For those saying 'what's the problem?'. Here's my take on it.
1. If the law is the law then fair enough. However, the MP for Charnwood communicated with the Sports minister and he is seemingly saying that there is no government insistance that any fans have to travel by organised coach. Now, we are talking about Tories here so he may be wrong but it sounds like the club blatantly lied. If they lied, then this is misrepresentation at point of sale. Coach travel plus ticket actually falls under the Package travel regulations 2015/18 - you are entitled to seek redress. I would say that we are entitled to demand they cancel the coach ticket with a full refund
2. For people such as me that live 5 mins walk from Harborough train station I am having to get a taxi north to bus south and do the reverse on the way back. That is adding £80 on to my coach ticket. This is a much longer journey, covering more miles and time and in a less covid secure environment. If I was training it I can be in london from my doorstep in 55 mins and at wembley 30 mins later. With the coach from my house it will take more like 5-6 hours all told allowing for logistics. Getting back to saffron lane at 11pm with 3500 others and trying to get a taxi home? God knows how that will pan out.
3. As the club was able to identify postcodes why didn't they use that information to organise coaches from Harborugh, Oakham, Melton, Loughborough, Coalville, Lutterworth, Hinckley, Oadby, Birstall, City centre etc etc.
4. Why are coaches unallocated? This is madness and will lead to trouble at the grounds as people attempt to sit together in groups. 3500 and Ive been told by teh club that no coaches will take more than 25 pax. That then is a minimum of 140 coaches. This will be carnage.
5. We have been told just turn up at 10.30 onwards. So, 3500 descend on the KP at 10.30. Given safe distancing of 2m apart that is a 7km queue.
6. Communication has been and remains totally shambolic. i have not had my tickets or any firm communication about logistics. This gives me no confidence in how the issue has been handled and I wouldn't be surprised is some people dont arrive at Wembley until a very short while before KO having arrived at the KP at 10.30am.
