southamptonbairn Posted 24 January, 2014 Share Posted 24 January, 2014 I posted this on the away fans thread but I have been advised there will be a better response posting it on the Main Board Ive noticed today that someone has started an e-petition to the Government for TV Companies to publish their Live fixtures 12 weeks in advance so that fans can travel to away games cheaper using advance fares. The live TV fixtures for March have still not been announced and we are only 5 weeks away to the beginning of March. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/59629 If this effects you, please take the time to complete the petition and if you are registered with any other fans forum please pass it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%Red&White Posted 24 January, 2014 Share Posted 24 January, 2014 Nice one. Whether you travel away regularly or not, every fan should get on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 24 January, 2014 Share Posted 24 January, 2014 Signed. With the increase in cost of following your team (ticket prices and travel) the least you should expect is the date for a game to be set without change (unless subject to things like cup runs etc.) The lack of respect for the fans that attend games is becoming a concern.

Viking Warrior Posted 24 January, 2014 Share Posted 24 January, 2014 Spot on wee bairn . It's one of the reasons I dispensed with my season ticket . You would never know when the fixture was going to be rescheduled for TV and then the cost of flights from Orkney went through the roof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 24 January, 2014 Share Posted 24 January, 2014 I've pinged this on Twitter for Global Saints. It is bollix that I need to buy a flight ticket in next 7 days to get a 30% discounted flight home to watch the Scouse game at SMS. And yet I STILL don't know IF it will be played on that day. Unfair on UK travelling Saints fans but also unfair on the increasing number of us who are getting organised but who live abroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted 24 January, 2014 Share Posted 24 January, 2014 Done. I know its slightly off subject but once 12 of us booked travel, 2 nights hotel for the Plymouth game when it was called off for international duties and none of their youngsters played anyway.

svetigpung Posted 24 January, 2014 Share Posted 24 January, 2014 Will sign. Hate that the tv companies have total controll. 12 week deadline sesams reasonable. At least you get a chance to book cheaper flights then. Still wondering about the Liverpool game on the 1st march. Will it, wont it? B-stads!

SuperMikey Posted 24 January, 2014 Share Posted 24 January, 2014 Signed - for people like me who book time off at the weekends months in advance to go to away games it's a real pain when games get moved. Should post this on other team's forums too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adysaint Posted 25 January, 2014 Share Posted 25 January, 2014 Done. Been checking everyday to see if our game vs Newcastle is staying on Saturday 29th March 3pm. Could have had a flight down for £47 and train home for £35. Its now £70 and £45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
