Probably includes the fee for parking at the stadium etc and maybe a slightly better coach than usual. I'm sure Richard Cranium will give you a good reason why it's more.

Probably but if a coach is full of say 45 people do they need to charge 10 pound each extra which is 450 pound more for parking, I will be going of course and will pay whatever it take but it just seemed as bad as the booking fee ect to me when it was 10 pound less for further distances my opinion of course.

They are probably charging more as plenty of people will take that price who don't usually go. It will contribute to lowering prices net season, presumably, for members who also go with the travel club and funds towards the players the travel club sponsor too. It doesn't bother me.

I see that Coopers are running their own buses and charging £37, which I think is a disgrace.

I actually used the Coopers supporters bus for the 480 mile round trip to Eastleigh last Thursday and the price was £30 so how can they justify charging an extra £7 a head, for a round trip of only 360 miles.

We should be doing all we can to encourage as many fans to get there as possible, it's bad enough with See Tickets booking charges without local companies trying to make a quick buck!

A 49 seater coach at £37 per head would be over £1800 and I know that when I last looked into hiring a coach not that long ago the price was about half that!

That's exactly my point les. There charging more because they know people will be going but it is disappointing.

Wembley charge £65 for coaches (and Mini Buses) to park.


If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.
