Just want to see what sort of demand there would be for travel on the coach with the team and hotel accommodation too. I guess there will probably be 40 spaces available

1) Coach & 1 night - Travel up on friday by coach and back on saturday night
2) Coach & 2 nights - Travel up on friday and back on sunday night
3) Coach only - travel to and from the match by coach

I would definitely be up for coach travel if it includes a Saturday night out and a stay over on the Friday if the team require that. A few of us were looking to stay over on the Saturday night anyway and if they means not driving that would be great! :)

There's not than many luxury 72 seaters around this area now, so you might have to shop around a little.

I know Souls may have a few but can't think of many others.

Agreed if you could sort out some kind of deal with a hotel and it would work out cheaper then travelling seperately we would be silly not to take you up on it!!! :D I guess we could go out friday night Rabs just means the players won't be able to come???

With RDISA we used Alec Head - But they went out of business some time ago I believe.

I'd also be interested in travelling up on Friday and back Saturday.

Guys, already looking into it, and Souls are booked for that weekend. trying a few others.
But I was asked about staying over one night, so will let you know costs later today, but it aint going to be cheap, so I think we will struggle to do it.

I guess, mixing with the first team might work, what sixteen players, plus support crew, takes around 22 seats??
