That's because due to the petrol crisis transport is via rickshaw.Quote:

Missed this. Why would it take 4 hours? Is it just a lot of waiting around for ticket exchange etc?
Only did this trip one never againQuote:

Not worth it
Punishment for THAT song:hide:
If Newcastle v Sunderland , United v Leeds can be policed then either we are the maddest fans in the world or the police here are crap
Worst away trip going. Convinced the only people who go this have either never done it before or have some kind of perverse love for being treated like a criminal
There was plenty of trouble before the ManU Leeds game in August.Quote:

I agree with Nobody’s Rep
We were kept in an industrial estate - I think LLansamlet for over an hour and the rozzers wouldn’t let anyone off their coaches for a piss
Total nightmare and a complete breach of your human rights 🥺😩
I’m amazed that some folk will still pay hard cash for such an event, getting treated worse than a prisoner of war aswell as Having to look at swansea peopleQuote:

Interestingly my boys who are late teens early 20s and like an away trip have absolutely no interest in going either which says it all for me
We were there behind the goal when stantona scoredQuote:

But ff sake having EVERYONE meet so early at the stadium , including people from port Talbot for example , at such an early time is stupid .
If it is to be a coach only trip there should be several pick up points and people in Bridgend should have 2 coaches , 1 for pontypridd etc , in addition to the main fleet from Cardiff
It's pathetic
Fans from Port talbot Rhondda Aberdare etc don't have to get on at the stadium now if they book up with their local supporters groups.
Well that's a startQuote:

It could easily be cut by an hour at the least
It does say it all. I did about 9 visits to the vetch, free train, usually nipped in for free too…couldn’t be dealing with today’s shananigans it’s easier getting into the USAQuote:
