Wow, these fixtures haven't fallen well...

[MACCA]

Can't see these fixtures all staying on the same day and the same time, could be a busy day for the British transport and met police...

[ClaretTony]

No confirmation that they’ll all be played on that day

[NottsClaret]

I doubt the Met will be too concerned anyway, they deal with way bigger problems than that.

Lancashire Police would bottle it if we had reserve games on the same day.

No worries surely the Train will be a pleasurable place to be travelling to London for these fixtures all those amiable rival fans mingling and chatting happily

I know they're subject to change, that's why I said cant see them staying the same.

Won't be an issue down there, it'll be on the way down, and way back after the lads have a belly full of beer that'll cause the most issues.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Be a fun journey for those with open tickets and no reserved seats getting the last train back

[claretonthecoast1882]

As for the Met police they will cope just fine,

This Sunday it is
Palace v Wolves
West Ham v Man Utd
Arsenal v Villa
Chelsea v Liverpool

[Buxtonclaret]

What say The Stable Boys, The Superior Ones and our fans share a footy special train & help reduce transport costs?

[dsr]

Cup semi-finals that day as well. (One of them, anyway.)

[box_of_frogs]

Nice of the fixture computer to throw Millwall into the mix too!

[box_of_frogs]

Having seen the fixture list thread, I’ll put a fiver on our game at West Ham moving.

We will be at Wembley then

[dougcollins]

You have seen us play in the cup, haven't you? :-0

Yes, but not very often - about twice a year.

The Met can cope a bit better with a few games at once. They have Liverpool and Man Utd, and Villa and Wolves all in London on Sunday for instance.

I would imagine the issues on that weekend will be relating to the journey(s) to and from London rather than actually in London. 3 sets of fans on the same train down, or stopping at services if driving will be harder to Police than a few hundred all at Euston or Kings Cross at the same time. I would guess that at least one of those fixtures will be moved nearer the time.

Yep, more of a problem for the British Transport Police

That's not going to be much different to Villa and Wolves both in London though (although admittedly not the same rivalry).

Absolutely not a major issue for the Met. As said elsewhere, its the travelling fans that will cause the issues on trains / motorway services.

Rovers will down by then and both us and Knobbers will be comfortably mid -table

Oh I dont know they are used to Blackburn fans and their ahem "friends " in the capital.

Championship TV fixtures not announced yet but with ours staying at 3pm there’s a possibility of at least two of us being at Euston on the same day. Brentford v Preston is more likely to be moved for TV than Millwall v Blackburn I imagine.

[Buxtonclaret]

It's already been said..amongst the good natured bonhomie and help with directions, there'll be nothing worst than the odd black market twix exchanging hands....

[MACCA]

Both could well be in the playoff hunt too, so stay safe clarets, there's potential to be decent followings from those in our shadow.
