Going around in circles because you still won’t answer me.
Do you believe me when I tell you the Burnley trip is £950 ??
As for the others, I don’t keep records of them all, but Southampton and Wolves were the cheapest at £760, Newcastle the most expensive at about £1200 and most end up around £850-£980 with the London trips all costing £200 more than they should due to the Low Emission Zone. Luckily no bridge now, which used to add on, although a lot of clubs charge for parking.
The drivers ‘tip’ thing is completely up front with the passengers. Personally I don’t think they should have a choice in whether he gets a tip or not. It’s a very hard job and they don’t get a massive pay and put up with a lot. Anyone who thinks that is wrong has the choice of not coming.
I also NEVER have a complaint about the cost as everyone thinks it’s fair and in general we compare well with CCSC especially as there is no membership fee etc...
Going around with a hat to sleeping and drunk people is not something I want to do and to be honest normally on the way home I just want a bit of peace.
I also see what other clubs charge, and the ice hockey and they seem expensive compared to us.
Maybe that is why CCFC have a higher % of their fans going by coach than any other club.
It really does seem like you’ve got a chip on your shoulder about this, but I can certainly say with confidence from my personal experience that you have got it very wrong if you think we make any significant money out of this.
The other thing that hits me is where I get tickets for fans who don’t turn up- and then never hear from them again.
It happens a lot - and I can’t get a refund.
Or people who can only pay on the day and don’t turn up.
I’ve stopped taking them.
Finally- I Can’t believe you rang Tony’s house because he’s not agreed with what you are saying on here. That’s low.
