Also, can you put me onto the person who appointed you as supreme judge of what salary people deserve? Thanks

Id say a solider is worth more than a tube driver

Geoff. Remember this part of my kick off post.

ADVICE IS TO BE AWARE AND ALLOW MORE TIME TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION ON FRI OR THE MATCH ON SAT.

It's likely that Sat should be back to normal just about by about midday, if the tube strike goes ahead the day before.

Just trying to be helpful and informative to my fellow heroes and heroines of the Hull KR supporters collective. Not really interested in the merits and demerits of the Tube Strike tbf.

I'm happy that your hotel is close to Kings Cross, but others might not be so lucky. As I currently walk 4 to 5 miles a day on average on 2 dog walks in mixed terrain on the boundaries of the North York Moors in my early retirement, I am happy to inform that my feet, heart and lungs are fully aware of what walking is all about. Appreciate your concern for my welfare, however.

My hotel is our daughter's spare room in SW London. Bloody long walk from Kings Cross, however, but cheap and the breakfast is usually free.

And I assume your sole criteria for coming to that opinion is because the soldier if on tour, risks his life?

I'm not even sure why you or anyone else would make that comparison anyway? Comparing one job to a totally unrelated job, rather than actually read up on the strike to find out why they're doing it. Some people just see that they're paid £40 odd grand and think 'fk em', pretty close minded, jealous attitude.

My nephew's kids club do this walking bus system whereby all the kids from the kids club wear high viz jackets and walk in a long line of pairs, flanked by various staff members. Perhaps we could do a similar thing but with Rovers shirts?

Not jealous at all good luck to them but i wouldn't expect any sympathy from the general public and wasn't it you who mentioned comparisons with other jobs

I doubt they're looking for public sympathy. And, no I didn't compare it to any other job.

Have a read up on it. Broaden that mind of yours.

Times have changed but most of the time not for the better unless you are rich and a MP but enough of that lets hope rovers can pull of a win then we will all be happy

To say they risk terrorist attacks everyday is just stupid they are at risk as much as anyone else in London sounds like you want us to go back to the 70s were strikes solved nothing in the end I was in a union for 10 years and when it came for them actually having to do something they were useless never again would I waste my time with these crooks I also remember my dad who was a docker coming out for a month in support of the miners and the only person who came out of that well was scargill with his nice new house

You and me may believe that they aren't under daily threat of terrorist attacks but the government have London on red terror alert permanently. If they believe that then look after the people who work there.
Unions didn't work for you. Well maybe we should do away with space rockets too as you've never used one.
Unions work otherwise we'd all be working from 7 years old and dying from horrific work related injuries and illness (see UK pre unions and see rest of the world were our big corporations now set up business to avoid unions and..........taxes.)
