West Ham Away

[Compo's Hat]

a pain to get to, a nightmare to get out. No thanks.

It's a piece of piss on the train mate. Reading -> Paddington -> Hammersmith line to West Ham. £21.70.

It's getting the tube back that's always the nightmare. No matter which station you walk to there is always a massive queue to get in.

I walk to Plaistow which isn't too bad.

I ahve done the same in the past.

It works out about the same time as waiting in the queue at Upton Park, but you are moving!!

Surely you can book on a friends member card?

I could, but if the usual Thames Valley officers assist the Met, then I'd be spotted pretty quick.

Ginger wig day for all might help your plight.

Any danger of us selling out before 20th March...?

20th March

I was getting used to not having to worry about my tiny Royalty points total

[Warfield North Stand]

I have got 1600 plus but my boy who I have promised I will take ( and he is a ST holder) only has 555. Buggar.

[1871 Royal]

Right so I need to find about £50 in the next 6 days for a good away day.

At least you've got a crack at the 500 points date, I've got over 2000 but my wife and nephew have less than 500 so I'm praying there are some left on the 20th.

Will be getting mine before work wednesday morning!

Best tube station anyone...?

[RG30]

The nearest tube station is Upton Park which is on the District, plus the Hammersmith & City Lines. The station is a short walk from the ground. Please note that West Ham tube station is nowhere near the ground. Steve Cook adds; 'the queue at Upton Park tube station after the game can be horrendous. You are better off going for a couple of pints and letting the queues die down. There are plenty of pubs along Plaistow High Road which are only a 5-10 minute walk from the stadium and as long as visitors are 'well behaved' they are more than made welcome'. Adam Long a visiting Reading fan informs me; 'After the game you are probably best to walk up to East Ham, which will at least mean you will get a seat, before everyone else gets on at Upton Park'. Craig Belcher a visiting West Brom fan adds; 'Rather than face the long queues at Upton Park, we walked down to the next station on the line, Plaistow, which is only a ten minute walk away from Upton Park. We managed to get on a tube okay, as apparently according to station staff the tubes are not filled to full capacity on leaving Upton Park''. Just turn left after Upton Park station, into Harold Road. Walk down to the end of this road (it becomes Terrace Road) and then bear left into Pelly Road/Clegg St. At the bottom of Clegg Street is a T-junction with Plaistow High Street. Turn right into the High Street and Plaistow station is further down on the left.

Whilst Andrew Saffrey suggests; 'Forest Gate station is about 25 minutes walk from Upton Park, and it's much less busy than Upton Park Station after the final whistle. It is served by local Great Eastern trains from Liverpool Street. Turn right out of the station, then left at the corner next to the pizza shop into Hampton Road. Walking down Hampton Road, turn first right into Richmond Road, a small street with traffic calming and lots of roundabouts. Go straight down this road and this eventually becomes Green Street. Then for the long walk down Green Street which has lots of shops and takeaways, before arriving at Upton Park'.

Tickets are priced £32 adults, .

The can oxf*rd right off with those prices (and no student discounts), although I guess it is to watch a Premier league team

What did we charge them, £23

are you on a banning order or just banned by rfc? if its the former the police will have you if its the latter they wont

[Wizard]

Hoping there'll still be some tickets left by the 19th with my pitiful points total

[Z175]

We always panic but we always get tickets. Think we might sell out, but it will be on general sale. The Cardiff Away playoff made it that far.

It would be fascinating to see the royalty points statistics, perhaps you could tick a box to say your happy for it to be disclosed, then we would see the top 10 fans!

I was wondering how many you get for ST renewal. I think its about 250...have the club released this in order to drum up pre 30 March sales?

To be fair to them I think very few have 2200+/2000+ - i.e. much less than 3,000. They tend to stagger it like this so the more loyal you are, the less queuing you have to do. Thats fair, as long as all fans get tickets.

They'll have handed over 100k to WHU for these, so fair play for taking the allocation.

IN for the promotion-sealer!

[Silver Fox]

If it seels out before general sale at that price I will find Chris Tarrant in the concourse and buy him a pie

[Basingstoke-Royal]

I have 700 ... Reckon i'll be able to get tickets ??

[Compo's Hat]

You'll probably be able to watch it online anyway. Can't see how this won't be the Football League Show's main game of the day particularly with the BBC showing Blackpool v Southampton in the evening.
