Off peak return train ticket question

Sorry to sound a bit dim, but I have never booked tickets for myself.

I want to go to Warrington on Friday (won a comp woo! ;)) and come back Saturday.

I don't want a rigid timetable because if something goes wrong with the kids, I want the option of taking the next train instead of having to pay a premium.

I've found an off peak return ticket and have a seat reservation for 14.20 but I am not sure if this means I HAVE to take the this train or can I just get any? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

    If you have an Off Peak ticket, it is valid on all Off Peak trains (For Birmingham Stns to Warrington Stn, First Off Peak service is the 09:20) the seat reservation for the 14:20 is a bonus and not compulsory. But remember you won't have a seat reservation is you travel on another service.
