If you can arrange a stop off at a Birmingham junction for the North West fixtures then count me in too.

Make sure there's a toilet on the bus

Me and the Mrs

what about the "out of towners" living norf of the smoke, guvn'r????

Pick ups available on route......service stations the norm.

Please don't do pick ups in Maidstone or NZ. Only joking................. I may be interested if the details make sense.

It should be kept a simple as possible.....it might even work better to have the pick up/drop off point in Central London?....but as you say, no stops in NZ so not my problem.....

Central London adds about 2 hours to the return journey.

The Away Travel Coach should leave from The Stoop.

The last Sunday away game of the season should be targeted. It is;

=#FF8000[size=150Castleford[/size [size=150Tigers[/size vs =#00BFFF[size=150London Broncos[/size
Sunday 12th August 2012, 3.30pm, Wheldon Rd.

From some quick calculations via Google, Twickenham to Cas is 203 miles or on a good run 3 hours 26 minutes. Here's just a suggestion;

Leave at 10am (or even 10.30), add in a couple of stops at service stations to pick people up and lets say it takes 4 hours all in all. That gets you into Castleford for 2pm (for a 2.30 arrival based on the 10.30 departure). That leaves an hour and a half before KO.

Someone will be able to fill in the gaps here, do a drop off at a nearby pub and at the ground for those who want to go straight in and have the coach meeting behind or as close too, the away stand, as possible.

Fill the journey up with a Rugby DVD and when the bus gets lets say 30minutes from the ground have a CD put together of songs that will get the 50 or so singing and starting to build an atmosphere for the game itself.

Even go wild and have a theme as its the last Sunday away game. Beach party, fancy dress, inflatables etc whatever.

I do think a station on the way would be helpful, though it would depend on where must people were coming from. If 75% are local to the stoop then stopping somewhere else may not be the most convenient solution, let's not worry about the minor details yet. Work on the assumption it's the stoop and possibly one station or services along the way.

These have been great days out before so should try and get some
