BodminRam Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hi all early stages at the mo, but after seeing Derby fans from all over down here at the Ashton Gate, and quite a few at the service stations on my way home yesterday, was curious at the response I would get if I suggested hiring a mini bus to some selected home games. I don't mind driving and living in Bodmin could even go via Plymouth , or no takers from their then Exeter . This would be be a non profit organised trip and we would discuss matches to attend. I don't know costs yet, as I stated its early days, so at the mo. I'm just getting a feel for numbers and if it was worth trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get a train to St Davids and sort something out from there. Would certainly beat the train to Derby! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I head down that way quite a lot because my sister lives in Falmouth. Normally takes me about four hours with 2/3 changes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to get to more games, and keeping the cost down, costs nearly 200 a game with food fuel and tickets for us two, am hoping this kicks off for my sins I just love going and give others down here a chance of more affordable games, their is a SW supporters club but its near Bristol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewquayRam Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 It shows how much attention I pay to this site, despite visiting it everyday I'd never noticed this Rams around the world section. I'd be all over this mini bus idea, myself and my 8 year old have season tickets and try to go to as many away matches as we can. I'd be more than happy to help with the driving, anything to help this work. Please keep me in the loop of any plans for this and definitely put us 2 down as deffinites for any (every) match that you consider running it.

NewquayRam Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 To be honest, when the A30 is closed and you are doing a diversion through obscure Devon villages at 1am being murdered would be considereda welcome relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewquayRam Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Any more thoughts on the idea of a mini bus? It would be great if we can get this to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
