    Just been told we dont have to get off now. We may get there for the second half if lucky. All depends what time we get to leicester.

    There is one on the website for east midland trains that says it will arrive at 15.27 in Sheffield! Don`t know how genuine that is though. All of the others are stated as delayed or cancelled from StPancras.

    BBC London just reported that the trains started running again up to Leicester, so if you get there, you will at least get back on a train. Good luck guys.

    Or rather, they can't be bothered. Even 15 minutes (as happened at the Valley last game) would help.

    dont think 15 mins would help the boys i reckon an hr might do it but no chance of that

    15minutes would atleast help them catch the start of the second half.. but hey its at Sheffield, don't think they'd care too much :-(

    But at least they'd see 15 minutes more....

    If the 1st train arrives at 15.27 as stated they could get to the ground at around half time if they took a taxi. Saying that, there is no guarantee they will be allowed into the ground. Happened to us at Wolves once, got there 20 minutes after kick off and the turnstiles were shut and the police told us to f-off back to your southern sh**hole or we will f- ing nick you!

    We were then bundled into the back of the van and taken back to the station to get a train home.

    I think 26000 of there fans might hav something to do with it. Still, lets hope Charlton get a result and you see the winning goal for Charlton go in

    It was meant to have left there 15 minutes ago so it`s going to arrive even later! It`s supposed to be leaving Derby at 14.51

    Keep receipts from taxi and claim back from train company - happened to me a few years back on way to Leeds. Got off train in middle of nowwhere - walked along tracks, hailed a taxi and got to game just in time. Sent letter and tickets / receipt for taxi and got it all back - don't help you if you miss game - know how you are all feeling

    Just looked up cab situation for you guys and apparently should be stacks of black cabs at Sheffield Station but if anyone wants a cab firm number to book ahead a cab or minibus let me know and will post one here, good luck
  • palcafcpalcafc
    You boys there yet
  • PragueAddickPragueAddick
    Well they at least came up with 4 minutes of stoppage time, so that bit more for you guys.

    Seems Airman Brown is one of those on the trains.

    Get everybody together and jointly sue, not just for the train fares but the admission fees as well.

    Train company will blame Network Rail, Notwork Rail will blame contractors. Absolute joke. Really feel for all those affected.

    Worthwhile working together as a class action. These companies make huge profits and need to be held to account.
