    A poor Leeds turn out. I think it was 26 coaches and 3 transits.
    I recall counting 56 Kettering coaches when we played them at Selhurst Park in the FAC.
    I seem to recall a crowd of about 16,000 and at least half supporting Kettering.

    If my memory serves me right, the crowd was 16,001 and there were 8k Kettering fans there.

    Didn’t we take around 75 coaches up to old Trafford for the cup match ?

    My memory has been known to fail me, but I seem to recall that around 5,000 took to CASC coaches for that match

    There were simply no more coaches available to hire for that trip. We had hired every one possible. Fortunately,  it was just about right for those wanting to book on them. 
    The later booked coaches were starting to get a little long in the tooth and tired. I think they had buckets rather than toilets.

    We took many coaches to Bristol City in the cup. Even I got roped into stewarding one

    Wembley '98, I arranged six coaches just from Sevenoaks.

    Even then, we had to give a lift to about 30 fans on one of the Hasting coaches, who thought Sevenoaks meant Clacket Lane.

    I remember a few years back a St George’s day party ska/band boat that lots of Charlton on here were on with me, started at Greenwich then docked that afternoon at the pier down by the barrier so everyone could walk up to the lib club to continue the party, so it can be organised by charter boat companies if desired.

    I should think the objection would be to 200 or so potentially rowdy football fans turning up at the Barrier visitor centre on a Saturday lunchtime.

    So.... There IS a working pier by the barrier! I thought you said it was derelict?
