Chellaston Ram Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I was thinking about how to get to Burnley and the Rams Coach Travel costs £26.00 which I thought was expensive. Out of curiosity I looked in the Red Dogs site as they play at Burnley next Saturday and they charge £14.50. .Are DCFC ripping off us fans, Derby is even slightly closer the Burnley than Snottingham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The cost of the roadrider is ridiculous. Also It is the most boring coach journey you will ever go on and I'd advise everyone to avoid it at all costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chellaston Ram Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 The train takes 4 hours so I think the car is the best, how does DCFC justify charging so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenbyRam Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I've never understood why they charge so much for the Roadrider. It should be one of those things where they should break even and use it to encourage fans to attend. The club has always appeared to profiteer in this area. Ticket prices are high even as it is. Add in another £28 for coach travel, a few quid for a bit of snap and you're £65 lighter. I can't see how they expect people to do that every fortnight. Maybe the Supporters' Clubs ought to promote their buses a bit more, though very few of them run them now by the information on their website.

Philmycock Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I went to Preston on the Roadrider once, it was play off semi and was only way to get there, never again, was full of anoraks and train spotters with sandwiches wrapped in foil by their mummy's, and no beer allowed, journey from hell!!!

Tombo Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Used to use the roadrider since we had no knowledge of train stations and whatnot and it was the most convenient way of getting down there seemingly. If you're with kids you might consider it, but other than that it's just too expensive to be worth the boredom. It never feels like a football match when you go on the roadrider- always feels like a boring journey to whatever city via a rundown service station. There's a certain "atmosphere" on trains and in train stations and on the alternative coach choices where you see fans excited by the game later that day. The people on the roadrider don't even discuss the game, it's eerie sometimes. I remember last game of the season a few years back when we went to Watford on the roadrider. Firstly, no sign of any Derby shirts, flags, scarves or anything at all. Secondly, never heard anyone discussing the game. I remember thinking "are we on the right coach here? Cos I don't think we're on a coachful of Derby fans going to a football game..." Certainly did NOT feel like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 My one & only time on a supports coach was to the Wembley play off final. I couldn't believe that the bus was like a morgue on the way back. Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Weekend in Blackpool for me and the Memsahib for the Burnley trip. Same idea for Middlesbrough away - Friday night in Redcar, go to the match, drive to Blackpool Saturday night, match on Tuesday, drive home Wednesday. I knew there was a reason why I said "No problem, boss" when he asked me whether I could possibly defer 5 days of my annual leave into the 2014-15 year to drive through the UAT on my latest project.
