Motorway Services. Are they suggesting both sets of fans use different ones ?

    Watford Gap and Newport Pagnell probably
    I can see big trouble if they don’t keep them apart.

    Nope, they have already said they can't due to drivers hours. Leaving it to the driver's and companies to manage

    If the bus has toilets on then no need to stop.. it's only 3 hours. Even if the coach as come a fair way to get to Barnsley to pick up they can still take a forty-five while loading

    It would be great to show that south Yorkshire folk can have their day out without any trouble. If I was going by coach I would hope they'd stop on route!

    I’d expect a bit of common sense and communication between the major coaching companies/clubs, it won’t be perfect but if the majority of coaches all stop at the same one the queue for the bogs will be epic

    Err...bank holiday Monday?? Can see the roads being packed. No rail strikes but lots of engineering works going on over the Holiday weekend as usual too. 3 hours journeytime on a coach with pickup points sounds highly optimistic. When you get off the coach at the final destination you still have to find yourself queuing for a loo alongside everyone else who has just arrived.

    It would be great. Sadly I know for a fact that we have too many idiots that can't behave and I have no doubt the same applies for Wednesday. There will end up being trouble somewhere, whether it's services (before or after the match), in the pubs/fanzones or from the poor segregation.

    If the coach does Barnsley to getting out at Wembley in 3 hours on Bank holiday Monday with a crowd well over 60000 I will be amazed
    in a car reaching the exit off the A40 in 3 hours would be better than you could hope but if you get a good run it might be just possible but from there to the ground will be painfully slow a coach with no stops in 4 hours would be an excellent result

    No there won't be any trouble. The EFL are so convinced they are putting both sets of fans together, numpties
