[Albion] Palace home game moved to Wed 15th - RMT Strike on Thursday 16th March

[Lenny Rider]

Can it be postponed again please, I’m sponsoring the Match ball but am in Spain?

Problem is with the last rail strike it was a nightmare getting to and from the stadium. Think there was a thread to support this. The P&R was not set to merge the demand from the supporters displaced by the railstrike​

Being evening KO is worse in many respects because I believe more Palace will take the afternoon off come down by train (limited service will probably run until about 5pm) so they will be well tanked up looking for trouble just as everyone scrambles for busses to get to Falmer. Yeah the P & R wont be able to handle the demand and the shuttle busses (if put on) will struggle. If i recall it was also the chaos of where to get that bus back afterwards that caused a lot of issues ....then its Palace a recipe for disaster.

Called observation, remember you (Just you) started a thread yet again about season ticket card charge so no doubt as you think you represent all fans or customers who go to home games they share your opinion

I really dont see the point of continuing this I see there is an ignore button. I prefer constructive argument,

15th would be a disaster if there is a strike on 16th, they all start knocking off early the night before.

The Wednesday would be fine, as the strike doesn’t come into affect until 00:01. So that only people signing on after 00:01 are on strike, everyone covering overnight and late turns are fine

I am sure you don't given constructive argument means I only want what I want to you

They've had months to rearrange this and the Bournemouth game. Absolutely no reason why they could'nt have been played already. This week was free, for example.

I'm really looking at the club to actively seek to rearrange fixtures without rail transport, I appreciate they don't have all the say in this but they have a lot of influence and seeing as they built the ground hooked on rail transport I think they have a responsibility to make a very firm stand to get all games moved when there is no rail transport. I'm beginning to see why people dont get season tickets and buy match by match as its bad enough with TV changes but the rail strikes just make it an even big pain.

The vast majority of people get the train, most of my mates do not have a car, so we should just screw them to prove a point? I support the club moving fixtures as for the vast majority of us it makes the journey impossible.

Fair enough. 25 years of commuting through this type of thing has left me extremely skeptical.

I think we are arguing the same point here Jack. I agree most use the train.

The following morning is an absolute nightmare, but having done travelling back from London before the majority of these strikes from some random non league game, I’ve had very few cancellations, maybe even less the night before.

sorry I’ve completely misread

I am sure the club will arrange everything around you as you perceive yourself as so important

How does @pure_white hoping the club seek to move the fixture mean it's all about him?! Pretty obvious it's because there's no bloody trains - I really hope they do too - it'll be chaos otherwise, especially for a 7.30 ko

Strikes also on 1st April, currently a home match against Brentford so it wouldn’t be a surprise if that is also moved.

If we can play Brentford at 8pm Boxing Day …then I can’t c why this will be moved

Also really bizarre it's been arranged for a Thursday in the first place - rarely any Thursday PL fixtures.

Yep very strange. Only sensible thing to do is re-rearrange to the Weds surely?

Because it was a complete farce and about 14k (if that) turned up for it because of the issues? Totally fucks us over too in what will be a huge game against our biggest rivals - should be packed to the rafters and everyone buzzing for it. Its hardly likely to be if it goes ahead under these circumstances

Hasn’t that been changed…hence last nights PL game and CL

I know but it wasn’t moved was it….so surprised if it is this time …shrug
