What would people prefer, an early start and having a couple of hours free time before kick off, or a more sensible departure time and just arriving for kick off?

For me personally, i'd like a couple of hours before the match for a beer, lookround etc.


In an ideal world I would like to arrive a bit before an away game too to sample the local culture, but this isnt a necessity.



Also I think the Routemaster is a great idea, though at this very moment in time I don't have £250 to contribute, I would love to get involved in some way, get the quins colous painted on it, and have a personalised number plate of Luk3 D0RN 8)

A QRL 'Routemaster' great idea from the promo/pr viewpoint but somewhat impractical otherwise.

1. Where would one 'park' the unit for the 349 days it's not used
2. It would need two drivers - both with full 'passenger' licences
3. Who would keep the unit in good repair

and as for going to Catalan away.......have never seen a full double decker on the ferry for starters.

I'm interested in away travel but let us keep it practial and in the 'real world'.......

Interesting to see what used coach's cost..... www.usedcoachsales.co.uk

Some right old 'bangers' but also some interesting units, like the 75 seater Neoplan 'Skyliner' .....it seems to have the lot. :)

Perhaps we need to find a London operator using such a unit.....would suggest one should be able to get 75 supporters. :?:

I'd be inclined to give it a miss after the Manly debacle.

Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 -
Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader.
Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward.
Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I?
Update on Quins Mogs :-
Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo.
Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas.
Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9.
Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.

Wouldn't travelling in a London bus be a wheeze?

We could all sing "Summer Holiday" as we go along. (you're not old enough to know that one, Sogs).

Count me in. 8)

Oh my Journo friend...you miss the point.
The PR alone would be worth the £7,500. That and the "summer" journeys up north would be a larf. It really would be a money spinner after year 1.....10 trips and it has paid for itself...

It sounds a great laugh in theory, but surely fuel and maintenance costs would amount to several grand a year every year on top of the initial price? As has already been mentioned, what are the safety issues regarding such vehicles on motorways? (Seatbelts for instance?) I'd think about contributing if it was a serious prospect.

coach travel : Sat Feb 28, 2009 8:13 pm  
Definitely up for away travel. At the risk of being dull suggest we try to create a committed hardcore before buying the route master but will happily contribute to such a project. We could ask the bloke who reads the news on Wogan to borrow / hire his for one game. Think of the publicity.
