Was stood in front of a few blokes at Fulham away in the cup earlier this season who were discussing this, they all have enough LPs to get a ticket for every game so all apply for every game and share them amongst their friends and family.
I amended it for you
Have spent £1500 on flights and hotel for me and my son to go to London for the Luton game (his first), so I fully expect it to be moved to a late Friday night kickoff. Could be interesting with a 7 year old accustomed to be asleep at 8pm.
Yeah same. I took my 7 and 9 year olds to an England game recently and they were still awake and going mental at midnight lolHave spent £1500 on flights and hotel for me and my son to go to London for the Luton game (his first), so I fully expect it to be moved to a late Friday night kickoff.

Looking forward to it, lol. Should be all set for a Hamley's visit the next day too then.
Many away tickets are now downloaded to STs registered phone (just like home tickets are)...harder to pass on and risky if you only have a screen shot.
If they had their way it'd probably be like it used to be in Spain (still is?). Have to book the whole weekend in Barca because they don't announce when El Classico is going to be until the day before.
I've not got direct trains to London for 4 out of the next 6 games, so my 35 min journey now becomes 100 mins as it's train, bus, tubeThat said, the fvcking railways are making getting to the game (or home) a lottery these days
Know what you mean. Current 4 including last night are (1) 30 mile drive, train, tube o/ground then reverse, (2) train, tube, o/ground then reverse with added bus 30 miles past Leeds to York and train back (3) train Leeds to Manchester then Euston, tube o/ground and reverse (4) train Leeds to Sheffield then St Pancras tube, o/ground and reverse.
I can only applaud fans like you (and @DeanoAustin, @nelto, @Jordinho and many others that I can’t recall right now) who put in so much time, effort and money to travel from afar to watch us play. It shames me when I moan about having to go a few miles out my normal route to an alternative station or a bus replacement when the inconvenience is minimal really, when compared to others. Unfortunately you are invisible to the broadcasters.
I am guessing if they are planning to do it, it would be the weekend we were due to play Chelsea. We play Wolves at home Feb 17 and then do not play again until Palace on Mar 2
It's post-season. May 22 is the proposed date, which wouldn't work if we had made it to the Final.
