Sorry to ask Ian & also apologies to the Supporters Club committee (and not trying to split hairs I promise) but question from a club viewpoint that I feel should be made in the public arena - if you are still getting enquiries from supporters and seeing there is a rail strike on Saturday have you thought about enquiring about the possibility of another smaller coach if you do not have the numbers for a full-size one? We know that we have a couple of coach drivers/coach operators within our supporters base - could one of our supporters possibly help out with supplying a coach if the supporters club can get numbers but the normal company unable to supply an additional coach and able to liaise with Ian?

Morning Rob. I have posted that there is a rail strike on this Saturday a couple of weeks back. I can only run one coach as there are personel issues trying to run two. Our coach company only run 53 seaters and the cost to hire another would be uneconomical to the supporters club.

To reiterate what Ian has said,the Supporters Club will to adhere to sound business practice of not running coaches, which will most likely prove uneconomic to run.

Just to put an idea out moving forward.
I do know some lads who have arranged a minibus for around 10 or so folks. Perhaps an idea moving forward would be for you to also work as a hub for such alternative separate arrangements. If you are turning away significant numbers, perhaps these folks can combine and make alternative arrangements (perhaps a separate thread on this forum could be dedicated?). It could work as a good alternative for when the fans coach is full up. Those who are unable to get the coach place could be advised to visit the thread and see if there are options for them there? Just thought this was worth putting out there.

Pas.further to your post. We can only put your suggestion to the committee. Saturday is an exception. Most coaches have been low in numbers. I.e.members not booking, or booking, then cancelling. We are looking at ways to sort out this problem.

With reference to running a second coach, in an ideal world, we would love to run a second coach, however, for the sake of our travellers, we would rather have one full coach than one and a quarter full coach in which the Supporters on board would have to cover the costs. You have to remember that we are not subsidised by the club and we, the Supporters Club Committee, can only subsidise the coaches from any extra made from other away journeys. We try to get people to games over profit. Maybe those who make their own way there, whether by car or minibus, support the coach and maybe then we will have 2! More importantly, get well soon Ian and I really appreciate the effort you and John put in so we can go to away games.
