Due to the fallout of James Travel being banned from taking football fans to matches, we have seats Ava on our coach to Luton.

This could probably be our last ever trip, as lots cancelled due to the draconian restrictions

Thick fingers, Ava, should read “available”

Not for me to point the finger at certain arseholes, who have spoilt a good day out, for everyone else

We’ve been affected by this as well, I trust the authorities are going to be clamping down right across the board ie race trips, Twickenham, Murrayfield excursions, skittles shoot out weekends etc. Another hit to the local economy. Train fares are bloody extortionate, pity they weren’t more reasonable, the authorities would soon be clamouring for us to revert to buses to games when faced with the situation of a few thousand fans arriving in dribs & drabs at city centre railway stations on a Saturday morning.

By the way, any chance there’s a Welsh choir bus trip to Stoke on the 22nd?:getscoat:

Honestly it’s pathetic.

Selective enforcement

Nightmare
The arseholes will be back to their Transit vans, just like the 70’s and 90’s

Massive step backwards

I'm reading between the lines here but guessing James Travel were caught with alcohol on the bus.

As Splott Parker says - I'm presuming ALL football clubs will have the same measures put in place or is it just our club being sanctioned.

Away support across the country will be slashed, and atmosphere in grounds will get even worse.

It’s not about alcohol on the coach !!!

It’s about arseholes turning up late, walking off a coach, thinking they’re “billy big bollocks”, giving it “THE CARDIFF”

Not about alcohol at all, it’s about arseholes who can’t obey simple instructions

So what changed then, are the police inspecting more coaches?

You tend to have really well behaved trips.

There are well monitored, self policed, well behaved trips but, dear God, the shape of some of our fans falling off the buses by the grounds are a sight to behold. But, and it’s a massive but, these lads will now be falling out of trains in city centre stations or transit vans en route. It’s nigh on impossible to stop the, shall we say, more highly spirited of our fans but surely they’re easier to police when they’re on a recognised bus getting off near the ground rather than roaming through strange town & city centres. That happened years ago and chaos ensued.

Or are the police looking forward to easy nicks and court cases to provide evidence that they’re really doing their jobs????

Isn't there a way around this? Like organizing day-trips to town center train stations?

Exactly. Its far easier to police when they come on coaches, you have a pretty decent ideas on the numbers, where they'll be and when, if this forces people away from buses and onto trains, cars, vans etc it'll be a nightmare to police

Started doing coaches in the 60’s, when I was in my teens. Group of us from St Illtyds used to organise um.

Graduated to doing the Supporters Club coaches during the 90’s, for about 10 years, been doing them on my own (not dismissing Peter & Beth), since 2002
