Lots of (justifiable) outrage from Cardiff fans online yesterday, as the first trains from Cardiff (via Crewe) gets them into Lime Street at 12:11

Many of our fans are affected as well, as that is also the first train from Euston.  (West Coast Mainline through trains are diverted, and there are buses between Rugby and Stafford.)

I have argued for a long time that, in the interests of the environment, no event involving more than 2,000 people should be licensed to go ahead unless there is a transport plan filed with the local authorities demonstrating how attendees can make us of public transport to get to/from the event.

I agree completely. I remember the Cup Semi-Final against Everton back in 2012 that was a midday kick off. Absolute nightmare for people to get to. Then the final against Chelsea which was the first one moved to a 5.30 slot meaning no trains were running back to Liverpool after the match if it went to extra-time/penalties. The fans have long been disregarded by the TV companies and the FA. Would love to see some change to this.

What’s even stranger is that there is no 2pm kickoff that day.

The FA must have a side deal with Travelodge as people will now have to stay over.

The kick off time has been heavily influenced by the police. So arguments over convenience take a back seat unfortunately.

What do we think the chances are of getting a ticket with Shrewsbury. Hoping it's pretty good as took my 4 year old and he loved it so hoping we get a nice little cup run. Guess it's all those in upper anny and a few more corporate ones that are short for this one

There’s a provisional sale listed for all season ticket holders and members, which usually means the club don’t think it will sell out with just Shrewsbury. Should have a fairly decent chance I think

If people have the same number of devices as you open (probably will) there’ll only be less than 4,000 people in the queue

I’d defo have it where you log into your account and then there’s a link to access the queue. One device only

This would also remove the people who are probably queuing without a Shrewsbury credit too

For those of us without Shrewsbury it would be good to know what’s left once the queue has emptied out. If the EFL cup is any guide I’m hoping there will be decent availability.

I’m also hoping Cardiff return some tickets given the early kick off and lack of trains.

Yeah very true. A small but good step the club have made is to only make the ticket sales visible for those who are eligible once you’re on the ticket page. That has saved a lot of frustration of people basketing tickets when they’re not eligible to buy

Went life and death there and had to settle for 3 singles after a 14000 over an hour queue position and forgetting my password. I’ve never known anything like that for such an early round against someone like Cardiff. Not even when it was 45000.

Do we think the issue is that it’s a no brainer for anyone with Shrewsbury to buy this and pass on knowing they’ll still get the credit in the event we proceed to the later rounds. The ability to distribute to non-members makes this even more likely.

Yeah defo. People buying for others is inevitable because of this. As long as it’s a one off season I don’t care as the credits don’t count for next season anyway

They’ve changed Monday’s Cardiff sale for members so it’s still only for those with Shrewsbury. Don’t understand why, they’ve had all week.

“Due to previous qualifying fans not having the opportunity to purchase a ticket, IF additional seats are released for sale, they will remain available to Season Ticket holders and Members who recorded Shrewsbury Town.

Please keep checking here for further sale updates..”

Theres been none available! Missed the sale so been looking every hour and none have appeared, it’s only right if there’s any available on Monday that those with Shrewsbury get them first.
