I had the same problem last Sunday. With a the bleeding line work they do on a Sunday, and replacement bus services delaying the journey, it was a friggin nightmare getting back from Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I do have the safety net of being able to get back from most places via London, but it's still a pain, especially on a Sunday. On a previous Sunday, I had to travel to Northampton ( about an hour away by car ) the train journey took me 4 hours via Coventry, and 5 hours back via London Unbelievable, and quite scandalous considering the prices they charge. In fact, the whole rail network is not fit for purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopePiusX Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'm going, although I am currently in Norfolk so I shouldn't pretend it's some great effort. It is not really a great effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, no not at all, if that's what you think, keep your opinion to yourself. I made it clear that the people who can go but refuse to and hold out for the big games, will be up in arms when they can't get a ticket, but I won't lose any sleep about it, ill have my ticket.

TAOWL267 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I've been doing 20 odd aways a season for 27 years and I've knocked it on the head this season. Finally lost patience with Sky messing about with fixture dates and times. Appreciate won't get first dibs on big game tickets anymore but I'll just have to live with it. Mate of mine doing the same.
