I can see the financial point (though I don't accept that it's the be-all and end-all) - and I accept that he who pays the piper (i.e. the BBC) calls the tune, much as I find that tune distasteful. I'll wait until the coach times are published but would say it's 99.9% certain to be too early a departure for me to make; the earliest I can realistically get to Blyth by public transport will be just after kick-off time, and the cost would be prohibitive, so I'm pretty sure I for one won't be going. This saddens me, but I suppose life must go on ... Moan over.  

Mike, just waiting of the hire cost but I can tell you it will leave the Vine at 08:20 and the Ground at 08:40.  

Ecky, I think my question about subsidised travel has got lost in this thread somewhere!  Do you know if the £12.5k we are guaranteed will stretch to some or even all of the travel cost?

It's an east coast rewards ticket so it is not changeable.

I had to book it earlier in the week or not at all so I did know there was a possibility of change, not a complete idiot.

Doesn't stop me being pissed off

Can you try and flog it on gumtree or Somthing and get another or will you book a travel tavern and extend your stay?

Isn't this just the BBC taking the piss. Rather than choose just one potentially tasty tie, they are scared that the larger league team will be 3 up after 20 minutes making the rest of the coverage meaningless and folk will turn off. Meanwhile a whole host of genuine non league supporters are inconvenienced - the very people the early rounds of the cup are supposed to cater to. Wasn't going anyway but for the likes of Rocky, gutting.

One option is staying up North but leaving home at 6:45am Sat and returning at 10pm on Sunday has political ramifications......

Two months ago, I booked a non-returnable one night stay at the Eastleigh travelodge for the game on 4th January. All I can say is, if we get through to the 3rd round of the FA Cup and the game at Eastleigh is called off, I expect full compensation (£29 plus out-of-pocket expenses) and an unreserved apology from the BBC, the FA, Lee Sinnott, and Stubblemelt.

Disgrace.

Not for me to answer that one mate.

My personal opinion would be that it would be better spent elsewhere.

Of course if it was offered then it would be welcomed although it would be more beneficial to do it for a Saturday league game where we may have struggled to get a coach and entice people with cheaper fares.  We will get a decent coach turnout due to the occasion on Sunday.

It was free but in effect it will now cost me £62 to re-book and double the travel costs to Newcastle to £125.

I wouldnt have been able to make it on the Saturday and neither can I make it on the Sunday. I am bloody furious this game has not been changed to a different weekend. The BBC should not be allowed to keep all dates as originally set.

Gutted.

This must be a driving game. The nearest station is 15 miles away from the ground. More evidence that teams who play in green should automatically be relegated to the Haribo Mormon league division seven.

Delighted. I would had been there Saturday or Sunday, but have invites to a couple of events on the Saturday,so can make them now.

Just should we win, I need a home draw for 2nd round.
