Well done, now get a quote for a bus without Pencoed’s restrictions and you’ll find its nearer £950-£1000

Plus tips for driver etc...


By the way- your maths are using incorrect assumptions..


We don’t charge £30. We charge £25 for adults and less for kids ( £15 if with parent, £20 if not)

My coaches are 50/50 adult and youngsters - except Sheffield last year which was 25 kids and 5 adults and at the time £15 for all kids.

Having so many youngsters on poses it’s own problems too.


Over the years I’ve averaged 30-35 passengers per trip - more this season in fairness

Most seasons I break even, a few I’ve lost a few hundred and I pay for my own ticket and travel.

One season we did well and those who’d been regularly had a free trip to Palace

I have a good job and don’t need to make money off fellow fans. Ask anyone who knows me. Thanks

Midlands and Southampton are cheaper, but that’s only 2 trips.

There’s a lot of London clubs ( DLZ charge), and Northern ones - these all work out similar to Burnley.

Not joking- I’m happy to pass on the 300 numbers I’ve got to you if you want to do it.
