This is an interesting read from Daniel Taylor in the Guardian, especially the bit about scheduling the long trips for a Tuesday night

Another story today, this time from When Saturday Comes, and the relationship between fans and trains

You go me on the alarm clock
Excellent read by (in my opinion) a very good journalist. No surprise that Harvey has ducked answering the straight questions that were posed to him. What would it take to get him booted out of his CEO role? A majority of clubs forming a vote of no confidence? Would be interested to learn as, if the clubs do have a voice in whether he stays in the role, this could be something to put forward at our own Trust AGM for further thought.

To be fair, it was always common knowledge that the Football League would tend to put longer trips on a Tuesday night - and it does make sense. This isn't exactly a world exclusive uncovered here.

I can't get to many away games for various reasons, but the likes of Newport, Swindon, Cheltenham and FGR are all possible for me on a Saturday. It's unlikely I'd be able to make any of those on a Tuesday.
