[Albion] Minibus to Wolves

[Stumpy Tim]

A few of us have booked a minibus to the Wolves game... it's £1,000 for a return journey for 16 people. We currently have 8-10 people, but if anyone has a group of 4 or so interested send me a PM. We'll be leaving from Hove at 8.30am and doing a pick-up at Cobham Services.

As a demographic, we're all in our 40's and the driver allows drinking, which we will be doing.

16 in a mini van , not all known to each other , drinking on a long journey. what could go wrong ! I would have thought for a little more you could have hired a luxury coach with deep pile leather seats and lots more room . Maybe I’m out of touch with hiring costs.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Shall I put that down as a maybe?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Have space for 2 more now

Is this your annual "get a corporate box at a shithole" trip?

What’s ‘deep pile leather’ ?

Certainly is!

I just had a look to see if prices for this were readily available (and then gave up immediately), but did come across this intriguing line:

"The luxury coach fleet has panoramic windows, tables, fridge with bottled water and on board entertainment facilities including a DVD player and on board toilet."

What the hell goes on in that toilet?

Over 40’s drinking it will be stopping every five minutes for someone to take. a piss.

With 16 people crammed into that minibus, it sounds like it's a box that they are travelling in.

If my experience of coach toilets are anything to go by, the less time you spend in them the better.

It is illegal to drink alcohol on the way to a football match even taking unopened bottles for the journey home. If stopped, you would be forced to turn round and tickets confiscated.

I've no doubt you will get away with it, but as a precaution hide any colours and if stopped say you're on a stag do. It is illegal and if a copper wants to be awkward then he will be. Just be carefull. Same when arriving at the ground, hide the booze.

….and a fine up to £2,500

That's right, and yet you can sit on a train and drink yourself into oblivion whilst on the way to a football match.

The law makers (possibly at the time of the Taylor Report?) thought that one through well didn't they

As someone once said ...'There are no rules, rules are for fools'.

We actually have one person coming from Sevenoaks. He's getting a lift to Cobham Services first. PM me if you're interested
