However he fell ill and couldn't go at all - so i went with youngest and he was mascot instead..Used to be a season ticket holder but I live in NI now and only get to games 1 or 2 times a year. PM me if anyone feels moved to assist in calming my nerves about tickets... flights booked so at worst i'll be watching it on telly at my mates house in Yorkshire!


Why are you flying to Yorkshire if the game's at Wembley?
coz my mate lives there - he kindly agreed to drive down and flights significantly cheaper than to airports purportedly 'near' London but really many miles away

BTW can we not turn TW into a touting website?

Tickets for sale should be sold at face value, no more, and certainly no less.....I keep chuckling at everyone offering to pay face value, like those with will be selling it for less!!

IT is good to make sure everyone has the opportunity etc dont get me wrong, just don't want to become a haven for people trying to rip others off if that happened, which i don't think it has to be fair yet.

Loving the picture of the train they are using to advertise the official train service, get that 1958 feeling all over again!

I agree.

And I'd also like to think that our long-term contributors will get priority over those simply signing up to get some.*

Might seem harsh to folk who are worrying but LK is right

Also posters are going to be more comfortable passing a ticket with their name on on to people they 'know'

Especially as it has the purchasers name on it

Maybe showing my age, but that's diesel

Hardly 1958

I suspect the significance is that it's the actual train - I'd not trust my expensive stock to football fans

I knew people would say that :) - according to this they started using diesels in the 50s.

Not exactly 1950's vintage prices though are they?! And no boozing either!

Spoke to the ticket office as my mate is considering it, £85 for North Lower for 4 games. Not bad but it starts being a bit of an expense purely for Wembley.

yeah i looked into it, no boozing and official stewards in each carriage to make sure you conform. feck right off! were not at school. Who is gonna pay £65 for that when they can just get a temperance coach for half that?

Fortunately our 4 ST's means we can accommodate two WAG's, who will be designated drivers in return! :pissed:
