    Bradley Chord:- for how long was it disused?

    Thanks....but this thread has clearly been merged with another, older discussion, on the matter. Post 8 was a new thread which was started yesterday. Get your facts straight first.

    Bradley Chord:- for how long was it disused?

    What passenger service ran as late as 1986? A diverted trans pennine service? Around 1988/89 time we used to ride our bikes along the line. By this time the line had become overgrown and the track rusted. As far as I remember it was single track at this point.

    Football

    League One and Two clubs probably aren't going to vote for another relegation place to the NL, it's like turkeys voting for Christmas. I do agree though, as a fan of the game, that a 3rd promotion place needs granting, got the good of the game. The 3rd bottom place in L2 should go in to the...

    Reduced capacity at Wembley stadium due to engineering works - has anything like this happened before?

    That's like the FA saying they don't expect Liverpool and Manchester United to meet in the FA Cup final when reaching the semis, jeez.

    Reduced capacity at Wembley stadium due to engineering works - has anything like this happened before?

    Maybe it's poor planning from TFL? The National League stated the final was booked a year in advance, either one of them are lying or there has been a serious communication breakdown between the FA and TFL over communicating that a final was booked and that also engineering works are booked...

    Reduced capacity at Wembley stadium due to engineering works - has anything like this happened before?

    It would be interesting to know which was booked in first, the final or the engineering work? I'm not sure whether the National League block book 5 years finals in advance say or whether they do it year by year. Irrespective of whether they know which clubs are participating in the final, the...

    Reduced capacity at Wembley stadium due to engineering works - has anything like this happened before?

    Last week was the FA Cup final, this weekend is the EFL play off final weekend, next week is the Nationsl League Play Off final, England have 2 home games in the coming weeks and no doubt a summer programme of concerts, so yes, I would say it's a busy period for Wembley, these finals happen...

    Reduced capacity at Wembley stadium due to engineering works - has anything like this happened before?

    Is engineering work not done in the 'depths of winter'. I'm not really sure what your point is that you're making? I get it needs to be done but just not during Wembley stadiums busy time of the year, surely you can see that and the consternation it's causing?

    Reduced capacity at Wembley stadium due to engineering works - has anything like this happened before?

    The actual point of all this is why, when there are huge chunks of the calendar year when the stadium is not in use for sporting events or music concerts would you schedule engineering work to be done at the stadiums busiest time when Wembley Park station is there, purposefully, to move large...

    Reduced capacity at Wembley stadium due to engineering works - has anything like this happened before?

    You wouldn't do it when 40000 football fans are wanting to turn up though....surely?

    Reduced capacity at Wembley stadium due to engineering works - has anything like this happened before?

    I also would imagine thst there will be large periods where Wembley isn't in use. I bet there wasn't one game/event, without checking anyway, between Christmas and the League Cup final in February, I might be wrong mind. Outside England internationals domestically I bet Wembley Stadium doesn't...

    Reduced capacity at Wembley stadium due to engineering works - has anything like this happened before?

    You're quite right but I bet these 2 have the highest average attendances in the National League so it would figure that higher ticket sales could well be higher. Just stinks a bit really.

    Reduced capacity at Wembley stadium due to engineering works - has anything like this happened before?

    The FA Cup final scheduled for the same weekend every year, the EFL play off finals are always at Spring Bank and the National League Play Off final brings the curtain down the week after. You're not telling me that TFL would schedule engineering works when they know the FA Cup final and the...

    Reduced capacity at Wembley stadium due to engineering works - has anything like this happened before?

    I've been to Wembley Stadium numerous times and not once have I used Wembley Park. Do you think this would have happened last week for the FA Cup final? So why should the National League Play Off final be subject to punitive measures? I could understand if that was the only station but it...
