It will take the GMP a while to stop all the coaches on the M6 to write out 7,000 individual Section 27 notices as the coaches pass through the GMP area! ;D

stokelad2007, If you read it again, Mr Fornside was saying as they were passing through the GMP area. It was quite funny actually.

Perhaps they could all pop into the railway on the way home..send the coaches on their way , and await the arrival of a further 140 coaches supplied and paid for by the GMP of course

Never one to miss an opportunity, do you think Mr Coates may of asked Blackburn to pay for the coaches ?
Without the coach offer, how many would of gone 3,500 / 4,000 ?
The difference in that extra turnout to Blackburn could be in the region £80,000+ gate receipts plus extra revenue at the stadium.
I wouldn't put it past him.

There was a 100+ easy that night as well, I'd never seen anything like it, coaches as far as the eye could see in both directions decked in red and white. And fair play to Coatesy you never cease to amaze me, in this case a leopard seems to have changed his spots.

6,500 highbury?? Remember there been a load of coaches and filling the clock end There was 35 official coaches middo, then some from the pubs etc. There will be lots more this time. I can't see as many driving to blackburn, as the coaches are free. People will go for the option because its cheap and means they can have a drink.

That Man Utd game had by far the most coaches I've seen with Stoke. The worst coach convoy I ever saw was coming back from watching Stoke at Huddersfield, late 80's early 90's and Leeds were on the way back from Old Trafford on the M62. Windows had all gone, bodies hanging out of em, stuff getting lobbed out and there must've been close to 80 of em. Nasty bunch and very dirty!!

well I'm not driving down the M6 to get a free coach, unless they are doing a stop at the "let's eat" truck stop cafe on the A49, which I think they should do Typical Scholes, can't organise a piss up in a brewery

As much as I don't want the club to lose money, I hope thousands of us take the club up on this tremendous offer as a way of saying thank-you to the club for the gesture and also as a sign of our support.
Re-mix version- "We'll be with you, every step along the way (especially when there are free coaches)"

Shall be at this one myself- not been on line for a while but take it obviously free coach travel. Nice gesture.
Should be a lovely warm day as well
