No trains between London Bridge and South Bermondsey for 2 hours either side of the game to due strike action! This has got to be a joke - 2 hours before and 2 hours after the game…..how convenient! Just over two weeks before the game too when pretty much everyone will have booked their trains! Me included Be interesting to see the Mets plans for this in the lead up to the game……hopefully, be some further comms on the coming days…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still get to London, just might be difficult getting from London Bridge to the ground. 21 bus goes close or Tube to Canada Water.

Loosey Boy Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Just checked and you can still book trains between London Bridge and S Bermondsey before and after the game - there’s no indication of industrial action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only indication of any problem appeared on the Millwall MET liaison account It's worth pointing out it greatly impacts home support too, I guess we just sit back and wait for more information nearer the time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 One more thought. Allocation is what it is and I understand the reasons etc. Sticking home and away fans in the same stand, a 2 tier one at that for not exactly the lowest category game first home game of the season for them. Well it makes us sticking the Singing Section so far from the away fans look rather ridiculous. Granted Millwall don't usually sell the lower tier but it does make our restrictions look rather ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reigate Red Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 A few seasons ago (2018?) there were also no trains to and from South Bermondsey/London Bridge stations as South Bermondsey was closed for maintenance works in the area. I walked from Canada Water tube station - think it took about half an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 I'm trying to find out what is going on. I don't understand how a strike is exactly 2 hours before and after, we sure this isn't a trolll account? If London Bridge to South Bermondsey ever gets shut get train from London Bridge to New Cross Gate or for much more frequent get a tube to Canada Water then Overground down to Surrey Quays (where it kicked off with Everton) or New Cross Gate again walkable from both. With the Elizabeth Line I actually think the fastest way to the Den is now Paddington to Whitechapel change to Overground. No "cowards way" but best part or London 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Southern Trains website is saying that there is an ASLEF ban on non contractual overtime from Monday 7th - Saturday 12th. This is not a strike merely drivers refusing to do overtime. As long as Southern Trains employ enough drivers for the work required then there will be no issues. If services are suspended 2 hours before and 2 hours after any local football matches then this will be a decision made by Southern Trains.

I use Southern Rail most days and an OT ban means a much reduced service with some stations (e.g. mine!) having no service at all. I can therefore believe this - particularly as it's a weekend. I'm waiting on the revised timetable to find out how I can get to and from London first before worrying about getting to South Bermondsey!!

Loosey Boy Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Have we been given more tickets? Late last week, there were less than 20 left and then yesterday, there was over 100 available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman Mao Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 I see these are now collection only. I live in London so this isn't an option. Has anyone had any luck before buying some tickets and then picking them up from a supporters coach or drop off point near to the ground if I phone the ticket office?

RedM Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Any away tickets not collected are taken on the coaches, usually with @JerrySLO, and can be picked up at the stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Seems some odd arrangements. Collection only and a relatively lower allocation vis a vis the 2k or 10 pct of capacity rule. I hope we do the same to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have picked up tickets at away games a few times (even Millwall before) with no problem. Just need to hang around if the coach is later than expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
