Message For People Travelling to Crystal Palace on SAS Travel

Due to the high number of people travelling on Saturday, we have a few requests which will make the day easier for us all.

1.   Please arrive in plenty of time. We will be leaving at 10.30am and there are over 500 people to get boarded before we go.

2.   On arrival, please head for Marc (who will be standing in the corner of the car park nearest to The County Ground Hotel), who will have a list of all travellers and will tell you which coach to get on.

3.   Please sit in the allocated seats as advised by the coach steward. This will save any arguments over who sits where.

4.   Please head straight back to the coach after the match as the Police will want us away as soon as possible.

Many Thanks and have a great day.

SAS Travel.

we're taking 9-10 coaches??

fucking hell  :mrgreen:

Imagine the convoy of Barnes coaches down the M4  :D

Bollocks! i want to go but i don't fancy walking.  :?

Make me an offer and I could drive down :mrgreen:

reminds me of QPR away in our play-off season

was quality

WOW! Can't wait for this game now. Even if we are poor and go out miserably the support should be great.

COME ON YOU REDS!

The last time we had this many coaches was the Leeds away game. The highs and lows of that day.

Bloody Robinson!  :x

Ive got a Gimp outfit.  :wink:

Anyone remember the 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford back in errrrrrrrm 95/96? there was a stupid amount of coaches that night, it was ace passing them all on the way down to Manchester.

Yep. That was brilliant

Except it took bloody ages to get there.  And bloody Paul Scholes :(

My dad's mate organised it so we could park our car in some Lorry place, we got a lift from there but had to get out the car and walk a couple of miles to the ground cos the traffic was so bad.

I think Peter Thorne was our scorer that night?

yeah peter thorne scored, I was on a bus and put a cup of tea on the roof through the window thing went round a roundabout and it hit a copper, loved it (I was about 15)

great day out

That Hoolie nature has been with you from the start then?  :D

i wanna come, what do i have to do?

this coach malarky is new to me.

many spaces left on the coach?

about 0 I believe

Im no hoolie! if anything im a plastic observer! :)

The only reason I enjoyed it was I walked out of teh ground threw some ticker tac (sp) in air and a copper with a police dog made me pick it up.  I think my hatred of man utd stems back to this moment

Ticker Tape :shock:  Happy Clapper :wink:

I hired a coach out for that game and manged to sell all the seats.  Bastard coach company turned up late though and we barely managed to get everyone into the ground in time (I got to my seat at kick off).  Made a few quid on the ham rolls mind.

fucking happy clapper, I hadnt even get my fingers smelling of fish at that age!

Can you make me som ham rolls?

my mum drove up to that one. Got to OT about 3pm.
Went round the museum they have inside the stand which was quite impressive.

was a fantastic day out. at least we had a goal to cheer :beers:

What also topped it off was the fact we had to buy tickets to two other home games. We chose Man City & Huddersfield/Hertlepool (from memory.
beat Man City 2.0 (with Horlock missing a pen too) and beat H 6.0
all in all a winner

The six nil was 'uddersfield. I remeber thinking that we were on for a stone cast 0-0 then we score 4 before half time - Peter Thorne scored a few I think.

50p a roll and I'll make you plenty.

I can sense a balloon incident in your youth as well maybe?  a few red and white ones at Wembley :wink:

It was a nasty day, my mum got pissed! I will never hold a balloon again

coach number 9 was pleasant enough yesterday apart form the kid half way back who would not shut the fuck up all the way there. he was at that age where everything he thinks he says.

like when we passed the old airport and he says "look that airplane is on crutches" and "that must have been in world war 8"

Try listening to that for 3 and a half bloody hours

Coach 5 went on a fucking mystery tour to get there and then decided to go back on the M3?

To kids in front of me were irritating little shits as well.................

Fucking tell me about it, I was virtually sat opposite him...then he started to try and talk to me. I was so close to turning about and twatting him one, not sure "Gordon" (presumably his dad) would have appreciated it though. Thankfully they fell asleep on the way home.

On coach 2. Two lads had their larger taken away from them. That was why there was a delay leaving the ground.  They manage to drink it on the way without getting noticed.
