  1. That's fair enough but if they've abandoned the points system they should let people know. As they seem incapable of managing the points system maybe they should have a simple ballot for all going forward. See if that's within their competence.
  2. Really? I didn't know that, I've never seen any communications from the SSC on the criteria of waiting lists. How were told this is the case? This from the email sent to me from the SSC and it suggests to me the waiting list are based on points "We will be distributing the cancelled tickets to members that are on 5 points and are on our waiting list". There must be many members out there that didn't know the waiting lists are open to all
  3. Someone on five points should have got it before now but that's not the way the SSC works :). It might be this guy goes up to 5 points and 5 pointer like me goes down to 4 for the next game. Don't really blame the guy but he should never have been allowed on the waiting list first place.
  4. The ticket pick up over there doesn't stop harvesting, they've been having pick ups for what 15 years, probably more, and it still goes on. it's an excuse for a jolly at our expense, The only way it would work is 100% pick up which is not practical in most cases. However it is practical when there is a small allocation, like Slovakia and it is with small allocations (with low ticket prices) where harvesting is a bigger problem. If the SSC are serious about dealing with harvesting why are disregarding they disregarding the points system themselves?
  5. I asked today if it was true that tickets were being handed out to those on less than five points (grumpy 5 pointer who wasn't allowed on the waiting list). Never got a straight answer, certainly no denial. A very simple thing to get so wrong if the stories are true. They are paid a premium for a professional service so there has to be accountability. If tickets are being distributed to 5 pointers only, fine, although the waiting list could have been handled better. If this is not the case it makes a mockery out of the whole points system.
  6. I am the same. Why not put all 5 pointers on the waiting who ask? Yes give priority to those who ask first but allowing some 5 pointers on a waiting list and then telling others they can't get on just gets folks backs up.
  7. There were no trains running from Charloi either yesterday. Luckily there is a bus that goes to Metz via Luxembourg for anyone going that route.,
  8. It's a "rolling" strike whatever that means. Looking at today all day trains Paris to Metz aren't running but starting again tonight
  9. Never thought of that. I come into Nord on Eurostar so worst case scenario is a walk of 1hr 10mins. Hopefully it won't come to that, I'm sure I'll get on train eventually. More critical coming back as a cancelled or late train could mean a missed flight (if it's flying :))
  10. Possibly, France 24 say it is expected that 40% of TGV and two thirds of other services will be cancelled.
  11. It looks as if the rail strike is going ahead meaning possible train disruptions and cancellations between Paris and Metz. For anybody wanting a back up Megabus do that route for £5 - £10 each way
  12. I'm just about to cancel a twin room at the Campanile Metz - Woippy if anybody is still looking for accomodation. It's through booking.com
  13. Another looking for a bus from Auchterarder/Stirling if any passing?
