[camberwell fox]

My, we are popular aren't we?

 

[Motown Fox]

Feel a bit for the fans going to the Arsenal game who booked train and hotel already.

 

[Lako42]

Stupid ****ing ****s.

Are we seriously at a stage where these bastards wait until a few days after a game is sold out and then change the date?

It's 3 weeks away FFS!!

Broke the news to my little lad who was really looking forward to the Newcastle game that i got him a ticket for but he can't go now as its too late for him.

Cheers Sky.

 

[City Fan]

What a ****ing shambles. Thankfully I'm one of the lucky ones who's driving to the Arsenal game so haven't pre booked train tickets.

 

[Fox Fan]

I asked @lcfchelp on twitter (run by Jim) if I could get one of the tickets refunded for the spurs game as it was moved at short notice. Apparently you can't get it refunded.

In the end I could use the ticket and Jim did say he was going to investigate, so this may not be 100% the case, but when you're moving matches with 3 weeks notice you should also be making provisions for fans that will no longer be able to attend.

 

[M17TT C]

And Sky/BT should have to reimburse the club for any refunds as it is out of the clubs hands.

Even six weeks notice is not enough when the cheapest train tickets go on sale twelve weeks in advance.

And I'm sure that we have had less notice than this in the past. Was it a Burnley game that was moved from Tuesday to Wednesday a few seasons back? I remember going to Wigan v Middlesbrough on the Tuesday instead and then going on to Burnley for our rearranged game.

This sort of fiasco was probably the major factor in me stopping going to games.

No Boc - it wasn't a Burnley game that was moved from Tuesday to Wednesday - it was the Accrington game that the OS originally advertised as being on the Wednesday but was finally played on the Tuesday. I then went to Wigan on the Wednesday so I only had to buy one new travel ticket rather than two - Megabus IIRC.

This post was the reminder. Nearly nine ****ing years ago and I still feel bitter!

Maybe train companies could be encouraged to have a selection of cheaper dares available closer? Maybe some sort of football traveller card system?

Spurs cup replay messed me about had already arranged time off for the Tuesday and then had to rearrange for the Wednesday
