    Well that's 8 quid more than the most expensive i've seen so far and 3 pound more than my train ticket (where i can walk up and down at my leisure, have a beverage or two and get to london in just over an hour an half from donny)

    Most expensive transport I have ever seen Barnsley official coaches. I stopped using them.

    I have booked a hotel at Wembley with Parking and breakfast For me, wife and 2 kids and will drive down. Cheaper than the 4 of us on BFC coaches.

    I recently enquired about a 52 seater bus to Portsmouth to watch Fev lions who had drawn the Navy in the cup, Many companies quoted between £750 and £800 for a decent bus with toilet etc. BFC would get this cheaper booking many buses, Why do they rip of the fans with coach travel

    I think its about £700 to hire a bus to London, 47 seater with a bog on, so that's just under £15 a man to break even, so club are charging 38 which adds upto £1786 so their making £1000 profit per bus,

    We've got a 17 seater mini bus that works out at about £30 per head for two days.

    Bargain. Good ol Roy.

    If you go on the club coaches you must be insane.

    I'm all about supporting the club, but you are gonna have the most expensive & worst experience.

    I know it is a bit boring but as a young lass travelling by myself I appreciate the safety the club coach offers me. I don't want to stop off at a pub as I'm not a drinker and the less stops the better as I can't accidentally get myself lost or left behind.

    Course they are, they're a business. Do you add up the cost of ingredients when you go out for a meal too?

    You've been allowed out on the piss for two consecutive days?

    You'll be still on your sofa week after feeling sorry for yourself.

    I thought that was what was going to make it wilder than we can imagine (what with the inclusion of his mate too)!
