| Had to say Sunday was one of the worst days of my life! Starting from the Willows in the morning no one telling us what coach we were on and that we just had to jump on any coach, so getting on the abc coach and an hour into the journey the lady in charge goes to the front of the coach and says "ok who hasn't paid!" Who the hell is going to own up to say they havent paid for a coach?? when they dont need to. While we're getting food one of the lads on the coach wasnt happy as she went through his personal belongings,and just before we set off the coach driver says are we all here? Sorry but poor communication .Finally after getting off the bus the bus driver said to be bk at 18:00 - 18:10. When the Hull match finished it was at 17:45 so we're walking back through the park and see a fellow Salford fan down the hill not moving with his mates hands on theie heads dont know whats up with him .it took 6 guys to help him up and a few times we fell over trying so we was covered in dirt with all different supporters laughing at the state he was in. In the end we had to phone the ambulance for him and his mate said its ok we're looking after him so we left/ We got back to the park at 18:08 and there was only one coach left with salford fans on it and it just drove right passed us so me and my mate were stranded in the middle of Cardiff. Walking out of the park we saw a bunch of lads who was on our coach and said they missed it too! WTF Did the coach go home half empty? it was just a good job that it wasnt young lads in their teens that was stranded there because i know the parents wouldnt of been happy! im sure the coach could of waited 10 or 15 minutes behind especially if its half full from when it arrived there. The next day i was told the last coach that drove right passed us was twice as full as it was going there so people must of been desperate to get on it . Me and my mate had to get the train which cost 114 pound for me and my mate cos he had no money! My point is that the organisation was shockingly poor and im never travelling with salford rugby club again as they were hopeless!

Bad luck there mate. The Crusaders coaches left at 5pm so we only got to see the first half the Hull derby!

| yet our coach was fine, no one left behind and most if not all very drunk, mind you i did leave the ground after the salford embarrassment and had a nice afternoon drowning my sorrows.
But the club should have issued tickets before letting people travel and they should have had a club rep/steward on each coach, and teh club wonder why people make their own way to away matches.

| SHOCKING TREATMENT.get told to turn up ealry just like the other 150-200 fans did at 6.30 on sunday morning.Great example set to start the day when the women in charge turns up at 6.55!!!!!!!when busses leaving at 7!!i can understand drivers are contracted to work stict hours,but to leave so many fans behind and others having to get on other coaches as the A.B.C bus had long departed is a joke!especialy 230 miles away from salford,wouldnt have been so bad if it was half an hour down the road in warrington or wigan!

32990_1435324474.jpg First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg |

| Was this guy on the floor ill, drunk or did he just trip up and fall over? I find it really odd that the coach would set off before the leaving time if people were not on it.

They did issue tickets Pev, we should have been on coach 3 but were told that everyone has done their own thing so just get where you can. We heard that 20 people had missed the bus but i dont know if that was true. you cannot blame the club if people had got back the coach late, but if the coach did leave then that was a bit naughty

| We used ABC a number of times for the FunBus back in the day. They were bob on until after we played London Broncos at Brentford one time. The driver was on his way back home and almost left the bulk of us in the pub. Probably on purpose too.

Woah, the pregnant lady you were sat opposite hadn't touched a drop all day! Our coach really was fine though & all Kudos to Walshovski for sorting it.

| Sorry to state but the facts are relatively but largely correct.
I had a receipt for the coach (not a ticket) and on turning up was told to get on "this" coach: my receipt was not asked for. I commented on this on the way down suggesting the Crusaders' team could be on the coach for all we knew.
We stopped twice on the way down ... why? ... and the head count was done on the second stop. It was fairly easy as there were only two empty seats anyway. I was not warned about drinking or similar before the journey nor on getting on : however there were complaints after the second stop that bags had been searched and alcohol taken. people were angry at this action and also that they were told by the driver that drinking was OK.
On returning to the coach before 6, it was not where it was parked but about 100 metres away around a corner: on arrival in Cardiff the driver had told me he would be where we were dropped but he had moved for fuel and returned to a different place.
Apparently the lady in charge went back to the spot where we had been dropped and seeing no one, the coach left. Several on the coach wanted this as they were concerned with getting home asap with work the next day.
I calculated 17 missing but others said more like 25.
One of these was on another coach and caught us up at the ONLy stop on the way home.
We had a raffle for a shirt : anyone know if anyone won? I still have my ticket.
For the record, I have ran coach journeys. I have over 25 years of experience of such. I have thought hard about writing up a critique for the club but feel it would be seen ass criticism.
