What would be brilliant but I'd need to look at the costs involved would be a coach that could be used by disabled and non disabled supporters. It would be great for the long runs like Celtic and Harlequin's and even some of the Clubs that don't have a lot of parking like Wakefield.

The problem though is the cost and it would be no good if it worked out more for the usual fans who travel on the Coach but if it didn't there would be a good take up.

Andrea...remember that trip to Cardiff you laid on, when the bus company thought Cardiff was in North Wales...?

That was a one-off. They ended up making a decent amount anyway by way of tips. They said they would be happy to have us book with them again.

I did run a few trips which were short on numbers and it ended up costing me. People seem to think they can change their minds whenever and that it doesn't matter about the spare seat on the bus.

I think the club expect to make a small loss on the most of the busses and hope that they make up enough on the big trips and the finals trips (not so many of those recently but remember wembley 1997?) to make up for it.

Good to know he got back to you, if we had had a space in the Car we would have offered you a lift

You could be on to something there.

Car sharing for every away game, people put themselves and their car up and the empty spaces in that car are filled by people on here that can't get there (for petrol money in return!)

As you say its a pretty good option and one we've done a couple of times already, its also the fans themselves helping other fans rather than the Club having to spend money on Coaches that are only half full and there are been a few of those this year that we've seen.

Ooh the possible permutations there....

Can anybody tell me how much the coach to Twickenham will be and when I can book it? I've had no reply from the club yet.

I've got at least one spare seat for the Quins game. Happy to take someone along with us . . . . .

Anyone down this neck of the woods on hols and fancy a day out in the smoke?

It's just yet again another small thing that the Bulls fail to engage with their fans on.
Car sharing opportunities could be advertised on the web site. OK I know there are contractual problems but there must be a way around this with suitable disclaimers.
