Statto_1 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Anyone reckon the club could put free travel on for the trip to Chelsea in the Carling Cup. I think it would be an excellent move by the club if this was to happen. Anyone else agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted September 26, 2009 Site Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2009 I agree but, unfortunately, my agreement carries no clout with the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no balls Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I'm sorted thanks. I've just had the spacehopper serviced for the long trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest squidgy66 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) I agree but, unfortunately, my agreement carries no clout with the club. I've heard you are held in the highest regard by the ground staff Something about hose envy The coaches? They won't do it for a cup match. It's not financially viable. They did it last year to try helping secure points in the premiership and stay up. Edited September 26, 2009 by squidgy66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted September 26, 2009 Site Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2009 Eh NB's spacehopper has been away for a service. she didn't make it clear whether this was an Annual service or if it was a mileage based one. I was asking the question because I have concerns that a trip to London by spacehopper from that there t'horwich would surely cause her to get blisters on her hand if she was going wih standard orange plastic handles. Simples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simples! Never fear, I wear driving gloves & goggles! Safety first! Just an annual service, but I fell for the sales pitch & went and had go faster eyes on it.

Sweep Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Anyone reckon the club could put free travel on for the trip to Chelsea in the Carling Cup. I think it would be an excellent move by the club if this was to happen. Sadly a mid-week match in London probably isn't going to attract enought fans to fill a coach, irrespective of it's cost (as in free or not), so they probably won't do it. We will probably only have 300 fans there, of which over 200 will be from "exiles" who live in/around London. I would rather the club saved their money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm planning to be there. Does that count Ex-Mids texted me said his QPR mate only paid 20 quid for their round.

I'm riding my unicycle across Yorkshire to Goole, where I've got my pedalo moored. A quick trip down the coast and up the Thames and Robert's your mother's brother.

Guest Biff Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 The coaches? They won't do it for a cup match. It's not financially viable. They did it last year to try helping secure points in the premiership and stay up. Actually the first free travel game was to Arsenal in the FA Cup. I notice we play Chelsea at the Reebok in the league three days after the league cup game. Will we win both, one or none? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sit corrected I think we wrote off the home leagure game when the fixtures came out. I'd love to do them at the Bridge in the cup. Not sure what team they put out the other day against QPR but sort of fancy our chances if they field a weakened team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
