TIL 1010 4,660 Posted August 8, 2013 BBC Breakfast TV in the morning are doing a feature on http://www.bettertransport.org.uk/football and contacted me this afternoon to speak on behalf of Norwich fans. It will be on between 6-9 am !! Basically what they want is for Rail companies to have a special railcard for football fans offering discounts on rail travel and for clubs to have arrangements with local bus companies whereby production of your match ticket gives you free bus travel. BBC Radio 5 Live are also on the case and might ring me at 7.30am to speak on the radio.Before anyone asks I have absolutely no idea where they got my mobile number from but I am sure this little media moment will cause merriment amongst some on here.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted August 8, 2013 I''d be happy with that offer Tilly - ''Er yeah, can I get a free Swanage Dorset return to Norwich please Bus driver? Oh, I take it you didn''t see Andrew Tilson this morning snuggled up with Lorraine Kelly and a sausage and egg McMuffin then?'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to be pedantic but let''s stick to fact please. I was wondering if you have any input into the subject matter of transportation to games both home and away that you might wish to discuss in case 5 Live ring in the morning as I know you rely on public transport to get to games being a non driver yourself.
