Gary Teale Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I've just got on mine. There were quite a few spare coaches left as well. Someone can't count very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Must say we it went okay for me. A bit of a queue but for the number of people not unexpected. Got us loaded quickly when the busses arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't expect to be told get there for 8, but actually get on the b@st@rd at 9.30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I agree, told get there for 8, can't get on a bus until 10. Not good when with a 5 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Didn't expect to be told get there for 8, but actually get on the b@st@rd at 9.30 Tickets said departures between 8:45 and 9:45, where's the issue? I guess the get there for eight was so they could start loading as soon as coaches arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Teale Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I thought it worked better last time when you had a coach number and got straight on it. I didn't expect to have to wait 2 hours outside to get on a coach that I had booked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the fact the time waiting for the bus is nearly the same amount of time it take to get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyHudson Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 My ticket didn't have a coach number on it and I'm sure the club said it was "first come first served", hence why I got down there at 6.30am. Did other folks have a coach number assigned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i84est Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I think expectations should be realistic. If you think waiting 2 hours for a bus you have already paid for is realistic. I obviously live in the feckin clouds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 There's a woman on our bus with a half Derby half QPR scarf but even better there's a block with a Rams v Rangers t-shirt. It must be the only one that didn't end up on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Teale Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I think expectations should be realistic. Do you think taking 2 hours to fill 60 coaches is efficient and well organised? They knew how many people they were getting and how many busses they had. There is me and a 5 year old, so we couldn't even go to the loo without losing our spot in the queue during a 2 hour wait. I chose this route to the game as I thought it would be organised and less hassle than public transport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
