Smashing idea to provide free coaches for the Blackburn game. I wonder if this will only apply to coaches leaving the Brit?
I realize that it may cause a few problems for admin, but I wonder if those organizing coaches from outlying areas could provide proof that they will be filling coaches, and could maybe get us free transport as well i.e, give the club the bill and get a rebate for us who have actually paid?
This is not a gripe, just a suggestion.

truck. For some people it is NOT as convenient as for others to travlel to the Brit to catch a coach, when one is running locally. Why the sarcastic reply?
We do catch all match coaches as close to as possible, to ALL games, rather than holiday on the south car park, don't/wouldn't you?

Actually lancer thats not a bad point, but one i fear will not be allowed to happen. I for one am very impressed with the clubs suggestion of giving free travel to all stoke fans for the blackburn game. But i'll be travelling and paying on my usual coach from the red house pub that mick organises. The reason im paying to go is that mick surplies a fantastic service, in that he gets my tickets for me and all i have to do is turn up and get on the coach. Also i enjoy my 2 hour pub stop on the way of which you dont get with the official coaches.

Totally agree, mucka, I enjoy local travel, arranged by chewie. Like you, I love being able to walk into my local for a jar before the game, and long may it contimue. My post wasn't a complaint, chewie will be hopefully be arranging coaches long after the current club offer is gone.
If I read post wrong, trucker, I apologize

lancer i do apologise for having a sense of humour
muckakev i have had many a beer outside away grounds when using official coaches.
getting back to the coach thingy thou the club would proberly recieve a huge discount off the coach provders? if the club payed out to unauthorised coaches it would be wide open to abuse

truckerged, ref the abuse your probably correct mate. Im happy to pay for my travel. I go with my wife to all away games and we stop miles away from the ground for a meal and afew beers. That way we are well away from any potential trouble and free to relax and enjoy ourselves.
But its still a massive gesture from mr coates and a early xmas present for all who take him up on the offer.
