[Football] Arsenal League Cup tickets

[Beach Hut]

Anyone received tickets yet ?

Nope but just booked Seagulls Travel

 

[Change at Barnham]

Is there any precedent in English football for changing the date of a fixture because of the train strikes?

There should be if this shitty striking by railways carries on after World Cup will give away games a miss till sorted out

 

[Change at Barnham]

If this game was somewhere like Southampton or Bournemouth where parking is a possibility I think a lot of people might try and drive there. But parking near Arsenal will be near impossible.
When you add in that it's a night game and tickets are only £20 I think there will be a vast amount of people who will swerve it.

I reckon our best hope is that the RMT change the date yet again.

Oh ffs just seen this - absolute wankers. That’s prob money down the drain then.

 

[The Seagull]

Let’s remember what the RMT are fighting for before slagging them off. A fair wage for ALL staff. This is a critical time in British history. A football match pales when compared to putting food on the table. Drive or get the coach, there are options for the loyal fans. I’ll be taking this option.

Edit. Sorry, just seen that they've cancelled the strike on the 3rd and changed that to the 9th so you are correct.

Deadly, Do you happen to know please If the RMT strike also affects Thameslink trains ?

Well said!!

£80 for the coach compared to £22 for the train means that this is probably a write off for us.

No tube strikes so possible to drive to Morden, Richmond, Wimbledon etc and get tube across London.

i get why rmt are striking and will back them, but just frustrating happens on day we have a fixture, it’s always going to upset someone, now just gotta work out what to do for me and my 9yr old

Seagulls Travel have confirmed they have sourced two extra coaches from Hampshire for the Arsenal game, seats will be on sale at 09:30 if anyone needs one

Where do you get £80 from, guess that's not ST as their price is £35 and drop off is right outside the ground.

I wouldn't want anyone to base their travel decisions on this as I don't know for sure but I believe the strike on the 9th is more on the Network Rail side of things which will affect Thameslink as much as Southern. My guess would be travelling home by train won't be possible but again I stress I don't know so best check with someone more in the know before making decisions as its hard to keep up. It may be that they have found a way to keep more things moving this time around - I really hope so.

That's the price for me and 2 kids

And actually, now ST have upped the price it's £95

 

[Uh_huh_him]

For once I'm not affected as I live in London, but this is getting a bit annoying now none-the-less.
Couldn't make Liverpool or Spurs because of strike days and most likely will miss Wolves too.

Am I right in thinking that as yet, there have been no meetings between the parties to discuss the issues in dispute?

 

[The Rattler]

You'll need a cover letter from a priest if you haven't got MyAlbion membership or STH friends. Personally I tell Jnr that it's not going to happen, then check everyday to see if it opens to purchase history. He had a last min surprise to go the the Forrest game last week.

I know this thread has been overtaken (rightly) by train strikes… but quick update re tickets - club told me today the game will NOT go to Purchase History. Which is nice.

Perhaps I should f*** off to Chelsea like everyone else?

Let me in on a secret. How did you get one adult and two kids return train tickets to Arsenal for £22? Is it a family rail card.
