Id go to everyone if a coach was put on, even if it was just to support it and keep it running for those that had to rely on it.

Here's an idea for next season. The club makes an away travel season ticket. You pay X for the entire season and this funds the coach. If you don't go, you don't go but the coach is still paid for.

Curtism's idea is fine but realistically, how many people would part with £250 up-front, for away travel?

I reckon it would be good to target 2 or 3 games (ones which are difficult/expensive by train) and there's a few of us Sidcupians that would go (not Bridgend though. Already got our train tix!).

Shame coach travel is so blimmin expensive. Maybe we should club together and buy our own!

PS- Nice to see our boy's on the posh Quins Etihad coach. Surprised they thought it safe to take it to Cas!

I would

Tried to get the club to speak with other teams to let us in on the cheap if we did this.

Ok ... greedy coach company wanting firm comitment then offering a £800
one-off's.

Regret to say think you need to do more work before you get firm comitments from me.

1. Only Saturday, Sunday & B/H games.
2. Firm price and booking 14 W/days in advance
3. Sorting out of pick-up & drop points plus routing i.e. trip starts at The Stoop not in north London etc before The Stoop to M25.

How many quotes did you get as I've been given 'quick' quote of £650 for a 46 seater with loo/tv and hotwater 'bring your own coffee/tea/sugar.

I know we have been here before, but they are still an option. Since I first muted the idea, they have become rare, but they are available.
If there are 30 hard core away fans, then £250/£300 each should do it. Even though as wire has pointed out I am a part time fan at home, I will immediately throw £250 into the hat. 29 more and we own a bus!
What better way (apart from a fleet of 4 black cabs) to turn up at an away ground (Catalans would be worth the £250 on its own) than in an iconic london red double decker bus?
