Yeovil

 

Sadly, we had a deadline with the bus company and didn't have enough names down to make the Yeovil trip happen. Apologies to those who had booked.

 

Scunthorpe

 

We now have ten names for this one and need another six to make it run. The cost is £12 and we depart The Junction at 5pm. Let us know asap if you can make it, either at the bar, on 0161 633 2759 or by email to junctioninn@hotmail.co.uk

 

 

Finally, apologies to anybody who booked onto the free bus for the trip to Boundary Park on Saturday and ended up having to make their own way down to the ground. We will never use First Choice/County Cars again.

There are two places left on the free bus down to Boundary Park tomorrow for the Rochdale game. The bus will depart at 2:35 as the televised lunchtime fixture ends (Arsenal v Liverpool). We have been assured that the bus will turn up!

 

Give us a buzz on 0161 633 2759, if you fancy it...

Some more bus trips to advise you all of...

 

Stevenage - 10/09

 

As usual, we will be running transport to Boundary Park this Saturday. The first 24 people to book on with us travel for free. After that, we will organise taxis but the cost of these will need to be split between the passengers.

 

Walsall 13/09

 

We need 16 people to make this one happen, but with the bookings already taken, we can safely say that this one will run and it won't be a repeat of the Colchester fiasco. The bus will depart The Junction at 4:30pm, returning immediately after the match. The price is £14 and will need to be paid in advance.

 

Leyton Orient 17/09

 

This one is more of a long-shot but we'll throw it out there and see where we get to. Again, we need 16 people to make it happen. The bus would be departing at 9am and the price is £20...

 

 

The contact details are as follows:

Two more bus trips to bring to your attention:

 

Brentford

 

Free bus down to the ground for the first 24 to book. The bus will leave immediately that we have all finished shouting for Everton in the lunchtime fixture at Eastlands (or whatever it is now called) and returns to the pub in time for us to all become Stoke City fans for two hours.

Exeter

 

We are going to try to run a 16 seater to Exeter. The cost is £24 and the bus will depart at 7am. You can only consider yourself booked once you have parted with the cash and this must be done by the close of business (11pm) on the Thursday prior to the game.

Our contact details are in the post above.

Here are another couple of bus trips to bring to your attention:

 

Scunthorpe

 

If we get 16 people, we will run a bus to Scunny for the silly cup tie next Tuesday. The proposed departure time is 4:30pm and the cost will be a tenner, if it runs...

Tranmere

 

This one will definitely run. The maximum price is £10.50 but this will reduce to just eight quid if we get a decent number of people. The bus will depart the pub at 12:30pm.

Our Exeter bus has two places remaining...
