bus companies for away games

tunstallhill · 21st September 2011, 12:57 PM

Anyone know any coach companies that do footy games? Rang about 15 if the fuckers and none of them will do away games. 1 of them would do it but they wanted 700 quid up front. How the fuck do people manage to organise things like this. Got my fucking head battered

Try Bulldog, used them a few years ago to go to Scunthorpe and they were spot on. Driver was brilliant and kept stopping wen we needed loo!

Have used the coach hire firms that shop around for you, have had canny prices from them before, let them do the running for you

It is a nightmare to get any bus companies to do football games.I organise away buses from brandon.We had to hire mini-buses and pay a driver.
As soon as you mention it is for football they dont want to know.

Fucking tell me about it. Rang 24 local companies today. 3 said yes, 2 wanted all the money up front. Fucking nightmare . No drink !! There fucking crackers. To be fair though, its just another nail in the coffin for the average footy fan .

Is there any decent busses that go from sunderland? Not jarrow shields or boldon. Someone in sunderland who let you drink and have a laugh ?

Back in the day some lads we knew from Spenny bought a bus out of a scrap yard for £15.
Went to a fair few away games on it. One of the lads who bought it drove it.
It had the old style tables in so you faced each other and could play cards.

Probably struggle to buy one now for £15 like.

stick the details into one of them agents sites, as some coach companies who do holidays look for business during the said period just for cash flow, for instance a long weekend in Northumberland they look for work for a day trip just like you are looking for

Which game are you looking to hire for? I might be able to help if you drop me a PM. Give me a quick list of who you have tried. The ones asking for wedge up front will be doing so because you're a new one to them. You might have to bite the bullet until they know and trust you.

Rarer than rocking horse shit now the bus companies that let you have a beer - but ....
