Official Coach

[EGWToffee]

Anyone have experience of using the official coach? Especially to Southampton…How long is it likely to take? It says it leaves at 8am for a 3pm KO. Train journey is 4.5 hours from Lime Street so it’s either or.

Is the coach better than the train etc specifically for Southampton?

It's around a 4+hr drive in a car on a clear road at the best of times.

Coach gonna take at least an hour more than a car

From recollection, you’re not allowed ale on the official coaches, so that’s a no from me.

It’s not just a question of it not being allowed, it’s a criminal offence to be in possession of alcohol whilst travelling in a coach being used principally to transport people to or from a match.

There’ll be a break in the journey of about 30 minutes on the way there in the coach. I got it there one year when it was free , we had time for a couple of pints when we arrived.

I’m fully aware of the law. However, most forces take a more flexible approach to the SE Act (1985) in the sense of ‘if the ground isn’t in our remit’ they won’t act.

Hence, why most coaches have ale on board and are never dealt with.

I know full well you lot take a bottle of Southern Comfort already mixed in a fizzy drink bottle..

As long as he doesn’t piss himself on the back row or clog the toilet up with a Cumberland, it’s all gravy baby. The worst type of person are those who have a dump before Burtonwood.
