SAINTS TRAVELLING SUPPORTERS

[southamptonbairn]

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.

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

Nice one.

 

Whether you travel away regularly or not, every fan should get on this.

[Lallana's Left Peg]

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.

[Shroppie]

Done.

[Viking Warrior]

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

[dubai_phil]

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

[ladysaint]

Done.

[Spudders]

done

[Ohio Saint]

Done on behalf of you load of wasters over there. Only 47 signatures? I hope this has only just started!

[jjsaint]

Done. We've been shafted a couple of times this year...

[Pedro]

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.

[dellboypete]

Good spot and very relevant for many fans from every club. Hopefully this will be seen by all other clubs as well

[St_Tel49]

Done - good luck with it

[Red Alert]

Signed.

[Gorgiesaint]

Signed

[svetigpung]

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]

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!

[waggy]

[ringwood]

[Griffo]

have I missed something? The petition closes in a years time!!!??!!

[alehouseboys]

Done this earlier, spread the word.

[Hoppysaint]

I've done it, it's only at 153 so far so obviously needs more visibility to be effective.

[red&white56]

It was only posted yesterday, for those wondering why the sign-up is low - now at 159!

[NewMilLady]

done

[adysaint]

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

[LocksHeathRed]

Signed!
