Just received four tiger travel tickets.
Surprised to see there is no seat or even coach number/letter.
We have to join a queue at the stadium, where we are then presumably herded into assigned coaches.
That’s going to take time. It says we start at 8.30.
Wonder if they start actually queueing/ assigning coaches before.

Sounds like an absolute mess. Guess it's a case of fill them up and get them going

I think it’s a case of getting there as early as you can (aiming for 7.30am here) and as soon as you’ve been bag checked they’ll get you on a coach and each coach will set off as soon as they’re full. First come first served.

I can’t see us needing a plod escort but if the Met insist then I presume the coaches will all end up on an industrial estate somewhere in the outskirts of London to line up for that.

That's my plan.

Wouldn't be surprised if the booking system wouldn't work without filling out some fields. Hence it assigning row and seat numbers.

Did tiger travel for the cup semi final but don't remember much other than I got a bone shaker.

I did Tiger Travel for our previous two finals (FA and Play-Off) but we had coaches assigned to us.

For Millwall away, there was a cock up where Coach 8 (of 8) was not big enough for the amount of people assigned to it and it meant some people had to move to other coaches. One issue with that is that some coaches, with spaces on them, had set off!

Luckily, some people had opted for 'return only' on Tiger Travel so it was those people they could move around for the way back.

Do the windows on coaches actually open now ?
Surely that must be against some health and safety laws

(Disclaimer : I can't even remember the last time I was on a coach
probably about 15 years ago)
