    It certainly wasn’t easy to buy tickets. Being able to only buy a single ticket was painful.

    If you wanted to book during the valley gold window, everyone in the group had to have valley gold. If I wanted to take my son I couldn’t. If I wanted to go with a non-VG friend, still couldn’t book.

    nearly put us off several times.

    I'd purchased two tickets in my name within two minutes online on Wednesday morning.

    No issues whatsoever. 
  • Bit of work in the morning, coffee with a work contact in London late morning, lunch in Mayfair with a client,  few beers in a pub after with a colleague then onto The Valley for an evening game.. Life almost feels normal again.  Can't wait!

    TBF it was difficult to arrange in a few days considering you only had 600 tickets on sale and if it had been general sale straight away, Valley Gold fans could have lost out;
    Though under 18's  games wouldn't normally attract many thought the door. But these are unusual times and it was a tough estimate 

    As it was, with shocking weather forecast with high winds and rain in retrospect the tickets could've been sold differently.

    Ironically one of the wettest I have ever been was at the away end at Holmsdale road when it was split. Not a League match from memory as I can't remember the crowd being big.

    A word of warning for anyone travelling by car to the game from Kent - the traffic at Dartford M25 / A2 is dreadful - the Dartford crossing bridge is closed

    FFS.

    Just about to leave. I suppose all the Dartford traffic is being sent to the Blackwall Tunnel?

    That would explain the traffic through Greenwich being totally fecked.

    I’m in the River Ale House with a nearly empty glass of Tonbridge Countryman and a glass of Beerblefish 1820 waiting.

    What’s Carragher got to do with Wigan, does his son play for them?  Just looked his sons the captain for Wigan.

    Cheers I wondered the same, be worth keeping an eye on him if the game can go ahead

    Not the best preparation for their youngsters though if they've not arrived yet

    Is there a suggestion that they haven’t?

    Well going by what Carragher says about the fact that families and staff havent arrived

    Cant see the staff and players travelling separately...

    I’m sure the if the players hadn’t arrived that would have been the first thing Carra said...

    Carragher’s son is highly rated and linked to Everton who was his old mans team before the years at Liverpool

    I only saw the last half hour of the semi final but I was really impressed by #14 Mitchell - thought he was everywhere and complimented the flair players around him wel. Hopefully he can make an appearance in the second half.
