See you have brought me in again...
I recall getting to Barrow in about 2 hours in 1960 and rail transport supposed to have improved and so just checked train times and its just over 2 hours...What a memory!
No, the team could have gone on the train mid morning and be picked up at the station...Its all a load of bosh to claim the Alex were not a professional club back then. Even more so as few non players were around the team in those days and now we have half a dozen managers/coaches at each game and lose 3-0 to tranmere and Barrow...
I told you players used to travel twice as far on the same day as the match and were very successful...
Too many easy days means too many difficult games and no incentives in fact just like today. Can someone explain the purpose of an academy to come up with such abject performances? We could have saved 5 players weekly wage today by stopping these overnight trips....or tripe as I printed first...
