As an aside from the Arsenal result I just wanted to say a few words about our lack of after-match transport and hope it will be better at BMD ,it could hardly be worse. I walked at full time across to Walton Lane for the 919 to town . Usually there are 3 or 4 buses and the jobsworth stewards make each one fill up before opening the doors on the next one .They all fill up anyway so whats the difference ? This time there was only one bus and a huge queue with many noisy away fans . Jobsworth said the other buses are coming back - I know that lad but the traffic isn't moving at all ! Could be 40 minutes wait . Decided to walk over to County Road and faced the same problem of full buses and a long wait in the rain . Could have walked to Kirkdale but it's only a 30 minute service on Sundays.
On the plus side got chatting to some guys from near Warrington who travel home and away then a voice piped up ' can you help me get a bus , I'm from Nashville ,Tennessee '. He can't have been impressed with the transport arrangements any more than the game ! On the packed bus ride I noticed quite a few fans with bags from the club shop even on such a day. Our support is amazing ,especially the younger end.
Back to the transport issue though and I wonder how much thought has been put into this by the authorities ? I guess they are banking on a lot of fans being able to walk from BMD to town and this is likely to be quicker than waiting for a bus or train .
Rant over .
