You'd think there'd be a reasonable response given the circumstances, but seen as most businesses are still open tomorrow probably not. When was last time a train company gave refunds for solely football reasons? Probably never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 9, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2022 I heard some comments on the radio last night about the muted atmosphere at West Ham and suggestions that maybe players didn't actually want to play it, think it was described as a meaningless game. Whatever the case, irrespective of whether folk think games should or shouldn't have been played, it's once in 70 years, and if the atmosphere within clubs isn't right, then maybe it's better to leave it until they're ready to give the best performance. Equally, if they'd said we'll play, then fair enough. Would be nice to return train ticket money. Certainly not worth arguing over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely government pressure should be exerted for those who have forked out and events have been cancelled, also for those who have booked hotels check if you can cancel today as I know booking.com offer that before 5pm day before.

marple whites Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Couldn’t get train refund, but could transfer it. So changed it to forest green day ( Stockport to Cheltenham) and then just bought a Cheltenham to Stroud ticket. Cost another £20 but better than losing £90.

derrick Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 A top tip.. from a friend... Any #bwfc fans paid for the train to Cheltenham you have until 6pm to change the date for your train free of charge. I know it’s not been rescheduled but pick a random date & change it again once it’s been confirmed if you want to avoid fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I've done with the Cambridge away game in November using tickets for the Ipswich one that was hit by rail strikes, I'll just get off at Ely and change rather than stay on to Ipswich. Only problem is the game was over 3 months later so I used a placeholder date to hold it on... and that date was this weekend. Greater Anglia still not released to timetable for November yet so I need to find another placeholder to move it onto, each time at an attritional admin cost. Never easy is it!

Thanks for the tip.......but the rearranged game will be a night game, so too late to get back in a day. FWIW i'd say that this time it's not the train companies to blame but the football authorities who have called the game off & who are responsible for costing fans money, but i'll not hold my breath waiting for them to reimburse me.

Do you honestly think if we had to UEFA and said no football for a week they would have said no ? We have 10 days mourning but the football authorities have decided that we we use first 4 then start playing again. Presumably be with minutes silence at each game. First game will be scousers at home in Champions League. My point is it would be just as valid to play games this weekend let people come together to show respect as per Govt guidelines and as other sports are doing. On a separate note just seen Charles greeting people outside Buckingham Palace. If it was me I would 100% be wearing the crown 24/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% agree with that point but I think UEFA would say no so as to not cause hassle for themselves and for countries who'd be like "what the fuck has it got to do with us" e.g. Donestk is currently occupied in the middle of a war with most of their fans probably at war themselves if not dead, but they crack on playing in Poland and as it happens UEFA have sold the rights for that game to Russian TV which I think tells you everything you need to know as to why I think UEFA would not be impressed if we postponed games because our queen died the week before - i.e. they don't give a fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
