The play offs.

Apologies if already posted but look as if engineering works on West Coast Main Line will cause a lot of travelling issues on the 26th May. Hourly trains from Birmingham New street to London Euston via Stafford!

From National Rail enquiries future engineering page:

Engineering work is taking place at Birmingham New Street all day on Saturday, and until 10:00 on Sunday. Engineering work is also taking place between Birmingham New Street and Coventry all day on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Customers should also be aware that Chiltern Railways will not be operating between Birmingham Moor Street and Birmingham Snow Hill on Saturday and Sunday.

Virgin Trains:
On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, an hourly service will run between Birmingham New Street and London Euston via Stafford, calling at Sandwell & Dudley, Wolverhampton, Stafford and Milton Keynes Central.
An hourly service will also run between Coventry and London Euston, calling at Rugby, Milton Keynes Central and Watford Junction.

Chiltern Trains looking to be busy then!

Yes, Proof House Junction is being worked on, so a rule of thumb is if your usual train journey passes by the sty then it will be diverted or rail replacement buses.

Ticket site seems to have crashed. Got a general exception error ....after queuing for an hour.

I'm six of those (which will make 10 attempts overall)

I made it to the front of the queue only to be greeted with "Oops! a general exception has occured, please refer to the system administrator for further details..." when redirected to the tickets.avfc.co.uk website. FFS

I said earlier in this thread that i wasnt bothered if we went up or not because I have enjoyed a good season in the Championship. Well, I was dead WRONG, i was a bag of nerves watching yesterday and so happy that we are one step closer to being back where we belong. Cant wait for the final, i truly believe we will beat them comfortably and hope everyone has a great day out.

After removing the error message from the URL and just leaving the base https://tickets.avfc.co.uk/ and doing a few refreshes it worked.

I had same and subsequently discovered I had 2 people added to my group - my son and my dad. Because my dad does not have a current season ticket it rejected me and said no tickets available, I deleted my dad's fan id (He died 5 years ago and had been unlinked but somehow came back again?) and it then allowed me to purchase. Even though I logged out completely and signed back in it still held me in the queue without having to start all over again. whole process took about 40 mins from joining queue to purchase - well impressed.

Got my tickets eventually.
Shocked at how many blocks have already sold out, within the first few hours.
I can only think they  have only released so many seats online?

Obviously holding blocks back.

I need to vent. What arsehole decided that a 5pm ko would be a great idea? Absolutely no consideration for those travelling from different parts of the country. No late train or coach to Devon after the match. Vent over.

I am surprised that Sky did not compete directly with CL final with 7.45 kick off but may be EFL are not allowed to do that.  Sky Sport would have revelled in The wealthiest match in world football v biggest match hype.

Not sure why it's been changed, it's always been 3pm when played on Saturdays.

There's no way Sky or any other TV channel would put one of their big matches up against another.
