Time for an extra pint then

 

[Sean Thornton]

Time for an extra £9 pint then

…….

Time for an extra pint then

If you're getting through a pint a minute it's probably a good think the rest of us are being made aware how to deal with medical emergencies

 

[Bladesman]

…….

£10 pint.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Imagine you miss your train home by 1 minute on Saturday….

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Typical ticket office. Shambles.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Typical ticket office. Shambles.

Nothing on the website either. They’ll all be fucking about transferring seats for people and answering phone calls about tickets coming out and how many we’ve sold.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Now that the KO time is confirmed, the tickets can finally be sent out (hopefully).

…….

Wembley Hylton was selling three quarter pints for £9 Three years ago, obviously I know it's the Hylton......God knows what they are charging now. It's unfortunate that a day at Wembley is basically rip off city.

Surely if every minute mattered then they should kick off one minute earlier.. not one minute later??

 

[SwissBlade]

Surely if every minute mattered then they should kick off one minute earlier.. not one minute later??

Makes more sense.

 

[Go with the Flo]

Exactly, aren't we in effect wasting a minute?

 

[JT89]

Surely if every minute mattered then they should kick off one minute earlier.. not one minute later??

But if that was the case there'd be no extra minute for Sky to throw on a couple of extra ads...

 

[Geordie Blade]

If I miss my train back, they'll be getting a letter and bill, explaining exactly why every minute matters.

 

[S64 Blade]

I can’t make it now.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Official coach confirmations out.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Tickets delayed now.
The extra minutes entertainment, boosts seat price by 47p (plus £2 booking fee). Just need to login with all the customer numbers, scan your QR code and pay .

 

[Rodders]

Official coach confirmations out.

Setting off 2 hours earlier to allow for the new time.

 

[Sithblade]

They should have used this

 

[Harrisblade]

If I miss my train back, they'll be getting a letter and bill, explaining exactly why every minute matters.

Best not mention the 60 minutes you spent in the station bar then!

 

[BladeByChoice]

Just noticed a change in kick off time by 1 minute, I’m wondering if this has any historical significance to either club or just Sky being Sky.

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

I have it on good authority that all ticket sales are null & void due to this
