So, the bottom line is there ISN'T anyone willing to run an independent coach service, at this point in time. I'm glad we got there in the end, amongst the fake news
Anyone tried this fella?
Despite my Welsh connections,this isn't me.I'm on the Eltham coach,let's hope I get up in time as i'm on the piss in Faversham the day before.
£27 for the coach is steep, they're clearly profiteering based on lack of trains.
Bonkers fare. A 49 seater coach on that run from SE London / NWK should be £750 to hire tops, but I expect the ridiculous pick-up route guarantees it requires an extra driver.
Traditionally you price on 35 passengers so that you can run two if you get 70 people (which also solves the pick-up problem), but a £27 fare would imply they are paying £950 for the coach - and they don't take any risks with spare capacity anyway. It just looks like someone fleecing a captive market, whether it's the club and fans or the coach company and the club.
Bearing in mind the club gets a share of the match ticket price, it's likely to be counter-productive to charge that much.
I think we ran three or four coaches to Halifax in 2011 for a similar kick-off and that was live on UK TV.

Cheapest coach I've come across 49 seater £800 Bromley-Mansfield no other pick ups
The is the first step on the road to becoming the coach steward. You’re innocently musing about costs on a football forum, then all of a sudden you find yourself in Larkfield for 6am every other Saturday, getting the scratchcards ready, working out who’s sitting next to who and discussing with the drivers how long we have at Newport Pagnell
We will play a weakened team and get beat - much cheaper to buy a sledge hammer and hit yourself over the head with it. I suspect that would be slightly more enjoyable, or at least as enjoyable so much better value!

I can't cabbles the wife reminded me I said after Fleetwood away 2 seasons ago to hit me over the head with a hammer if I do the coach again.

Plus the club coaches were free.
Welcome back Elfs.
Cheers mate, thanks for that. Shame about the individual that gave me the flag, he must have been dying to do that for a long time.
