, Doreen is disabled and if she can't get a seat at the match it would be an ordeal for her.
I might still change my mind yet, and plead disability at the ground just to get a seat, I am always changing my mind.  Even today I am thinking of buying a last minute ticket for the Etihad despite saying I wouldn't bother this year, but the sun is shining now.

If I do change my mind about this Cefn Mawr place, I will let you know in good time, I will try to get a seat at the ground, even if it's only for Doreen and perhaps I could still get that lift into Wrexham or Chester, so I don't get stranded.
I think I can make it there on time, it's just getting back that's the problem, like I (and Pinocchio) said in a previous post, Cefn Mawr is in the middle of nowhere pal.

Which was pointed out to them but ignored on all the 'consultants' documents.
