Title: Coaches! Post by: fittons_coaching_badge on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 10:11:20 How long do people reckon it will take to get to Wembley on the coaches? I am on coach 33 and am not anticipating arriving much before 1pm!
Just 4 more sleeps to Wembley people :) Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: Rustle on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 10:15:23 Hope to get there before that as i want to have a few pints,hopefully around 12 would be good.
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: Bogus Dave on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 10:16:55 Scheduled to leave at half nine.
Leave the county ground at 10.15 Stuck in traffic at the M4. Get past the membury services about 11.30 Arrive in London at 1.30 Inevitably get lost. Go Past tower bridge about 2.30 Arrive At wembely for 3. Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: fittons_coaching_badge on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 10:25:08 Scheduled to leave at half nine.

Go Past tower bridge about 2.30 Arrive At wembely for 3. If the coach driver gets lost I want my bloody money back! Did anyone hear Nick Watkins on 5 live last night with the Swindon fan in Australia who has got the local tv station to broadcast the Swindon game down under? Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: Power to people on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 13:05:06 I would imagine if they are scheduled to leave at 9.30 then surely they will be at wembley by 12, is there likely to be a police escort through london with so many coaches ??
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 13:06:43 didn't we get a police escort through to QPR in our last playoff year?
and that was only for 16 coaches. let alone 62. be great seeing that convoy though Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: tans on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 13:07:29 62??
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 13:10:18 yeah 62 official coaches according to the OS the other day

Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: tans on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 13:17:51 well im fucked
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 13:18:45 will look ace down the M4 and into Landan
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 13:47:06 The megabus takes less than 2 hours from Swindon to Victoria. I'd add another hour simply for the amount of buses. I'd say 1pm is looking more realistic.
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: jonny72 on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 13:59:24 They won't all be leaving at 9.30am, when there was 48 coaches they were going to do them in two batches which will possiby be three batches now there is 62 coaches. Could easily be 10.30am before they are all on their way.
Add on the traffic, especially once they leave the M4, and I reckon 1pm at the earliest. Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: medwayred on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 16:13:03 You can drive it in an hour so coaches should be there 12.00 wouldn't have thought police ecsort as it's not London really
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: Bogus Dave on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 16:14:40 Swindon to Wembely in an hour?!
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 16:19:17 Swindon to Wembely in an hour?! magic coaches! Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 16:23:22 not a chance of doing it in an hour.double it,and some.
i can do it in 1h50ish in my truck with no holdups.saturday lunchtime on the north circular especially when a big crowd is at wembley is not pleasant,or quick. Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: Tails on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 17:38:25 16 or so went to Charlton were scheduled to leave at 3, it must have been at least half past before we made any kind of movement.. Fuck knows what it's gonna be like with 60 odd!
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: leefer on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 18:35:25 Apparently with private coaches Wembley are expecting at least 120 coaches.
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 18:43:05 So has any one heard how many tickets we've sold lately?
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 18:50:34 probably not many unless the website will have a monster update tomorrow.
but i doubt it Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: mexico red on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 18:52:12 facebook group says 29,000 and millwall have sold 34,000
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 18:56:19 so 300 more tickets since saturday. cant see 30k being broken
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: Rustle on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 19:01:40 Slightly disappointed with that considering swindons population alone must be around 250,000,I know it's expensive and maybe near peoples holidays but i was expecting us to hit around 32,000 at least.
Lets hope we can make up for it vocally. Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: ronnie21 on Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 19:06:33 Apparently with private coaches Wembley are expecting at least 120 coaches. Adver saying it will be nearer 200 with all the private ones that are going!! And we always believe the Adver don't we?Title: Re: Coaches!

Coaches will depart at 9.30am and are unable to wait for latecomers due the number of coaches involved. There will be only a very limited number of parking spaces available in the car park. Please keep within the car park bollards while waiting to board your coach. There is strictly no alcohol to be taken on any of the coaches (this is the law). There will be no cold buffet service on this trip. The coaches will not be stopping on route to Wembley.

If you need confirmation please ring 01793 536757 between 7pm and 9pm on Thursday. Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: ronnie21 on Wednesday, May 26, 2010, 17:08:43 62 coaches leving the County Ground means that the town's car parks are going to be rammed, bet there will be a few moans from Tesco! Swindon Travel coaches are leaving from the Merlin, there's not much car parking there either!
Title: Re: Coaches! Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, May 26, 2010, 17:12:53 Is anyone not sorted yet? Not 100% but might have a seat on one of the National Express ones to sell.
