LaticsLee Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Perhaps the club should subsidise it for you at their cost? What do you want to pay £5? £10? My point is they only charge an extra £5 to get to Plymouth !!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 My point is they only charge an extra £5 to get to Plymouth !!!!!! They should have charged you more to get to Plymouth. Hopefully your conscience will kick in and you will take an extra £15 to the club this afternoon to make up for your underpayment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The last time I got an official coach they used to issue the tickets for it out of a pink book at the clubshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancy lad Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 My point is they only charge an extra £5 to get to Plymouth !!!!!! Which in fairness is a fantastic price. They must still have a minimum charge to get the coach out in the first place though whether its local, midlands or darn sarf..................... hence why £20 for Warsaw aint that bad!

ghostofcecere Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The last time I got an official coach they used to issue the tickets for it out of a pink book at the clubshop. Me too, and it was only £5 to the Midlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a awesome price , so why charge nearly the same amount for a trip which is about 200 mile shorter ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza699 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 It is a awesome price , so why charge nearly the same amount for a trip which is about 200 mile shorter ?? maybe because they realised they undercharged for Plymouth and lost abit of money ?

Like I said there must be a minimum price regardless of distance. What is the price for Huddersfield? £10 or £12 I would guess at????? The Huddersfield trip is less than 10 times shorter than Plymouth but they aint going to charge you £2.50 are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Tuesday night, end of January when everyone is skint. I doubt many more than 25 people will be on the coach next Tuesday night yet it'll cost around £500-£550 to hire it. Latics will not make a profit on this one.

HarryBosch Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Just a simple fact that it's a total rip off no wonder no one goes on them and lags I am looking for a car i know someone who's selling one with a really big boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I know someone who is selling a car. Blue one! Big boot too, can put stuff in it and that! Want it? Ey? Want it? small minds think alike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Yes it cost less to get to wallsall but if they don't get bums on seats, the overall cost per ticket rises. As most people don't fancy driving to Plymouth there and back, I would imagine that there would be more people than on the Walsall coach which is one of the easier grounds to get to by car.

rudemedic Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 1.) According to the AA its 88.5 miles from BP to Walsall's ground, that's a round trip of 177 miles. If you can do that for less than £20 in petrol I'd be impressed (not to mention running costs etc.) 2.) As its a Tuesday night the coach is going to struggle to get back to BP by 23:30 (maybe its extra after 11pm). Incidentally I got the train back to Picadilly a few years ago from Bescot, even with my Young person's discount it was getting near £40 IIRC (pay on the day and only 1 way). £20 on a coach which probably isn't going to be full is good value. Interestingly, for a return from Manchester the cheapest fare is £31.10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can do that for less than £20 in petrol I'd be impressed (not to mention running costs etc.) The Inland Revenue state the cost of running an average car to be 40p per mile, though it's probably time that was reviewed. I'm staggered that you didn't look this up and inform the board (in brackets). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) i know someone who's selling one with a really big boot As his company car turned up today he may accept lower offers too!

singe Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 As his company car turned up today he may accept lower offers too! Talking of cars, we are looking to upgrade from our Focus (sorry o4u!) as we have a little 'un who is getting bigger. I think it boils down Mazda 5, Honda CRV or FRV (not sure as discontinued) Zafira. At a push Scenic, but it's Renault nuff said. I like the look of C MAx and S max but they seema b it pricey, Ideally able to go to 7 seats if poss or boot. Mrs Singe does not want the car too wide as Kent seems to have half width car parking these days, we have a few dents. Anyone any experience of these? Or alternatives? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm staggered that you didn't look this up and inform the board (in brackets). The AA actually have car running cost tables on their site. It all depends on purchase cost, fuel consumption and annual mileage if you want a cost per mile. The Revenue rate has been the same since about 2001!

Cheers We've got a Renault Megane Scenic Grande - pretty pants, crap fuel consumption and forever having issues with it. Technology is a wonderful thing but a reet pain in the arse sometimes. Wouldn't have another one given to us….(boot is massive) extra two seats in it are suitable for very small kids or the token Oompa Loompas in the family. Hand Brake is a silly switch that comes on automatically and goes off automatically. Keyless entry, card key system to start (posh push button start etc) Crap car though imo Edited January 18, 2011 by oafcprozac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 So, £20 to Walsall. Tell you what Lee, if you can find a legitimate way of getting there cheaper by public transport (i.e. no hitchhiking) I will give you the difference so you can go on the club coach.
