Maybe an issue in the morning but afaik they would be ok? I ain’t travelling there and back by train on a Sunday. If it isnt train strikes it will be engineering works. Any excuse not to run any trains on a weekend , or pretty much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKRam Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Ok so I’m not sure if this has been noticed by anyone on any thread, so I’ll mention now and forgive if Rams are already aware. 27 Dec we play at Bolton. Hoping a mate will sort my ticket and aiming for drinks in Mcr beforehand. So I asks work colleague are Man City or Utd at home on 27th? Erm yes he says we’re at home to Nottingham Florist (my adjustment) Ahhhh says I ?? what times KO? 2000 at Old Trafford….so the drinks pre Bolton could be rather interesting. Let the fun commence.

Foreveram Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 Tickets on sale for Newport to 5+ members at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. Any tickets purchased after 1 pm will have to be collected from the ticket office. We have an allocation of 1,008 tickets, currently there is only about 800 of these showing so presumably there is about another 200 to come if required. Of the seats currently showing it’s unclear whether they are sold or not yet released. what we do know is there are currently 274 uncovered seats and 22 covered seats for sale.

Actually its not the drivers who are striking - it is all the other rail workers, wo most certainly aren't on £50k! And although they haven't had a pay rise in 3 years, it is changes to their terms and conditions, which work out to a massive pay cut, that the strike action is about. Although if you want to get political, the strike has been foced by the government to bring in yet another whole raft of anti-trade union legislation. It is already easier to win a General election with a minority of the votes than it is to call industrial action. archram, JJs dms, Reggie Greenwood and 5 others 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you combine the sick pay, H&S and pensions in the rail industry they are far better paid than the general public. Working from home since covid means the rail industry has to change but trade unions want to still live in the past. hales300k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on topic, if I buy tickets tomorrow before 1pm do you think the postal strike will affect delivery before the weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory no, that’s the reason for the cut off time. In practice, who knows, I ordered mine at 10 o’clock Thursday morning and it hasn’t arrived yet.

Sounds to me like their Union are doing a pretty good job standing up for their members, which is exactly what a Union should do - you know, sticking together for what you believe in through thick and thin...kind of thing I'd would have thought a football fan would grasp.

I work in the rail industry and a trade union member, so I know how good the T&Cs are compared to the general public. I would not rely on trains going to the Newport game on the Sunday as TOCs cannot guarantee where their rolling stock will be or if any staff are willing to cover staff shortages due to the rail dispute.
