HU9 5HE EAST HULL 29 seater - £35 a head 49 seater - £25 a head 72 seater - £20 a head


WF1 5EY HELL VUE 29 seater - £35 a head 49 seater - £25 a head 72 seater - £20 a head

WA2 7NE JERRY'S PLACE 29 seater - £35 a head 49 seater - £25 a head 72 seater - £20 a head

Bottom line, between £35 and £20 a head including minimal donation to the development fund. The "extra" that is charged for the coach goes to either making sure I don't get scorched (yesterday we had 49 people on the fun bus at £15 each...with a few no shows, but after the toll into wales and the tickets for Buck and Dusty....we broke even)
So.......and this is not a booking, just a litmus test.......... who's up for what?

It was brilliant yesterday, even with paddock goading the away day virgins



(....friggin intercity ultras

), but I would recommend that we pick 1 game and try to get 3 coaches filled.
To those who weren't on the welsh bus, it was a class 1, luxury coach with DVD player (note to Steve.......remember the discs next time you numpty), loo and air con......
If we can agree a game to target, I will leverage whatever help I can get from the club with promoting this.
Lastly, I have arranged for an East London pick-up/drop off for an extra £50....so there again, that's what the little bit of extra cash will go towards.
"Dan staines was god" and the sudcup massive............no chewing gum at the back of the bus

Any ideas on journey times?

Depending on dates not clashing with my work commitments I'd be up for another away trip

I'm out before they've started


My mate works Sundays so we'll miss out

All journeys are approximately 3 hrs 45 minutes each way, including stops to collect/drop off.
Wakey is a 3.30 KO, the other two 3pm, so 10.15 am depart TW2 (9.15 EAST LONDON) and 6pm to set off home.
M1 for Wakey and Hull, Wire M40.....With potential for 2 service station collect/drops)
This should, as on Monday, give us 1 hour before and 1 hour after the game to quaff ale and point at the locals....


Setting my sights high this time......I would like to see 2 x 72 seaters.....full......complete with DVD's (Steve!)
Free strepsils for all!!!!!

You mean he wasn't drooling on the WAG's this time?

as well as drooling, he was goading

....grueling

Sadly, I couldn't make any of those three dates.

Now, if you were running a bus to Odsal, I could do that...

I would have 2 for any of the games as I go to most already but its a much better atmosphere on the coach

Definitely on for HKR, but can't bring the kids before a school day (they loved it, by the way). Can't make Wakey, probably, but should be on for Warrington. Could we slip in a Richmond drop-off in there on the way back?

Buck and Dusty were on the coach??? Don't they make the reserves do it? I always thought it was Jonny Grayshon in there.

Never saw buck and dusty - heartbroken.

would try and do all three, fave would warrington or wakefield.

I am from Hull and would normally drive up and see family etc ect

I, and probably my brother too, would definitely book onto Wakefield and Warrington coaches (this time I will set two alarms so that one of them has to wake me up).
Hull KR I will make my own way up if I can make it.

What would you mean by an "East London" Drop off point, as us Easterners come from many different places, can I suggest it be near a train station if possible, otherwise I may as well just go to Twickenham.

Like the idea though, well done gutterfax for researching all of this.

I'd be up for another trip on the gutterfax express! The Warrington game looks best for me at the moment (assuming we are talking Sep 13th?)

Sounds like Gutters did a good job with the coach (maybe should get money up front though, as not fair if Gutters is out of pocket).

We've already got our train tix for Hull KR or would have joined the festivities.

Warrington could be a goer for us though.

Top geezer Gutterfax.



Well done. Keep it up.

Gutterfax the new fiddler

soon be wearing shorts driving the bus

That would be funny........considering that as I hurtle towards my 44th birthday I still have never driven a car.
It would be like Alton Towers and Rugby League all rolled into one!

......fine arrangements down to Bridgend & congrats to 'Gutterfax' but sad to see the 'prices' creeping up from £15 to £20.......could it be that he got the idea of the 'uplift' from the poster down in the Celtic bar - they charge £30 for their bus up North













Also what about a pick-up/drop-off point in Hammersmith for those of us from Fulham, Chiswick and around NW & W postcodes.......excellent 'nite' bus services from there as well.

Still count me in for Warrington and while on the subject what about the Grand Final.....the sooner the better so as to ensure decent ticket location availability.

Prices haven't crept up.......£15 was for 187 miles, the other journeys are for a bit further. HTH. Also, I have made the decision to up the exact quoted fare to ensure 3 things.
Firstly, I don't get toasted as I paid £840 notes for the coach before I had received it......and it also covers the potential £50 surcharge for picking up fans in East London.....Oh...and it covered the Toll to Wales....
Secondly, some of the excess (if any) goes toward paying for Buck and Dusty as it is good to see them run out at other grounds and they were well appreciated by both sets of fans on Monday.
Lastly, any money left over goes to the development fund.
I appreciate that there is a credit crunch at present, but let's face it £20, up from £16.66 (if the coach is 100% full) is hardly going to break the bank. As it is, 60 fans covers the cost of a 72 seater.
If anyone thinks (or wants to take over) they can do this better, please be my guest.
SB....there's a fair bit more to this than getting a quote from a coach company

You do an outstanding job. Thank you.

RANT RANT RANT RANT
AS HAS BEEN HINTED AT IN A RECENTLY RECEIVED PM......Buck and Dusty were FREEBIES.....NOBODY ELSE TRAVELLED FREE OF CHARGE.

Everyone else paid for the coach.
FFS......The implication that I didn't pay (or anyone else, VOLUNTEER OR OTHERWISE for that matter) is taking the shine of a good trip.

If anyone thinks that by ensuring we get a good coach, with alternative pick ups, the sight of Buck and Dusty running out with the team and a reliable service by putting £3.50 on a fare is taking the mick, can I suggest nationalrail.co.uk or other such sites

So long as they dont let you anywhere near the steering wheel they should get the e and back ok !!


Thanks for the 2 points by the way.

Anyone crying about the coach trip to Bridgend is an idiot. I think I can speak for the majority that the fun bus was excellent and seeing Buck and Dusty at the Crusaders' ground was brilliant.

I take it the PM was from stormingbronco?

I don't know why you pay any attention to that oxygen thief.

Just a tad touchy at the moment........implying there were 5 freebies including B'n'D simply rattled my cage. The other two people implied as freebies give so much of their time and money to the club that I felt I had to respond.....as it is, they probably deserved to travel free. Oh, they also raised loads of money on the bus by raffling off tickets donated by the club, as well as a signed ball.....and they gave me a pork pie as well!!!!!!
