The Cup Final return travel issue

[urban genie]

Has the kick off time been confirmed?

No but it has been 5ish for last few years so no reason to expect that to change.

If they moved it back to the traditional 3pm then travel back would be no problem for any club

They put extra trains on last night

City need to get on the case now.

Maybe City Supporters Club should hire a train if City do not

 

[meeesh]

They put extra trains on last night

They did,I got on the 20.54 in the end,there was plenty time to spare,although no watching lifting the trophy or lap of honour yesterday,cup final will be so different,if we win of course,even a train at 21.30 you'd be pushing it

Yeah amd they did that last minite as in a week or so before , but atm there isn't any planned for 6 weeks time and they are already ramping up the price to nearly £80.

Hence me saying do we need to pressure them now to announce extra trains and prices imediately so people know what to plan

You are right, as staffsblue was alluding to the other week. VT only plan extra trains based on sales, so all advance tickets go straight away, others start booking at the rip off prices then as sales peak they decide to put extra trains on.
If no one booked there would be no extra trains.

It's all bollocks really and not easy for fans to get a decent priced train ticket apart from the early planners who know they will get a match ticket.

Why don't the fans representatives get something done regarding a major issue like this rather than chatting shite about non issues on here

City should sort some special trains out and get Cheesy on board selling sandwiches

 

[Maccblue]

That's not my intention will stay over rather than that

what I mean generally though that is tge last train home and if you discount that then it is even more of a ball ache with number of trains and if ET happens the trains cannot handle the volume of fans

Booked travel lodge Watford at the final whistle them trains when we go to Wembley just not worth the pain
Easier to drive

The last few seasons the final has been played while premier league games are going on, hence the late kick off. Surely this year it being played after the season ends should mean an earlier kick off?

That was 4 years ago and happened once, they moved the time to accomodate and have left if at 5pm or 5:30pm since

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Oh yes the days of the football special return

With Ian Cheeseman making / selling the butties in the guards van and Daft Donald blagging 10p off everyone on the way home for his bus fare back into. Middleton.

isn't this where the supporters club (kevin parker) should step in and help out. what do they actually do to help out our fans?
