    Warning with Veezu. They quote a price and your bank shows probably a larger cost until it comes out.

    Is the quoted price usually about right? I did a mock quote for Christmas day and it came up the same price as any other day, which was a bit odd I thought.

    Mid to late 90's. I got my first season ticket in 95 and the first thing that popped into my head when seeing the thread was "Your A1 Ace Taxis Man of the Match is ....."

    It's hit and miss, especially around dearne area. You can get them occasionally, but more often than not it cycles around for ages "searching" for an available driver.

    Don't depend on it anyway is my advice

    They funded the match ball and MOTM for years but then the Club changed to a different company every match and hiked up the price

    Chansiri's Invisible Taxis are useful if you want to travel in secret.

    That's a shame. Their taxis were a lot bigger than anyone elses.

    I felt my way around one. Luckily I have massive hands, otherwise it would have taken me all week.
