Oh no! Not another 8pm KO!
I was looking forward to going and hoping for a large away crowd. This is going to put a lot of people off going.

Why is the Spurs game all ST on day 1, what happened to the loyalty points.
So mass scramble no doubt stuck in the Queue-it system on numerous devices in an attempt to get a ticket.

Barber OUT!!!!!!

Disgraceful, last train back is 23:21 so if extra time and penalties you miss it - **** the fans is all I can say about this

This is the big issue with this.

Had trains been running normally it would have been do-able. Even if they made it 7pm kick off it would have been doable. If they still had replays like they should have it would have been do-able.

Another example of completely stitching up the fans. What are we supposed to do to get there and back?

I hope we protested in the strongest terms

Yep. Just checked TFL for White Hart Lane to Worthing, from about 10:30, and it's showing as 4 hours 44 minutes!

Monday night, Friday night and any time Sunday all worse

Friday night at 8pm would be infinitely better than Saturday at 8pm for anyone planning on going up by train that weekend.

As the timetable currently stands, there is a good chance you would not make the last train home on Saturday if the match goes to extra time and penalties.

Well, if it's a 8pm kick off and it goes to extra time and pens, you can't get to a station by 10:30. The match won't be finished by then

You probably won't be on a train till 11:30, maybe 12

Yep.

Utterly ridiculous. There are also engineering works between Gatwick and Purley so even if you get the last train you'll be piling for one bus half way through.

Going to watch on telly now.

Really disappointing kick off time. Unless the club run heavily subsidised coaches (which they won’t), then I doubt we’ll sell more than a third of the allocation.

I can envision us 1-0 down going into the last few minutes with the majority of the Albion fans hoping we don't equalise in our usual style.
