Yeovil Loud And Proud Away Day?

[yeo]

Can we get it to stop at Sherbourne as well so the hooligans can avoid the police escort?

 

[Spud]

This sounds ace, better start polishing my knuckle dusters and ironing my Stone Island gear.

Umm, there is a big snag they have just informed me of (which was one of my original fears), that NO ALCOHOL is allowed on the train.  This may reduce numbers wishing to take part a little, although it still allows us to get quite merry before and after the game.

I may wait for reaction to this before doing anything -we have until the end of the month to make a decision (and also pay a 10% deposit)

No police required, stewards needed but they can provide some at a little extra charge.

Thats me out then.  :evil:

[sonicyouth]

no alcohol sort of makes it pointless...

[Spud]

No Alcohol!?, what next a Train turning up on time?. :shock:

[yeo]

Sorry Rob its a no go I'll get the normal train.

The whole point of train travel as Ive said before is cracking a tinny at the train station as early as possible and then only stopping drinking for the game and  when you finally collapse on your bed in the early hours of the next day.

[McLovin]

Could we not just smuggle some on?

[Elsterap]

Since the train is yours (rented) you retain the rights of admission to the train...

- sell permission for a company to advertise or sell or give away samples on the train.
- distribute the Swindon Star on the train for a fee or distribute a national paper on the train (companies like the Daily Express like to do this)

How much will this bring in?  At the moment with the train being full to cover the cost of the train exactly the cost will be £21 each (9450 divided by 430, this is my own estimated figure nothing to do with the capaign) but thats if we get 430 people which is unlikely.

Also, does the 9450 include cost of driver?

Exactly. Buffet cart and all! Who needs a seat when you can stand?!

[RobertT]

You all echo my thoughts, gutted.

Might revert to plan B, which was to hire a convoy of mini buses, for much less money, charge next to nothing and give free cans of beer in the deal.

Anyone with me on this one? (£70ish for a days hire self drive, so just need 1 person to drive and 16 people to drink)

[DiV]

I can get a mini bus for a small donation to a charity.

Although it does have swindon beavers disabled group written on the side in big letters....but it has on orange badge so we can park anywhere!

Just need a driver, dunno how many it seats though off the top of my head....

[McLovin]

Ace!  We can park right up close in Tesco's!

[STFC Village]

swindon beavers disabled group

I think that sums up the majority of us perfectly....

[sonicyouth]

what about hiring a double decker bus or something
