Still many home tickets going for 20£ plus admin.

I just don't think I could handle all those bubble blowers. Shame as Im local at mo.

Have a great day out all.

 

Will this be our biggest away fixture gate since Wembley playoff? ( sorry to bring it up)

We took a fair few up to the Etihad Stadium for the League Cup semi final didn’t we? 8,000 wasn’t it?

Does anyone know if you can get a friend to collect tickets on your behalf without any issues?

 

Also tickets just state ‘lower tier’ is there anyway to work out if the seats are together or not!?

If you bought the tickets together, I'd expect them to be together. If you bought them at different times, I'd expect them to be apart from each other.

Those that are planning on using the tube after the game would be advised not to hang around too long. All tube lines are being wound down on Sunday evening leading up to the following weeks strikes.

People are advised to make their journey by 5.30. The Elizabeth line to Paddington, by far the quickest way back to Paddington station, should still run as usual on Sunday.

Anyone staying over (me) Monday will be chaos as there will be no tube and disrupted Elizabeth line. So packed buses, walk or hire bike.

Our second game with VAR...

First was another FA Cup tie during the covid season vs Premier League Sheff Utd (think purple shirts, Alfie Mawson and Ryley Towler).

Mawson was sent off & Sheff Utd awarded a pen via VAR, which Billy Sharp (of course) duly tucked away.

 

Man City cup tie was pre VAR - a better time!

VAR was a thing when we played Msn City but wasn`t used as it couldn`t be in both legs.

If we’re counting Wembley as an away fixture then you’re forgetting the JPT final in 2015.

Biggest away following for a non-play off final since Coventry in 1977?

This may have changed now? No mention of the line being an exception on the TFL website...

https://tfl.gov.uk/campaign/strikes

It literally says this on that link

No other TfL services will be on strike but some bus, DLR, London Overground and Elizabeth line services will be busier and affected by station closures where stations also serve London Underground lines. One-way or queueing systems may also be in place.

Worth noting Stratford station is managed by London Underground

Ahh right.

I have to say I was under the impression that the Elizabeth Line was an underground line, hence the confusion. Still a pain in the ass as it goes nowhere near where I need to get to.

Playing in yellow on Sunday

Complete embarrassment. 9,500 fans travelling to support the team and they can't even play in anything resembling our own identity or crest.

I thought the SC&T already escalated about the absence of consultation in hoisting some clipart on the club, what kind of message is it to then wear it for our biggest game of the season!?!

They're desperate to flog it.

And yes, it was thanks to the SC&T escalation that we got the two sentence "explanation" as to why we have splat robin on the front.

However, all the above being said...it's kind of the best choice practically speaking. We can't wear the black kit against claret. Our red home kit might be ok but it's a bit dodgy. Unfortunately the yellow kit is the best clash against West Ham's kit.

Free printing eh? Maybe they could print the badge on the front for me?

I'm going to this game with my 13 year old in the safe standing area. He's about average height for his age. Does anyone have experience of being in a safe standing area with young people - is he likely to be able to see the game clearly?

Obviously this will depend to some extent on who's in front of him, but just wondered generally if it's an issue. I know some safe standing areas in other stadiums don't permit children. The rake looks fairly steep in the upper tier, so I'm hoping it will be OK.

Just bumping this. Anyone know? Little bit concerned.

Was actually thinking of bringing a little folding step for him, but I see West Ham don’t let you bring in rucksacks (no bags bigger than A4), so I don’t think I’d get it in.

I've been in the safe standing a couple of times at Cardiff with my 11 year old boy with no issues, and I'm sure the rake at the London Stadium is steeper.

We're in the rail seats on Sunday too.

edit- if a giant is in front of you then your son can stand on his seat, I presume they won't be locked upright.

Driving up for this one & does anyone have suggestions for parking near to M4 and getting a tube to Stratford ? Thanks in advance.

Ealing Broadway shopping center then  Elizabeth line direct to Stratford

We’re looking to do something similar. Is it relatively easy and reasonable in price to do this?

Anything on the way through worth visiting?

Thanks in advance👍🏻

Thank goodness there’s been no more rain, the line between Reading and Exeter has been closed today, between Exeter and Salisbury (Waterloo line) closed, many trains between Paddington and Bristol and return have been cancelled.

Just a waiting game now to see if things get back to normal tomorrow. As it sounds like security checks take a while at West Ham I don’t have a whole lot of spare time as it is…….and I’ve got a mates ticket!

Here’s a good link for parking at Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre.  It’s a maximum of £12 for 24 hours and is a very short walk to Ealing Broadway station.  I think the car park is locked from midnight to 6am, so don’t leave it too late to collect your car after the match, if you choose that option.  https://www.ealingbroadwayshopping.co.uk/parking-ealing

There have also been some suggestions of using JustPark and that costs around £7.

There’s also limited parking opposite the station, so plenty of parking options near the station.

Note there’s a Tube strike on Sunday, though the Elizabeth Line isn’t part of the Tube, so will still run as normal  I’d recommend only parking somewhere near an Elizabeth Line station, if you’re parking anywhere in West London and then using public transport across the City.

True there’s a tube strike but it’s not affecting the whole of the underground at least before the game, according to the TFL journey planner.

I’m travelling from Chiswick and you can get from Chiswick Park on the district line to Mile End then the central line to Stratford though you’re advised to complete journeys before 17.30 so fine before the game but have to get on your toes after.

Not sure if this was covered in a post earlier but anyways…

Yes thanks for expanding on that.  

I was mainly looking at people parking up near one of the  outer Tube stations and then tubing it in.  They’ll get to the match, maybe have a few beers after, then have hell’s work getting back to their car afterwords.  

I think Uxbridge for the Piccadilly Lane is a popular one, when travelling from Bristol, but I pity someone trying to get back there after the game, with a belly full of beer and no Piccadilly Line running.  That’s why I flagged that up, just in case anyone hadn’t realised.

Really knackered my plans, as I’m staying up there a couple of nights and planning to travel around a fair bit and always use the Tube.  Just my bleeding luck they’re striking until Thursday!😡

Thanks, that’s reassuring.

Interestingly it appears the rail seating at West Ham is just an adaptation of the existing seating, rather than a bespoke rail seat that can be locked in position.

Not sure I’d want my son standing on them though, that wouldn’t be very stable, particularly if you suddenly react to something on the pitch.

Yeah, no more rain forecast so should dry up and if there’s no damage to lines should be fine.

It’s the lack of information that annoys me, how bad are things? Is the water reducing at a quick enough rate? Is there any damage to the lines?

I don’t want to hear 30 minutes before it’s due that my train is cancelled. The other problem is every weekend here there’s a train to London cancelled due to lack of staff. The whole system is shambolic atm.

Yep. Our train system is just not resilient enough and I fear it’s only going to get worse given the way the weather (rain intensity) and the sea/gale levels (in the case of places like Dawlish) are going.

Given that you were considering bringing a step for your teenage child, I was hoping to reassure you that your view wouldn't be spoiled rather than making a serious suggestion.

I don't think that's a safe standing area. It looks like it's a safety rail. See here for info

You’re right. Not quite sure what the practical difference is though? Either way, I think that’s what we’ll be getting in the away end - article refers to the Sir Trevor Brooking stand, which is where we’ll be.
