    Nothing to say it could be changed and Grimsby never set a date.

    Thanks Barnsley. Maybe they can give me the outwards bound ticket money back.

    Are you sure your ticket isn't an off-peak ticket. ie. Not time specific.

    It's timed.
    Just spent another 10 quid to get an earlier train time

    Why would you book it without 100% confirmation?

    Bad news for you. Happens to the London and southern based fans quite often for league games when the police force change kick off times at the last minute and its annoying (and expensive)

    Always get confirmation from both clubs before booking owt. Put it down as a lesson learnt and be grateful it only cost you a tenner.

    For future reference Hemsy, you don't need to book on a specific train journey when using the railways, especially for a trip somewhere like Cleethorpes. It's only usually for main line trips or when you want reservations.

    You can just buy a ticket for the day of travel that's valid for any train on that date. At a weekend, it will always be off-peak too.

    They do it deliberately to upset you. And it works.

    or you've decided that off-field activities are now to be placed under your microscope of lunacy. Seeing as Yiadom, Winnall, Roberts, Hourihane have all made you look daft.

    Where you travelling from? Cheapest fares from Barnsley and Wakefield are off-peak and anytime respectively both of which aren't time specific. Cheapest from Donny is an advance which is time specific but only costs £6.50.

    Got to agree with you lad, its a bit of an arse when things like this happen. But unfortunately for you, unless you travel on the club's official coaches, then they are not responsible for your travel costs.

    As I keep saying when there is a thread slagging off things the club does, we don't know what has gone off behind the scenes. It's already been mentioned, but there is a bit of an history of violence at Grimsby, so the Bobbies might have put their foot down and forced the change. One thing IS for certain though, it wasn't done just to piss you off.

    I'd take the advice of others in this thread, and learn from the experience. Open, off peak tickets are readily available and can save you a shot load...

    This was one of Corbyns policies, flexible train tickets for football fans.

    Why not just go to the station ON THE DAY and buy a ticket. No need to book in advance for this trip, surely?
