| The coach company will probably only budget on about 30 minutes less to go to Widnes than Wakey, on both trips part of the cost will be the driver just sat there for a couple of hours why the game is in progress.

I wasnt having a go at you hun and i know you are doing a sterling job sorting the coaches out for everyone not many would do it i surpose the prices reflect the times and cost of fuel etc
Appologies if my post was taken in the wrong way.'"

Usually companies who know they will have to work Bank holidays, like say ASDA, don’t pay their employees more money or charge you extra for your tin of beans, on those days. So I don’t think that will be too much of an issue, but you never know.
Just to compare, it costs me £146 to send a wagon from here to Halewood, and £258 to go to Sheffield, nearest places to both destinations that we go to.
Assuming it’s a 54 seater and the vehicle I send had seats , that would be £2.70 to Halewood and £4.77, so just a couple of quid difference.

| Makes all the differance though £3 to Widnes and £5 to wakefield is a lot better value for money and probably along the lines i would expect the charge to be

Yeah but I'm not transporting people, I would think the coach companies insurance, driver costs, vehicle cleaners, administration, maintenance etc are higher than a flat bed wagon.

| Cost to us if all the coach is full is over £5 a head, we have to charge slighty over so as to cover the cost if we dontt fill the coach, like on some accasions we havent . Lisa cant foot the bill. So we make about 50p per person,. extra and it all goes into LISA..... which all ends up being spent on players.

I don't think anyone would expect or want you to run it at a loss.
FWIW the cost doesn't seem too bad to me*, just out of interest which coaches haven’t been filled?
* not as good as my free truck though

| Well I'd say your prices are about right then.
I can understand the Fev re-arrange game not being full mid week an all that, like wise Swinton again some people don't like to drive a 'long way' on motorways but will happily drive to Swinton, and that's why you may struggle with the Widnes one.
