Can we fill a coach with paying fans?
« on: April 20, 2010, 04:22:14 PM »
I am going to have a look into how much it will cost to hire a coach for fans who can not get a seat on the free coaches.....this will come at a cost and is not guantee that we can get one but i decided to take the bull by the horns and see if we can sort something out so we don't leave anyone behind....if you would be intrested in the possiblity of paying for a seat then please leave a message

When I used to run coaches to major United away fixtures I used the coach firm at Wrangle. They where always the cheapest.  Dickenson or Dickinson I can't remember :-\

The fans on our coach behaved themselves, it was the notorious Axe and Cleaver lot.  But yes I seem to remember lots of fights ;)

 Can we fill a coach with paying fans?
 Yes. Turn up at Boston bus station. If anyone asks it's a mystery tour, I'm sure you'd fill it mate.

Found a coach availble but the numbers that i have found it will just not be worth booking it.....if any one know's any one who want's to go and is willing to pay about £18-20 for a seat(at the minute that's what it is looking to cost with the numbers i have got(if not more). So if we want to get another coach we will have to boast the number's and fast i have untill midday on Friday to let the coach company no if i require the coach or not.

Well done PilgrimsOnTheUp.

I hope plenty of people are PMing you as this thread seems to have gone a little quiet.

i have had 7 people that say they will go and be happy to pay but with that many numbers and the best availble quote at £605 it is not a viable thing to do....if any one else can get it touch asap then it may start becoming a viable option
