The club should be subsidising this IMO and make it £12 for the coach and free parking.
All this £3 to park and £1.50 handling fee etc is all very Duchalet.
Think back to our vital promotion game away at Port Vale. The Directors at the time paid for coach travel to get the support out, and get us over the line.

Yes, nothing wrong with looking to cover the cost of the stewards etc.
I don’t really agree. Each coach is going to yield £750-£1,000 over and above the hire cost. On top of that the club will get 45% of the net ticket receipts (after allowable costs and VAT). Therefore the first priority is to get people to go to the game and sell the allocation.
If the club sells 200 car park places it will receive £500 net of VAT less the cost of administration. It can generate that from a fraction of a coach.
I don’t think £3 is terrible, although it means many people will park around the ground where they can. I just think it’s the wrong focus. They’d be much better off running an extra coach.
This is wrong so needs correcting. The club’s margin on each coach will be £250-£500.

So that’s a no?
The Lord hath created hip flasks for a reason.
So, after being told no alcohol allowed on the coach you want to bring alcohol and risk everyone’s trip being turned back….
