[Albion] Palace Game - Postponed [was on/off?]

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Palace Game - On/Off?

No-brainer, just needs a decision from 'major stakeholders' earlydoors to allow 'customers' to make forward plans accordingly.

Anytime you're ready chaps?

Players depart for international on duty on Monday so that's not an option

ok thanks i forgot about that. I that case expect 2pm Sunday though my preference would be either play Friday 8pm or postpone it

If you say you can't play the game on Saturday because of the trains then you can't play it on the Sunday either, because the day after strikes is also always disrupted.

Looks like a cancel and play later in the season to me?

Sunday should be more or less fine. Trains tend to start around 7-8am after a strike. Worked Ok for the West Ham game within reason.

The match gets a passing mention here:

Not for me.

I land at Stansted at 18.30, Holiday booked once TV fixtures (and therefore non-movement of this game) were known.

Indeed, the sooner they postpone it and advise of a rearranged date the better for all concended. Plenty of free dates available for later in the season at the moment.

Sunday PM would seem much more viable than Friday evening from a logistics perspective.

Guardian reporting that it's Chiltern Railways, Northern and TransPennine Express, Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry, Greater Anglia, Great Western Railway, Hull Trains, LNER, London Overground and Southeastern, and West Midlands Trains that will be cancelled.

It'll be crap but surely Govia/Southern shouldn't be too effected by the industrial action. Or have I missed an important bit of news somewhere?

RMT are striking that will include Signallers, so no service between Brighton and Falmer

More bullshit, becoming a habit

I think it has to go to later in the season. The Sunday is not going to be easier for the police, given that presumably it requires a greater police presence than normal games, it surely needs more time to plan?

We could all just cycle!

Imagine if that actually happened.

I don't think you can move it?

All kinds of events have taken place, shows, concerts, festivals, during this industrial action, as much as its our 'biggest game' what makes the Albion any different?

Could they make the final stop of the 700 Coastliner the Amex for that day and just put loads of extra busses on to help?

Stagecoach are already canceling a number of their 700 buses as they haven't got enough drivers ... so unlikely they'd be able to put extra buses on.

When I got back to Old Steine after the Leeds game I just managed to jump on a 700. The next two 700s were cancelled. I'm seeing it pretty much everyday.

Seagulls Travel keep going on about lack of coaches and drivers for their own service.

It's a blooming nightmare!

Imagine if that actually happened.

Katie Melua's 9,000 bicycles in Beijing could be swamped by 30,000 bicycles in Brighton.
