Pub coaches vs Official coaches

Officials all the way for me. No riff-raff, nice relaxed civilized atmosphere and much better coaches. Sets off at decent times and takes you straight to the ground. Usually only stops on the journey if the driver is running out of his legal driving hours. Lovely couple who take peoples names. Most people get on half an hour before so there is no scrum for seats together. Occasionally they will send a posh players coach with T.Vs, tables etc.


I guess it is all down to personal taste. Personally I would rather not set off at stupid o'clock to get so hammered that I won't remember anything from the game. I would rather not sit on some dirty old banger bus and I have nothing against pissheads but I certainly would rather not spend hours on a coach with them.

 

Trust me, it's the only way I cope.

 

Hats off to the people of the official coach that went down to Coventry. I am sure that is standard but not being a regular I was impressed.

 

Boring tho eh?

 

Pub coaches every day of the week, non stop laughs all the way down

 

Is this a serious thread?

 

I'd rather go on a skateboard than go with the official coaches....you can't breath, swear, fart, drink, laugh or even talk!! Surely getting to your destination 148 hours before kick off is the norm..........isn't it???

 

It is impossible to watch Barnsley sober now-a-days. Delete this pointless thread.

Can't get on with club coaches anymore, cost loads more in comparison and being 6 foot 2 I find most of the time that the leg room on them is shocking! Oh and of course....no beer!

 

There is no rule you have to drink copious amounts of alcohol on supporters coach trips. At drop off have a walk round the place or have a cuppa. Never bother and always a laugh. Up to half price of official coaches and actually a day out rather than a direct bus to a stadium and Oakwell.

 

Pub coaches all the way. I travelled on the official ones when I was 12-17 years old, including running a few buses for them when we had a large away support during the 90's, they sometimes set off so late we got there after kick off. Nothing worse than a long Southend/Plymouth trip to be dropped outside the turnstile after hours on a bus, watch 1 and a half hours game of football and get straight back on the coach and go home, seeing nothing of the city/town you're in.

 

Is this a wind up

Different folks for different strokes.

Must agree the pricing of the Official coaches are steep IMO, was told that part of the cash goes towards the junior reds matchday thing.

 

Bus ****ers.

Get on train.

 

I've only been on an official coach and that was only the once. It was quite boring but I'm quite a quiet person and I don't think I'd like a pub coach; it would probably depend what mood I was in. Official coaches are too expensive though.

 

How much were pub coaches charging for Wigan today, because anyone paying 21 quid for a short official coach journey had their pants down.

 

I've done a lot of both over the years. It depends what mood I'm in. It's good to have a choice.

 

Does this forum just put posts where it wants? My first post was supposed to be a reply to the original post.

 

I was planning on going until I saw that. There's not much advantage to the ticket being a fiver if the travel is over 20 quid anyway.

 

I thought you didn't do away games?
