Got as far as Basingstoke ( from Salisbury ) All trains suspended, advised that SWTrains would reimburse taxi fares,
huge queues for taxis, Uber prices through the roof plus long wait times due to increased demand. Worked out that I was highly likely to miss kick off, plus no idea how to get home after. Asked Mrs C1 to come and collect me from Basingstoke and have just got home. Absolutely gutted. This is the first game I’ve missed all Season. While I was waiting I contacted The Albion in a vain attempt to get them to allocate the Loyalty Points as this has been entirely out of my control and indeed I was en route to the game. Told it’s an absolute no, as this keeps the system fair to all supporters. There‘s so much to love about the current era supporting the Albion, their inflexible attitude isn’t one of them. I will write in to them tomorrow and plead my case but I’m not expecting to get anywhere. I’m a big fan of rules and regulations but the rigid, computer says no times we live in, really do get on my plums! 😡

In exactly the same boat, as I'm predicting possibly hundreds of others will be too. However, I'm taking it on the chin, as i suggest you do. If you've been to every game this season you must be right up there, so 10 points hardly going to matter- unless its all about top capper bragging rights?

It’s not about bragging rights, guess I was venting cos I’m highly pissed off Im sat on my sofa instead of cheering the boys on at West Ham 😞. However, stuff happens and it’s not like it’s anybody’s fault 👍

Got on the 14.24 from Warrior Square. Train hit a tree between Battle and Robertsbridge and we’ve not moved since. That was 2 hours 30 minutes ago. Not going to make the match. Will hopefully get home in time to watch on tv.
Just got home in time to watch on tv. Can’t be helped. Hopefully everyone up there will get home with no hassles.

Have to say that is of no surprise at all re the clubs inflexibility. Absolutely brutally stupidly rigid. No intelligence applied whatsoever.

Really empty/quiet all round

I wouldn’t bother protesting. You won’t get the loyalty points. Similar happened to me. I wasn’t happy at the time but can understand the club’s policy on this one.

This policy is applied without any discretion as I found out earlier in the season. Brutally consistent.

Such a shame. So progressive in some ways, incredibly backwards in other ways. Stupid.

Sorry to hear this. When the computer says no, remember that the computer is always right. Except if you work for the Post Office.

Journey home was a breeze. Made it Indiana Jones style onto the Stratford International train and caught the 2nd to last train out of Marlyebone. On time to Leamington. First time for everything.

This isn’t the club’s fault in any way.

Blame the clever Trevor’s who bought a ticket for Bournemouth in the League Cup with no intention of using it.

It prevents harvesting and it’s correct, if a bit harsh in some circumstances
