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

[Centurions]

I’m not sure what people are expecting City to say. We don’t know yet but we’ll tell you when we do?

Yep, people want updates every 10 minutes to let them know there's no updates.

Are you still mates with our ' leader ' and supportive of his action re the KO time ?

Do you know more than us minions ?

If so, I think we should be told !!

Well I am shocked lol.

I will let you into a secret mate. The media cover what they think is of interest to the public. Making a big deal of kick off times for “the Club with no fans” as they see it, doesn’t fit their bill. Someone in City says we’ve got empty seats and it’s wall to wall coverage.

It’s clear where the responsibility for not announcing the kick off times yet lies with. It’s the TV companies and FA

 

[Axel Freed]

Put our case publicly strongly,factually and coherently.

Doesn't sound too difficult now does it.

He appears on Sly tv outside the ground discussing the CL draw.

How about creating a public stir about the SF kick off time for cash strapped fans in a cost of living crisis facing rail travel difficulties.

He should also be talking to the most financially successful club on the planet about putting 100 subsidised coaches on for fans.

Instead....NOTHING.... 9 NINE 9 DAYS and counting !!

It's not acceptable from our 'leader' !!

Get on or get out !!

Me me me me me me. Why should Kevin make a song and dance about a tiny minority of more affluent fans who can afford to travel by train,

How’s about the 90% of fans who don’t travel by train ?

Once again …….. M1 open all night, Megabus £20

Or they could say 'we have asked for xx but Itv want xx. The FA haven't responded to our phone calls as yet so fuck knows what's happening '
OK they might leave the last bit out but you get the drift. At least we'd know they were trying to sort it.

sheff utd fans could get the 22.00 from london to doncaster and then get the 23-45 to sheffield

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.

Making your negotiating position public isn’t usually very helpful if you’re trying to be persuasive.

Have you not been banned yet. You don't have to be affluent to catch a train. My daughter and I have caught trains to the likes of Arsenal, West Ham, Spurs etc for less than £90 return in total because we can book well in advance. And whilst this isn't as cheap as your precious MegaBus it shows affluence doesn't matter if people are organised. What you aren't saying though is the train is 2 hours whilst your mode of transport is nearly five. If you want to be petty you could hitch hike for nothing or even travel the 'Daft Donald way' so the kick off time doesn't matter. There are many who travel to the games by train, far more than by Megabus or even supporters coaches, just accept it and stop being an arse. And whilst I am in the zone why can't we know now when the FA Final ko is, so that if we do beat Sheffield and I stress if as it isn't a given people can book transport next month and not wait weeks. Will it be 3.00pm as it should be or not? What are the FA waiting for, it won't matter who the teams in the final are anyweay so just announce the time now

Ha ha, "later trains put on"

It's 2023 not 1983.

No one gives a shit if fans can't get home on a train, sadly

I did say maybe

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.
