Well it’s past 5pm now, so I’d imagine ticket offices at Fulham and Wimbledon are both closed - good luck getting the right ticket tomorrow everyone….

RIP Tim Curry of Rocky Horror and Home Alone 2 fame.

Just as developers never deploy new code on a Friday I fear for the ticket team if they send out a mass ticket-link email now and then head off to enjoy their evenings.

Fulham is the go-to club to suggest when people are told that they’re not allowed to be Wimbledon fans anymore by snowflakes and the easily-offended you-know-who’s.

Didn’t Charlie Koppel say we could all go and support Fulham?

“I’d rather have QR than NFC….”

Your

Are there any songs we can sing tomorrow evening to convey our annoyance?

Has anyone received anything yet? I haven't yet. And isn't the office now closed?

Really hope they just say sit/stand where you like. Far easier than trying to find your seat and dealing with anyone who might already be sat in it by mistake. Far easier for groups of friends/family to sit together and generate a better atmosphere accordingly. Those who really care where they sit eg the youngsters who like being up at the back can grab their places early and those who are more flexible can arrive later and pick up the spare spaces.

DO - we shall see…

A4e - I would imagine Fulham have sent 5,000 digital tix and a spreadsheet showing section, row and seat number for each. Afcw will need to extract a spreadsheet of all tix booked, showing name, email addy, section, row and seat number. A vlookup between the two should then enable each digitix to be emailed to correct purchaser.

Yeah who knows. The ticket team have helped me out numerous times so they have my trust in that they’re probably not the ones delaying things.

Thanks Trigg - weird that they haven’t yet done it, assuming that each ticket booking is associated with one specific email address, in which case they simply click “send all” or something…. Unless of course they are going to send each one individually and type in the email addresses manually……

Thanks Pete I enjoyed that

A4e the club has confirmed it has received the digital links from FFC and will be emailing them to fans today.

There is a snopes on pete's posting but much of it is authentic. Nearly everyone copied our track gauge but went for bigger loading gauges, i.e. how long, wide and tall train carriages can be. So they get more comfortable journeys and a much greater possibility of double decker trains which are effectively impossible in the UK.

After Pete's post, feel both more informed and amused. Thanks for that, Pete.

Did anybody get an answer for when Fulham are planning to email tomorrow’s tickets out…?

I listened to a podcast about IKB yesterday which mentioned the 4 ft 8.5 inches, but didn't explain its origin. So thanks for that Pete! Also mentioned the alternative 7 foot gauge and the reasons it didn't work.

Some of the footage coming out of Tibet/Nepal is almost unbelievable.

I enjoyed that post, Pete. Was familiar with where standard gauge came from but didn't realise 'quite' how old it was. The postscript is that alternatives have been tried - Brunel 7 foot on GWR and lots of narrow gauge railways (2' 7"? something like that anyway). Broad gauge didn't catch on because you can't have such tight corners. And I guess narrow gauge only makes sense where the twisty topography justifies a journey that will be more rickety, with the edges of the carriages well wide of the wheels.

Just got an email from the club ...... advertising The Tumeric Company. You couldn't make it up.

Definitely the city. I have no doubt that RK’s narrow blockers are city folk out in the ruralities.

Of course, both require common sense and politeness. In other words, there's no hope
