yeah but it only takes one copper to be having a bad day.....alan will know what im saying
I've researched it extensively, Ash.
As the minibuses are self drive, in that the drivers are not doing for it any kind of reward then none of the relevant Acts apply. As in you can do what you like, go where you like and drink as much as you like. Including sporting events and in particular football.
It also exempts you from PSV regs (that are getting pretty nailed down now) and so on.
Now if Dangerfields supplied a paid driver (for example on one of the trips Yeovil did) then that would be completely different. No booze allowed en route to a match and the driver would be personally liable if caught.
Hence the reason I have steered well clear of previous suggestions including chipping in to pay for the driver's £15, letting them go free etc.
It's pretty black and white and the way I have done it we are in the clear.
As far as Hereford goes, I have checked things out with some Bulls fans about how to avoid any trouble spots and the best boozers outside the city that accept away fans. I will also do as we did for City last season and liaise with the club so we can park close to the ground and take advantage of any security/policing that the away coaches will get.
Don't worry mate. Come along this time perhaps?
