Notes and comments
- 1 Wheater's Field was the home ground of Broughton Rangers with a capacity of 20,000
gollark: I know a guide to it somewhere, it's not that hard.
gollark: Practically it might be, since presumably you've got the wormhole from the past you can go back through.
gollark: Is it easier to go to the future and back to your original time than to just go to the past? That might make those other time shenanigans easier.
gollark: In *those* I guess the people who don't exist because of timeline alteration "already existed" in some way.
gollark: In some of the sillier ones you effectively have some sort of secondary time axis (because if history "was" X but is "now" Y that implies some sort of metatime).
