The Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol) Act of 1985 is where the legislation comes from. It talks about a ban on alcohol on coaches travelling to 'designated football matches.' RL matches are not designated. It also gives the police the power to stop and search coaches, seize any alcohol they find, and turn the vehicles back. Of course, coach firms can also implement their own 'no booze' rules, but I can only think that a privately rented coach is not classed as a PSV as otherwise there would have been no need to bring this legislation in.

so far for 2012, i have stupidly booked flights for this year!, there is me
any one else want a place?

how much were your flights? just looking at an average price.

£115.00 each flying into girona the 20 euros on the frog bus to perpignan each way per person.
initially booked with bmi into perpy but they kept changing the flight days so sacked them off! (last year they did the same insted of 4 days ended up spending a week there! gutted )

It would be rude to turn it down! I'll bring the butties...

I've also booked flights too this year. I'd be up for it next year though. Survived 30 Hours Last Feb going Skiing in austria, i'm sure i can survive 16 hours (ish) to watch the rugby


Just AA route plannered it, 15hrs 54mins, 1630.1 km/1012.9 miles.

Yes, forgot about stops and coach speed limits. 16 and a half still is alright..ish.

That's 62mph from start to finish, you're average speed will be roughly 45 mph for a coach again with no snags.

So then it's 22 hours again with no problems. You'll learn one day young Padawan

22 hours, 2 hours for the match, 22 hours back, take into account the ferry time say 8 hours each way including customs, say 62 hour round trip, a doddle, you up for driving yed?

nah

what date we leavin?

Tomorrow,

Back in time for the GF.

well keep playin' like this we may need 2 coaches or a bendy bus!

I'm still up for this, there won't be many up for this i think so maybe a minibus.
