Fixture & Ticket News 2021/22

Brighton
Saturday 8pm kick off

What a total fudging joke

So I'm in the automatic cup scheme, and in what has not been an easy week Spurs wise (I'll make my 3rd trip down this week from Leeds on Sunday) they announce this. Assuming I get to Kings Cross at a reasonable price, I'm not guaranteed to be able to get to WHL, certainly not on my usual route (unless I'm reading this wrong). Either way it's a shower of sh!te.

Tube strike
There is planned strike action every Friday and Saturday night between 20:30 and 04:29 the following morning until Sunday 19 June.

If these strikes go ahead, normal services are expected on the Victoria line, while we expect the Central line to run a regular service through central London, with at least two trains per hour.

Customers using Victoria or Central line services on Friday and Saturday nights between 19:00 and 06:00 the following morning are advised to check before they travel. Customers are also able to check when their next service will be via our Tube webpage.

All other Tube lines will run their normal daytime services during these strikes, with the last Tubes in central London leaving around 01:00 and starting again at 05:30.

Night Overground services between Highbury & Islington and New Cross Gate are not affected by this action.

For full information on these strikes, please visit the website.
 
Sack that can't get back anyway last train out of Kings Cross is 22:00 (although I might just make the 22:30 out of St Pancras to Derby and wait 9 hours for the connection home).

As I say, absolute shower of sh!te!

and for me Greater Anglia are running a Sunday timetable all week too because of lower passenger numbers
I was really looking forward too and hoping for a Saturday 3pm, our first for 2 1/2 years at home but no

Fans also need to build in the possibility of extra time and penalties. Obviously we'd hope that wouldn't be needed but it puts a possible 11pm-ish finish on the cards.

Edit : only just realised that whilst this is being re-arranged for TV, it's going to be on ITV4 ffs. So they're not even putting it on a main channel. We get £100k for being on TV - that won't cover the lost revenue from people deciding to give it a miss. Plus not exactly a family friendly time. Shambles all round really.

I was hoping for another family game as I would have took the wife and kids
The tickets are cheaper when they do that of course but I still spent plenty in the ground on food and drinks and also in the shop
Missed trick again IMO
Sunday after Morecambe the shop was heaving. I’ve never seen it like it TBH
 
Children's tickets for a Cat C game, are all £25 or less (half adult price), although not £10 for Under 18s it's not massively higher.
The difference though is for morecombe it was £40 or £50 for a family ticket …
The cat C would be two adults at £50 each and 2 kids at £25 each …
Big jump when we our kids may not actually care about being there
 

There’s some interesting stuff in that thread. However - they are comparing apples with oranges. West Ham and Arsenal publish sold ticket prices rather than bums on seats.

There were apparently lots of empty spaces at both of their recent home games where large attendances were published.

Every team will be going through post Xmas/covid/busy schedule and fans will be picking and choosing which games they can go to.

Having said all of that - I do wonder if people are starting to stay away based on the general lack of ambition?

Lots of responders saying “Sunday will be full”. I don’t think a crunch home game against our biggest rivals is the acid test - let’s see how things develop after the window has closed. But it’s certainly not worth comparing against the other 2 teams.
 
I don' think Sunday will be full, will be 60k but not at capacity
We used to have a good few hundred Korean fans which we don't get now due to restrictions

Of course, when taking more than one child then it's going to start adding up. It was that if taking one child it's not a huge amount more.
 
but this and the fact it's expensive too and we're not exactly seeing a product on the pitch anyway that befits that price
And as you often share, the KO times aren’t helpful. Move a game for tv, some people decide to watch it on tv!
