That makes it better, but the whole "Groupsave" calendar seems to me to be unfair, as well as making the discount complicated. Every time I wish to use Groupsave, I have to check the calendar - not good.
You could organize some kind of roster system where by your two or three travelling companions take it in turns to do the checking. But unfair of them to expect you to organize everything
As I'm Agnostic can I still get a GroupSave?
I reckon I have a stronger case as an atheist (although not, I hope, one of the bumptious and rather noisy Richard Dawkins stable)
Getting back to something like the serious topic though, 80,000 people doesn't seem like it will
necessarily have a vast impact on
FGW▸ 's operation. They'll have come from all over the country, with many from or staying in the big smoke itself.
80,000 is less than a full Wembley (cap. 90,000) and more akin to a Millennium stadium (cap. 74,500) which even when two London teams were playing in Cardiff didn't make things impossible. Uncomfortably busy perhaps (with my usual impeccable timing I always seemed to have plans to travel to Bristol or Wales on those weekends) but that was with a significant percentage of people heading to the game using FGW which took them right from home to their destination. The pope's fans will be coming from a hugely more diffuse catchment area.
Of course I stand to be corrected should chaos reign on the day. But something tells me it probably won't.
