So , is it the distance you travel or the fact that you are not a Newby that is the main issue.
Should age , and therefore the length of time one has supported City be a factor, similarly should the distance one travels be part of a criteria ?
Empty seats and away fans in home areas are issues for the club and for fans at the game, I think the club are doing their best to fix some issues.
What would your criteria be ?

Hi all
Just got tickets for the family for City v Palace on Saturday, 27 August.
Trying to book train tickets back to London on the Sunday but all the websites are saying their are no fares/tickets available. Any idea what's going on?
Train strike??
I'm confused... :-(

I'd take it to mean that there MAY be strikes in the pipeline.

Anybody know how soon you can put your tickets on the exchange for the Palace game? Got a family thing booked and took a punt that we’d be away that day or, hopefully, on the tv. Sadly neither came to pass so I’ll be putting 2 ST’s up once able.

I don’t think so, it’s just that Avanti tend to not have many advance tickets for weekends until nearer the time, presumably so they can ensure they’re not too cheap!
Look at going through Leeds. Usually cheaper and nicer trains.

-FA Cup 4th round
- league cup semi leg 2
- spurs away
give me anyone at home for 4th round, should be easy enough for tickets.

RE Avanti trains & the puzzling lack of discounted tickets, particularly compared to the east coast line; worth pointing out London Northwestern have put their early bird £9.50 fares to Crewe from Euston back on. Obviously means a split slightly longer journey & the extra leg to Piccadilly (from £3.50) but looking at national rail for 13th August Avanti prices are between £32 & £68 departure 8-10am...

Nice one. Thanks for communicating as wasn't aware of this alternative route.
Anyone actually travelled on this London Northwestern to Manchester route via Crewe?
Missus travelled on one of their trains pre-COVID from London Euston to Birmingham New Street & had a nightmare.

Yes I've used it several times. If you're going from Euston you want the 46mins past the hour service which follows the west coast mainline route to Crewe. Stops pretty much everywhere after Milton Keynes but at just over 2 hours it's still not bad. There is another service that goes via Cov, Brum, Wolves & eventually on to Crewe taking over 3hrs but avoid that by going on the :46 mins past.
You can take your pic of services to Piccadilly from Crewe, there's one at £3.50 for 55mins or a faster service, there's loads.
Generally if I'm back on the same day I'll travel back direct as the stop & change is a bit of a faff but there's still a significant saving on one leg of the journey even if you have to take a hit on the full whack return.
If I'm staying over I'll do the journey in reverse at £26 return that's not bad at all.

Another decent option that I use for getting down and back from London is Grand Central between Bradford and KingsX. You can normally get advanced tickets at £16. Stops at Halifax as well for trains into M/c Victoria.
