ChippenhamRed Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 5 minutes ago, Portland Bill said: With respect, West Ham won’t give a toss if City fans can’t get there for k/o time. Why rush to that judgement? You don’t know that. Whether they are able to or not is a different question, but they may well do their best to be considerate to the fans.

BanburyRed Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Sounds like an utter disaster on the trains. Hope everyone taking that option gets there safely and on time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends whether the police think a public safety or public order issue will be caused in this particular instance. That trumps anything the FA or West Ham or Bristol City think.

The Metropolitan Police will be the final arbiter of what happens. They might not give a toss either but that will be their call to make not West Ham. Match won't be delayed not in the least as tubes are finishing at 17.30. How will 62,000 fans get home 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Londoner Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Just now, Sir Geoff said: Make sure each and every one of you claims compensation for your delays. Delay repay is 50% back if 60 minutes late and 100% back if 120 minutes late 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thameswey Red Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Trains from Reading running ok - there’s 2 Elizabeth lines an hour and I’ve just got on one. My station should be Swindon , but engineering works today so booked trains from Newbury got a text this morning cancelling the Newbury reading leg as flooded so changed plans and drove to Reading parked in the multistory - plenty of space 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 18 minutes ago, marmite said: Do games usually get held up if travelling fans are late? No, but that doesn’t mean West Ham don’t “give a toss”. I like to think the football family is better than that. If it was the other way around I would absolutely welcome a delay if it meant away fans didn’t miss out at great expense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will 62,000 fans get home That’s the crunch, how will 62,000 fans get home? Those travelling to the match have left at differing times so the problems have been spread. Coming back the problems will be concentrated into a very short time frame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Metropolitan Police will be the final arbiter of what happens. They might not give a toss either but that will be their call to make not West Ham. Total crowd of around 62k. There is probably going to be about 1.5-2k affected. I can't see it being delayed. Just a lot of people missing most of the first half. Went to London Stadium in the summer for MLB. I reckon it'll take around 30 mins from the Elizabeth line stop at Stratford to walk to the ground. Very busy shopping centre there as well.

Jacki Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Stood up all the way but the 9.15 from Temple Meads is on the way and should be at Paddington by 12. Been a joke of a journey but reading this I’m just grateful we’re looking like getting to the game. COYR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I don't know if any decision about a delayed kick off would be partly impacted by the international television coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
