Re: Pay per win season ticket in Holland.

Logistics of collecting the money would be a nightmare Pay on way out. Got no cash left or bank account is empty and card declined You could pay into the equivalent of an escrow account i.e. an account where you pump in, say, £400 at the start of the season and a third party administers the debits.

Re: Driving to Wembley - options

Another M40 option is Amersham. You're guaranteed to get a seat on the Metropolitan Line direct to Wembley as it's the terminus. Did this for 1994 play-off final and we were back in Burnley by 9.45pm.

Whatever gets built, I'd like the club to install new wooden seats. They're more spacious, last longer than plastic ones, better for the environment and, more importantly, are less likely to aggravate the chalfonts in cold weather.
