I have a friend coming up who travels to most of their away games and was going to be staying over with us for the weekend. Unfortunately, we have to go away this week so he has to stay in the New Beehive Inn in the city centre. With the cost of 2 nights b&b plus it is costing him £98 for the train, I will not have a go at anyone who is willing to pay that to watch a game. There is also the cost of the ticket and food/drink as well and could come to over £250 for the weekend, and a day off work on Monday. I am afraid that as much as I like my rugby, I would not pay that week in, week out. Good luck to anyone who does, they deserve it however many they bring , although I don't think too many travel with the official supporters coach.

nc is it 'we', 'they','us' or 'their'?

Seems to change from one post to the next with you.

If you don't know what I mean have a look at your past posts where you refer to Crusaders as we.

To answer the other question regarding numbers we won't bring many and no sheep, well no real ones anyway. Hopefully have a pint with a few off here after the game as looking to take in the reserve match before if it is on.

As has been said though it is a 4 hour trip each way without stops and the cost is obviously increased as it is further to travel.

If you choose to stop over then the price escalates. A lot of people seem to forget this and that we have to do it every other week.

Yeh and I still can't believe you use the sheep jokes.

Aw come on. We've had it for years from our friends in St Helens & Wigan most of who wouldn't recognise a sheep if they met one in a bar on a wet saturday night in Knowsley. In fact they'd probably think a beauty pagent had arrived in town.
