Title: Barnsley away? 15 quid a seat
Post by: Anonymous on Sunday, June 26, 2005, 13:43:55
Hello as you maybe aware SAS travel is highly likely to be run by someone else next year which will proberley spell the end for the cheap-ish sort of service that SAS have been able to provide and should the club take over itself it would be a safe bet to say that the prices will rise even higher.

So i with the help of a close friend have been in touch with a local coach company about setting up a coach for Barnsley for a trial so to speak to see how well a possible coach to each game could work.

So we decided to "hire" a coach for Barnsley away, our first game of  the season at 15 pound a seat. If anyone is intrested or knows of any intreseted in taking a seat on the coach please P.M me or email me at [email protected]

Thanks,

Bring something to do or go to sleep! Thanks for the replies so far i had a bit of business but if you could pass it on to anyone who may be intrested i'd be delighted to know as these internet forums are there is to really "advertise" on at the moment. I just think it's better if the  coach service was kept running by the fans and not took over by the club.

Anyway i guess i better start posting some stuff on STFC unless you lot just think i'm using it as a bit of free advertising!!!!!

 I think having beer on a football fans coach may actually be illegal.....

Il show you lads a picture of what happens when you get lads drinking on an independent football coach. Not good. Bournemouth away, the boys in blue were none too happy. Good job we were all slashed cos otherwise we might have been shitting a brick.

Its illegal to even take alcohol onto a football coach. But then you read the rules on football and alcohol and there really isnt much that is actually legal.

You need a Swindon badge on that otherwise everyone thinks its southampton. It wouldnt last 5 seconds in a ground. I have enough trouble getting my SwindonLoyal flag in the ground because its 'political'. Pathetic.

Not really a problem. We are after all a legal supporters group whose intention is to support the team.

A mate of mine goes on the Boyley(sp) Bus  to United games, and it does sound a bit messy :D   Not a lads coach but a few I suppose, and they're mostly dressers.  They seem to get to most places fine, only harassed by police, never nicked.

Thats United down to a tee. Even their barmies wear black P&S and are well organised. Often 15 unnofficial coaches at away games. They get harrassed because their very presence in an alien town is going to cause problems (40 lads in casual gear for every coach and they get there early drink a lot and get very mouthy), but in truth they are just old school football fans. Direct descendants from the mighty 70's Red Army, the first supporters to travel en masse away. Makes for awesome support in the ground. Sort of thing I want to do.

Only other set of supporters ive seen that well organised is Glasgow Rangers. Supporters clubs all across Scotland.

I'm going to do a european away with them at some point, sounds like a proper laugh and they don't have the same sort of mentality as alot of English fans abroad.  Their away support is superb, it has to be said.  They also have an unwritten rule to get as many people in the ground as they can, my pal did a 100% season last year including euro aways.

Let us know if you get a coach going at all next year.
