Again, despite your endeavours to pretend you are fighting the greater fight, you retreat back to your own personal circumstances which will mirror those of a tiny handful of Albion fans. You only have self-interest at heart, and not that of the club and the other 27000 Albion fans we want to be...
Not at all, no. I still think you're the same narrow-minded little man that I did before this debate commenced.
You can find me tomorrow if you want to continue this.
So, in summary, Scrooge McScrooge doesn't want to pay for travel as he's got a tasty near-freebie stuffed in his back pocket, and he's not afraid to use it.
Nearly everyone else seems to accept that, regardless of personal circumstances, a mandatory travel voucher supplement is the common...
In fact, given Amex season ticket renewals (or non-cancels given the DD payments used by most) will occur months before the season kicks-off, it is likely that literally NO-ONE will have a rail ticket that covers the duration of the football season at that time.
I'm very chilled, but thanks for the concern.
And thanks for avoiding the awkward questions which, again, embarrass your fag-packet 'suits me sir' approach. It says it all.
And you've just proved my point with your question. As I said - most people will not be able to prove they have travel...
Really? Do you really that such an approach will we an easy and painless approach for all?
How would it work for people who have a rail season ticket that is due to expire sometime during the football season? (Most will - as the football season runs for 3/4 of the year)
How would it work for...
Right - so all your 'paying twice' stuff is complete and utter bollocks. You've not paid once and you don't want to pay at all.
You, sir, are a disgrace.
They can't be checked at departing stations - there are so many of them, with a lot being unmanned and/or very distant. I've started my rail travel in Yatton in sleepy Somersetshire for example.
Let's not forget precious types such as Beach Hut who has a rail season ticket to speed him to London each and every day, so why should he have to pay again?*
(* - let's gloss over the fact that when going to Falmer he's not actually en route to London and he's probably rarely, if ever, chosen...
I really don't think a physical check of each and every fan turning up by train at Falmer is practical at all. If literally every fan has their voucher to hand then it kinda works but as soon as you have 10, 15 or 20 "I've lost it", or "I've forgotten it" or "what voucher?"s getting off a train...
