Brett, you're starting to sound a tad desparate about going to Hartlepool on a Tuesday evening. Are you well?

It was £39 on the Supporters Coach for the League game, surely they can make it at least half that price, if not free.
Oh make the coach the type with the tables and lamps with lush velvet curtains please Dick

Much as I thoroughly enjoyed the only trip I have ever made to watch the Albion play at Hartlepool, I won't be going to the replay.
The reason? I have a job and can't afford to take the time off work - and that's not for financial reasons, it's because I have important things to do at work next week.
As for the cost of "free" travel ... the organisation I work for would probably be looking for something like £55 - £60 a seat for a return trip to Hartlepool - but we run minibuses, not coaches. A coach should be cheaper.
And that would be on the assumption that we could find the drivers. Which we can't.

Have NSC'ers ever considered hiring out a coach between them?
We did it for Crewe and it worked out pretty well.

was it full ? how much did it all cost? in the goldstone days we used to hire the odd southdown green bus from the eclipse or the pub at the bottom of sackville road which the name of evades me now. Used to be really good days out at a reasonable cost,makes sense to hire a coach rather than to go via train though it takes longer financialy there is no contest.

It's all about living the DREAM, and 1300 in 4 days is the dream, and one that will happen, but it would be nice if it was a bit cheaper
So you are going to Carlisle after all? If so and you're flying then the lifts offer is still on the table (there's room for 2) - otherwise we'll see you there.

If the coach picked up from Haywards Heath then 100% yes.
I would find it near impossible to get picked up from the A23 at 4am.
Even if the coach was subsidised and picked up from HH, I would go.

Assuming that the supporters club do not run the coaches to make a profit and the coach holds 53 seats the income from/cost of the coach would be £2067 that again is assuming that everybody paid and also paid a full fare, which they probably didnt.
The gate receipts from 53 people @£15 each would be £795 assuming that we get 45% as per the first game our share would be £357.75 does that answer the question with a loss or subsidy of £1500 per coach why should the club wish to do that.

Return cost us £18 each but we booked it in September - I'll check in a minute and then PM you.

Why should they apologise for charging the rate that is needed to cover the costs of staging a game etc. I think that it would be a marvellous idea but one with no logic and I am sure the club wouldnt even consider it, .
They may have done had it been a London game like Brentford where the cost of the coach would not have been so much.

If the PLAYERS paid for it after they MONUMENTALLY f***ed up on Saturday.
HAWKINS should of course bear the brunt of the cost. But the rest should chip in.
Maybe they wont be such FUCKTARDS again.
