    in the same way that there's a sticky about Wembley tickets, start a car sharing scheme for that day?
    Anyone willing to drive could say so and/or anyone wanting to car share could ask.
    As a very rough guide, say 180 miles to London, return 360. At approx 40 miles per gallon = 9 gallons, at 5 quid a gallon = 45 quid, divided by 4 = 11 quid or by 5 = 9 quid each.
    Even at 30 mpg = 12 galls = 60 quid, with 4 in = 15 quid, with 5 = 12 quid each.
    I'm cringing at the thought of the coach fare.
    Isn't there anything we can do amongst ourselves??????

    How About An Official BBS Coach?

    60 or so people splitting cost equally, it should work out pretty cheap and can set off when you want.

    If anyone has any room in their car, they can always advertise that in the ticket forum

    I'm sure someone would be eternally grateful

    You can use the www.carbonfootyprint.com website to organize your car shares.

    There's suppose to be a free coach, but at the moment its not been listed.

    Doesn't matter where the coach comes from. That is dirt cheap at under 20 quid per person (should it be full).
