Honestly they are great, usually use the rail card for 2/3 away games a year and then some summer trips with the rest of the family.
Open return when there’s 1000’s trying make their way back to Paddington isn’t a bad idea.
If you look to use the train for away trips regularly with your son, you should look at getting a friends and family railcard.
I paid around £50 for me and my son’s return for West Ham. The savings made that day cover the price of the railcard.
Watford away is a crap away day. The only redeeming factor is usually being able to get up there on the train and have a beer in London after the game, which isn’t possible on Boxing Day.

This isn’t the gotcha moment you think it is.
Everyone is using data now, it’s how you use that data. In terms of modern football, his comments here are definitely not out of the ordinary.
Hopefully we can start sticking the ball in the back of the net so this kind of nonsense can stop.
1k tickets being sold for profit
If there’s 1.5k of no shows (given these people will be looking to either give away or sell their ticket face value) there will be no market for anyone to sell tickets on for a profit.
Isn't this more of an issue of them allowing access early? They never restrict access until bang on 10am?
Whenever I am buying tickets I usually start refreshing the online page from about half past/20 to the hour.
Untrue, I did have a go at trying to get tickets for my mates who hadn’t been to 3 away games to see if it was possible but you get an error message and the checkout button is blanked out.
You tried throwing this around the other day, on what basis do you keep this idea that there will be plenty of City fans looking to rip off fellow City supporters?
There’s around 6200 left out of c8900 so around 2800 sold.
Hard to say how many will go on Friday morning but it wouldn’t surprise me if there wasn’t many left come Friday afternoon.
I’ve attended the 3 away games so I can get access to the West Ham page on the ticketing website.
Annoyingly only a couple of the group I’m going with have done the 3 so got to wait till Friday so we can all sit together.
I don’t think you’ve done that at all, I just think you’ve cocked up not assigning your mates in the first place. Especially, as someone who attends a fair few away games, you’d surely knew there will be games where priority sales periods would come into play.
