Day Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Good luck getting back from Portsmouth at that time. From the broadcaster point of view, I get it, huge game. Fans though? Just another 2 fingers up.

AGR Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 This needs regulating now. If the away supporters are unable to get home via train it shouldn't be allowed, simple as.

Grumpy Git Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Absolute shiithouses. It's just like Sunday teatime KO's for Wembley finals / semi-finals (I know it's nothing we have to be worried about), but for most fans its a hotel + a day off work on Monday instead of a day out on Saturday.

The only train back to derby after the match takes 8hrs 40min There's bound to be someone on here with contacts... wonder if EMR fancy running a special St Pancras to Derby service at around 02:05 departure from London? Or CrossCountry a 23:50ish from Southampton? Either would be preferable to a night in Pompey! Not that it should even be an issue if fans were even considered ahead of money!

Mucker1884 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 As a selfish oaf, I'm good with this. More likely to be doing "other stuff" on a BH Monday afternoon. I can now pay the £11.99 for a NowTV day pass, and sit comfortably watching from my sofa (or cowering from behind it!) But that's me... not even a half fan, in the grand scheme of things. As a caring person however, I feel livid on behalf of those that matter... those that travel far and wide, week in, week out, for little reward and even less gratitude, all in the name of loyalty and love towards our beloved footy team. Some may have to literally cancel their plans, purely due to the "impossibility" of the travel. Others will have to follow a BH weekend by having to book time off work on the Tuesday to travel there, and the Wednesday to factor in the journey home/late hours. It truly is a pish take! All I can say is, we'd better win, go top, and those that do travel spend the evening singing anti-Sky chants! I'll even be hypocritical, and join in from my sofa! 🐏 SKRam, AlvoRam!, Sweetness34 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreveram Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I booked the hotel for Sunday and Monday night and then drive back on Tuesday. My wife has a long standing hospital appointment on the Wednesday morning. The hotel was £20 a night more for cancellation which I didn’t think was worth paying, so now I’ll use the £40 saved towards staying Tuesday night and then set off back home about 7am. Cheers SKY. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WystonRam Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Hotel cost gone , non refundable. Expected a tv slot but 1230 or 1730 on the Monday. Utter merchant bankers. Adslegend and cstand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have realised! So yes, with that, I'll save myself a couple of quid and put my tenner to RamsTV... and still sing the anti-Sky songs. Win Win! 🍻👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
