Quote: mish "We were fine Steve, our coach (No 7) was one of the first there and ended up parking at the top of the hill and the driver said 'Sod it, I'll just pay the (parking) fine, I'm not driving all around town or you'll never find me - come back here when you've finished'. So that's what we did.
However I heard the match announcer telling everyone that someone will direct them to their coaches once they got outside the ground and some were them told to go to a certain point and their coaches would come and pick them up. Others wandered aimlessly around and I saw one old couple who walked up and down that big hill twice trying to find their coach.
I think the blame must lie firmly on the shoulders of The Shay - they were fully aware of how many coaches we were taking yet seemed to make no provisions for them to park up anywhere.'"
Having now seen the information supplied I fully understand what arrangements had been made, but only because I spent an hour and a half chasing round trying to get things sorted pre match, local knowledge of the Shay and surrounding area would have prevented the confusion, ie a steward designated with the job
As I said, just a bit of common sense and forethought
But he ho, everybody got home
And we won
