Jacko 0 Posted June 22, 2012 Weird that conversations with the SFA didn''t happen before the initial date was set. Very inconsiderate. It isnt exactly a stroll down the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJ 0 Posted June 22, 2012 You''re lucky then! 3 of us were going up for a few days now this has messed it up a bit.Emailed both NCFC and Celtic however I only expect the normal "oh we''re so sorry response" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e10_yellow 0 Posted June 22, 2012 I too have been screwed over by this. Non-refundable train tickets. Unbelievable incompetence from, I suspect, all parties.Perhaps it might be appropriate if Norwich City were to refund the fans who are now significantly out of pocket through no fault of their own using the £20,000 prize the club were awarded last month for the good behaviour of those very fans over the season. Just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gerry Harrison 2 Posted June 23, 2012 Really fuming about this, total cock up from all parties. I had trains and a hotel booked for me and a mate. Managed to change the train tickets up to Glasgow from Wedneday to Tuesday for a cost of £36, and booked another night in the hotel for £47. As Wednesday in the hotel was non-refundable we''re now going to stay 2 nights in Glasgow. At the very least all of us who are out of pocket should get free entry to the game. Might go along to the womans Olympic football at Hampden and sing On The Ball City for 90 mins as a protest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wilw6 0 Posted June 23, 2012 Not City''s fault. They can''t be expected to know what''s going on in Glasgow when they''re agreeing to pre-season friendlies.Fact is, few people up here are bothered with the Olympic football anyway - wouldn''t be surprised if they ended up giving tickets away. Moving this match won''t make much difference to the attendance at Hampden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Drinkell 50 Posted June 23, 2012 You''d better get use to this we''re in the Premiership now and all the fixtures that were released this week, I ''m willing to bet probably 40% will be changed from the dates announced.For god sake You''re only Fans. Seriously feel sorry for those of you who are trying to support the team away from home. I have been invited to attend the Spurs away game but can''t commit until Sky announce there schedule.Why don''t sky just say what games they want when and work the other fixture around this?

Harry 0 Posted June 25, 2012 Completely ballsed up my plans, now won''t be able to go to the game, but luckily I was going to drive up and stay with the inlaws (Celtic season ticket Holders) so I''m not out of pocket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
