FA Cup SF Draw | Sheffield United | Sat 22 Apr 16:45

Have you not ? Road users be they coach or car or minibus are in the vast majority and they’re not selfishly clogging up threads with their woe is me first world problems like you are.

Anybody fortunate enough to be catching a train to London is comparatively affluent.

Have you stoped for a minute to consider anyone’s circumstances other than your own ? You have such a selfish attitude to this issue.

You don`t have to be affluent to travel by train to Wembley, especially if you bought your ticket as soon as we`d won in the last round. However as each day goes by the prices are rising.
I took the gamble and bought my train ticket once we`d beaten Burnley. I`m hoping if it`s a 5:30pm kick off at the latest that the game is finished in 90 mins as I`m on the 20:30 from Euston.

I did the Megabus (home only) after the Brighton semi final, and never again. It was an experience I don`t want to revisit. It took almost 90 mins to get out of London in the late evening. We sat at some random petrol station off the M6 for an age whilst they did a driver change. The stench from the toilet was overpowering. No usb ports worked. The only bonus was that the M56 was closed near the Airport as there was a jumper on the motorway bridge. We abandoned the bus whilst the driver liaised with the Police and got an Uber the short distance across Wythenshawe instead of having to go into Manchester and then make our own way home from there at 3am-ish.
Megabus, there`s a reason why they`re cheap. Never again.

I’ve never done the Megabus though lol.

I know someone on here who has if you want his details.

Someone on the Brighton site has posted this about our game, know idea how he knows or even if it is true but it might make sense.

The issue is the City v Sheff Utd game - they both want an earlier kick-off on Saturday but both the FA and ITV are pushing for a later kick-off.

Sounds about right. Think that's why there's a delay.

 

[bladdered]

Maybe this is the reason for the delay. City have just announced their new official travel partner.

Is that the 22.00 from London that arrives in Doncaster after 23.45? Their last direct train back is the 21:31 that arrives in Sheffield at 23:34. The one before that is 20.30 which they will be hard pushed to catch if the game goes to extra time and penalties. In fact they have no chance if it's a 5.30ko.

if extra time and pens, but if not they could the 20 30 to donny then the22 37 to sheff, i dont take extra time because i think it be over at FT,

Here’s Axel Freed shouting “The M1 is open all night!”

Seeing as you are still here pontificating and insulting everybody, perhaps you can tell me how a coach operator can take bookings on the Friday and Sunday.

10th day after the draw now.

By the same token is anyone who can afford a car and pay the petrol not affluent? round trip is roughly 400 miles and even at 40 mpg the cost of petrol, oil, water, wear and tear is more than a train ticket unless it's an EV. I don't know many people who want to spend four hours plus at 8/9pm getting home. Accept it that many people would prefer an earlier ko such as 3.30 than a 5.30. Maybe you should think of many others with young families who want to get home or older people who don't want to be stuck in London at 9.00 on the M1 behind a Megabus in roadworks. I presume with the schools off soon for half term your moronic ramblings will increase in frequency.

Not only are you selfish but you’re blinkered. You have no perception of the nor empathy for the vast majority of fans and their circumstances - only your own little cabal of older affluent train taking blues.

Your last pejorative comment implying that all young people are stupid only identifies you as an angry out of touch old grumpster.

Here’s hoping for a 1730 kick off time to please the majority of match going blues.

Tomorrow

Just saying ;-)
