Return of Supporters

Eccles Blue said:
Not being an apologist for the club or Supporter Services or anything but I am sure they are doing their best and are probably tearing their hair out trying to do what is right for our supporters. We are the ones who have to travel and therefore it will have been a nightmare getting the numbers right. i.e. Those who want to travel under their own steam (well ok by car not steam train!!) those who want to go by coach because maybe they don't like trains, those who want to go by train. The train one is the nightmare one really because the powers that be who built/build station platforms didn't take into account that they might need longer ones!! That is in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM, Manchester City's fault.
As for the tests, again they are following Government guidelines/orders.

City are going with what they can and doing the best they can. Sorry. If this is considered a rant then rant over.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO IS GOING. STAY SAFE, TAKE CARE. If you are allowed to shout/cheer then cheer/shout twice as loudly for those of us who are not going. Thank you.

My rants aren't amimed at City, more at the Government and whoever is running the ERP. I know it's not easy but seen so may times that they lack commn sense and logistical experience. So none of it aimed at City and I agree with your sentiments.

Fair enough @Eccles Blue but what are your thoughts on how the OSC have dealt with the issue?

Sorry I think I miseed your first 104 posts, must check next time. They used to be able to stop there so can't imagine they have shortened the platforms. Would be easy enough to organise. I've been on plenty of trains where they announce the platform is short and you can only exit from Carriage A, B, C etc. That would be better than getting 750 Blues from Euston to Wembley.

They used to have up to 13 coaches on football specials to Wembley Central but (a) people had to walk through the end carriages to get off (or on) and (b) carriages were shorter and (c) there weren't as many other trains to move out of the way. From what has been said the Pendolinos can't use Wembley Central because the sliding doors not on the platform can't be isolated, and even a nine-coach Pendolino is 60m longer than the platform. And unless you use heritage train sets, I'm not sure there is much spare stock for special trains these days.

Have they given return times for the trains? That's the problem for getting back to Euston; going there people will be staggering journey times, but they'll all be coming back at the same time.

Hey I don’t work for supporter services. Just trying to help and reassure people who were concerned and thinking of going that they wouldn’t get money back if they test positive that they will.

I am not blaming you for the club's poor communication. There is mention of refunds on the link, just that you can't attend if positive.

732 left (at least for NW ) ew criteria expected soon.
