I have heard some right horror stories regarding fans experiences around yesterday RE travel...1. Used park and ride to ground
on leaving ground going back to park and ride ..bus driver not letting football fans on.


2. Fans left plenty of time to get to ground by bus, bus they get on is waiting for change of driver...not mentioned when 1st got on bus... by time replacement driver gets there ..traffic now horror story... resulting in fans not getting into ground until 40 minutes have been played.

On trying to get back to city centre..waiting ages for bus.. then found out football special back into York cancelled.. resulting in a forced march back to city centre. Any one else had a mare?

Apparently one young lad was put back on the train home for singing in the station. Good job it wasn't the last match of the season.

thats the reason i never bothered to go as i was expecting something like that to happen. ok have an out of a town ground if you want but surely the majority of people that want to go want to use their cars to get there and that should be catered for. we laugh or criticise the yanks but they,d have none of the crap we have to suffer.

Should've worn a Just Stop Oil tabard, eing a football supporter is a hate crime don't you k ow?
Causing "offence" is punished more harshly than robbery and assault nowadays. Football supporters like motorists are the easiest of all targets. Wonder what law was used to put theclad back on the train? Just a thought but why don't border force do the same with the boat people, pump up their boars give them food n water and send them back where they came from?

its always been the same if you are a motorist and a football fan from the late 60,s onwards. if you never went to a match or drive most people would never come into contact with the law. always remember the words of my old man when i passed my test and drove my car and went to matches on my own at times. prepare to join the criminal classes now. never have there been truer words as my recent points tally have proved for daring to drive 5 mph over a speed limit on a saturday evening where i seemed the only vehicle on the road at the time. i for one have zero respect for todays law and order for other reasons as well you have said.
