Costello 77 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 1 hour ago, Claudio Tankisco said: Pay extra or ask people to respect the fact that someone has paid for a reserved seat? People on here grumble about people sitting on their seat which they have with a season ticket. Fail to see the difference with either you pay for a seat so you should be able to sit in it and not expect a selfish idiot to refuse to move as there's no other free seats. One of my bugbears on trains. Nobody i know pays reservation fees because the rule simply isn't enforced. Who's going to pay extra for an argument with a pi*sed up idiot? It's totally wrong.

I'm driving down to London this year. If we get there of course. I got 8.00 train last year from Midland Station , and first thing they announced on tannoy was that reservations would not be honoured. Was quite surprised by that , so won't be bothering reserving this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back was an utter joke and standing room only despite having reserved seats and there was NO announcements about reservations not being honoured. Was even better as I as I have a visible disability and the selfish twats (all Wednesday fans too) on our seats STILL refused to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevtheowl Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 The only difference it would make to me is, if it's a later kickoff I would consume more beer before the game than after. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad was a paraplegic and always encountered similar problems. Had it instilled in me from a very early age to care for those less fortunate. Some people !!

Albanian Dave Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Set off at 9am last season to drive to Stanmore. Train to Wembley. Arrived bout 2... coming home left Wembley after the tears, bout 715, back to Stanmore for 9pm, floored it up M1 and in my local for half 11, left there at 4am. No problem. Only problem this season would be setting off at 7am probably but back in the pub for 930 hopefully! Edited May 1, 2017 by Albanian Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's allocated to you when you book a ticket but doesn't cost a penny. Just because you booked early and paid less than someone buying one on the day at double the price. Why should you be entitled to that said seat really? Should just get rid completely and have a first come first seat basis. Kills all the problem.

Surely if they have bought the seat first it's still first come first seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You request one but it costs nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
