Its was pretty much a traffic jam from the Midlands to Stanmore if i recall due to roadworks on the M1 and being a bank holiday. Probably like 11 or 12. We left about 9.30 i think. Ended up running up Wembley way to Chariots of fire on the PA system. No joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a few of you are likely to be split between coaches and you need to be together, wait and let others board before you and get on next available one. That's what happened last time anyway. But it allows you to buy a ticket for a specific coach number.... and with an autistic child who picked coach 18, if he doesnt get onto coach 18 then all hell will break loose! Plus they will have a list of names for each coach, which I've been told they need to have by law incase of any issues..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bailed and dumped the car and got to the nearest bus route. Got to the ground ar 2.45. Will never drive again on the day. I am heading down the night before like and getting the train to wembley so much easier.

We got tickets for specific coaches so should be on that number, otherwise you could end up with people arriving at PP at 6am to get to the front of the queue and on the first coach.... all of the coaches are supposed to leave at 9am, I appreciate it wont be quite that punctual, but surely people.should get on their allocated coach and then that coach leaves when everyone is on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshfieldRam Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 As people have posted on here, the Roadrider for QPR was An absolute shambles. All anyone was bothered about was being there for kickoff and our melt of a driver was arrogant, rude and unapproachable. When I did ask him whether we’d make it in time he told me that it wasn’t up to him and it wasn’t his problem. We got there for 2:50 and ran up to get in for kick off. Best thing about it though was the driver sent a tip bag round later on the way home. Don’t think there was anything in it when he got it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the RR is leaving at 9am, so I'd aim to leave way before that, at least then you can stop off at services without the risk of being at the same one as a shitload of coaches ??

Our minibus will have to stop about three times. We don’t even make it to Birmingham without a piss stop. The combination of alcohol and weak bladders leaves us with no choice.
