So.....what happens if you haven't yet had your season ticket sent out, are Priority 1 and don't have it in time for when the Accy and Palace tickets go on sale?( Though Palace would'nt be a problem getting tickets for....) And then the Accy tickets sell out....

Tell the truth, I would be just a tad annoyed if it happens to me.....

Your priority should be carried on the computer.

Accrington tickets are not going to run out. We can have a maximum of 1,600.

Did you wear a LCFC shirt with Dublin on the back and were you on the 5.28 from Kilmarnock to Glasgow Central yesterday ?

There's always reckoned to be about 1.000.

What did Ian Rush say?

Of course! But it's only hearsay. You have only a little scouse kids word for it.

Message to Boc or anyone with the info.

Apologies if this as already been pointed out, but a chap from work told me he was going to Palace, and was surprised when i told him that i didnt think you could reach it by underground because it was too far south of central London. Am i right looking at the opening post i assume you can get a link from Kings Cross to Norwood on a mainline link

The Underground doesn't go anywhere near Selhurst Park. I wrote about the best way of getting there via the National Rail network in another thread yesterday. I will find it and copy it here.

This what I wrote in the other thread - Kings Cross Thameslink is very close to St Pancras - you can follow the signs, or leave St Pancras station and make your way down to the main road. Turn left and pass in front of Kings Cross main-line station. Follow the road straight along and you will soon come to Kings Cross Thameslink station on your right. This is explaining the use of the £4 return ticket that Nottingham mentioned in the first post of this thread:

The £4 ticket from Kings Cross Thameslink to Norwood Junction is a Cheap Day Return. It is only valid in Zones 1-4. It must not be used to catch the faster service to East Croydon (Zone 6) and then to return to Norwood Junction. If you get caught doing this, you will be liable for a £20 penalty fare or to be reported for prosecution.

The correct route on the £4 CDR is to take a First Capital Connect train from Kings Cross Thameslink to London Bridge. Change there onto a Southern or SouthEastern service to Norwood Junction. You could alternatively take a First Capital Connect service to Tulse Hill and change there for a Southern service to Norwood Junction. By the time of your return journey the service pattern will have changed slightly - on the return journey, change at London Bridge - the trains from there to Kings Cross Thameslink leave from Platform 6.

As far as I know that is the cheapest and quickest way of doing it.

Surely just getting a train to Selhurst would be the easiest, well thats what im doing.

It's about the same difficulity still involves 2 changes but a train to Selhurst is more expensive.
