Admin phantom Posted August 22, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Lots of cancellations as GWR have made a pigs ear of the annual leave, this has happened on numerous occasions this year already.

JulieH Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Met with South Wales police command team at Swansea stadium today for the final meeting. Also present were British transport police . i can confirm the trains are not dry trains I asked him about possible cancellations and he stated at this stage they had revived no notifications of that from the rail companies. game as you all know is a sellout for away fans and only limited home tickets available to buy so hopefully should be a great atmosphere. Had a quick look around the stadium , very nice . there is a beam back at the gate so would urge those who haven’t managed to get tickets and want to see the game to consider that location.

Both clubs discuss away allocation in the early stages of planning the fixture , there is no police involvement in this discussion. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben4BCFC Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 So last minute, my Swansea supporting mate has had to miss the game, and I was planning on staying at his but now can't. No transport home sorted, what train is everyone getting? Is the 17.54 reachable in time or do people think we're likely to be kept in after the game?

You should have no problem getting this You could walk it in under 30 minutes, but there are buses from the away end (£1.50) that go back to the station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 On a very busy train to Swansea. Loads of City fans in good spirits and not causing any probs. Even seen one young lad (early 20'sl) give up his seat to an old lady who asked what team he supported. Him and his mates are chatting to her like old mates so credit to him for showing football fans in a good light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Quite a few police here to greet us off the train but all very friendly. People asking where they could drink and were being told pretty much only The Grand Hotel opposite the station so people were heading there.
