It'd be a new ground for me but based on that BS I'd rather go to Derby a few days earlier.
For the 1-1 game in 2008 we were locked in afterwards.
After they took us back to the station and literally forced us on the first train out, even though many weren't booked on that train or any train at all.
Agreed, a ridiculous game for NYD, we're travelling to Swansea while on the same day Cardiff are travelling to QPR...
They wouldn’t let you off the train at Cardiff either to get some beers.

Refunds
There may be rare occasions where the cheaper Advance fare becomes available closer to the time of travel, for example if a group booking is cancelled and extra seats become available. Please note that in these circumstances Advance tickets that have already been bought cannot be refunded in part or in full.
If the train you purchased a ticket for is cancelled or is delayed and you still decide to travel, special arrangements will be made to accommodate you on another train (although a seat cannot be guaranteed).

You might have to take 4 days holiday and cost hundreds of pounds but your have more availability on the trains
We would have driven to & from Derby, then planned to drive to Swansea on NYE, stay overnight in the HIE ( booked already) then drive home after the match.
Accommodation is no transfer/refund available at £50 per room.
Still mulling over what's best for us all to do.
