hi guys i usually drive to most away games but certain ones i like a beer or 2 does anyone know if there still doing the buses from the kings head , as id normally go with coach master to leeds but since he packed in very few options remaining , train too expensive , club coaches drink free etc ,

May be not after yesterdays shananagins!!!

oh dear dont sound to good what happened

I know of a bus that goes from the rodney, i'll PM you details.

Apparently beer got thrown outside the bus windows and when they pulled into services police turned up and taken all the alcahol

Did the driver get done by the Police? He's a nice bloke but cant remember his name?

No idea i wasn't there just got told in work today

Wrong!

An empty can was thrown out by some young lad and the bus was pulled over at Birch services. Approx 3 cases were "confiscated" by the police however approx 15 cases were allowed to stay on!

Police quoted as saying "That due to the bus going to a designated sporting event no alcohol was allowed on the bus" This was challenged by a few on the bus to be the law applying to football only. After hearing this confirmed by there superintendant, the motorway police, to keep face allowed the bus to continue with the 15 or so cases still on board.

There is more but can't be d to write anymore!

Should have guessed my mate was elaborating haha that story doesn't sound as good. Was it just one police car? as the bus was apparently "surrounded" by 3 cars haha

Was 4 or 5 cop cars with one of them parked up in front of the bus so there could be no "getaway"

Haha that would of been good a WBT double decker on the run!

i was chatting to franko last night its not the end of the issue and it has been reported to wbt

Hope this doesn't reflect badly on the driver as I know him well and he is one of the best guys going. Tbh I don't see what WBT are going to do, cans get thrown off school buses every day and it's a nice little earner for them so they're not going to knock it back in the future.

You say a nice little earner but prices I've been quoted by them in the past have been good for me but make me wonder that there can't be that much of a margin involved. And based on this, if they believe they're getting hassle they'll just stop it - or at least I would for the sake of one job every 2 weeks!

i did point out to the organiser he should be on top of behaviour like this and nip it in the bud right away, as you say its not the drivers fault just one idiot spoiling it for the rest as usual
