Never saw buck and dusty - heartbroken.

would try and do all three, fave would warrington or wakefield.

I am from Hull and would normally drive up and see family etc ect

I, and probably my brother too, would definitely book onto Wakefield and Warrington coaches (this time I will set two alarms so that one of them has to wake me up).
Hull KR I will make my own way up if I can make it.

What would you mean by an "East London" Drop off point, as us Easterners come from many different places, can I suggest it be near a train station if possible, otherwise I may as well just go to Twickenham.

Like the idea though, well done gutterfax for researching all of this.

I'd be up for another trip on the gutterfax express! The Warrington game looks best for me at the moment (assuming we are talking Sep 13th?)

Sounds like Gutters did a good job with the coach (maybe should get money up front though, as not fair if Gutters is out of pocket).

We've already got our train tix for Hull KR or would have joined the festivities.

Warrington could be a goer for us though.

Top geezer Gutterfax.

Well done. Keep it up.

That would be funny........considering that as I hurtle towards my 44th birthday I still have never driven a car.
It would be like Alton Towers and Rugby League all rolled into one!

......fine arrangements down to Bridgend & congrats to 'Gutterfax' but sad to see the 'prices' creeping up from £15 to £20.......could it be that he got the idea of the 'uplift' from the poster down in the Celtic bar - they charge £30 for their bus up North

Also what about a pick-up/drop-off point in Hammersmith for those of us from Fulham, Chiswick and around NW & W postcodes.......excellent 'nite' bus services from there as well.

Still count me in for Warrington and while on the subject what about the Grand Final.....the sooner the better so as to ensure decent ticket location availability.

Prices haven't crept up.......£15 was for 187 miles, the other journeys are for a bit further. HTH. Also, I have made the decision to up the exact quoted fare to ensure 3 things.
Firstly, I don't get toasted as I paid £840 notes for the coach before I had received it......and it also covers the potential £50 surcharge for picking up fans in East London.....Oh...and it covered the Toll to Wales....
Secondly, some of the excess (if any) goes toward paying for Buck and Dusty as it is good to see them run out at other grounds and they were well appreciated by both sets of fans on Monday.
Lastly, any money left over goes to the development fund.
I appreciate that there is a credit crunch at present, but let's face it £20, up from £16.66 (if the coach is 100% full) is hardly going to break the bank. As it is, 60 fans covers the cost of a 72 seater.
If anyone thinks (or wants to take over) they can do this better, please be my guest.
SB....there's a fair bit more to this than getting a quote from a coach company

You do an outstanding job. Thank you.
