yep..I called the ticket office to enquire if they had made a mistake but apparently that’s the time Galloway’s have said they wish to depart…should be able to get a few beers in before the game in that case..👍 | | | |

It's been a good 30 years since I've been on the coaches to go to an away game but on that rare occasion, you got an hour or so for a beer beforehand, it was really welcomed.
Actually, tell a white lie, went on the coach to Wolves for a midweek game as car was off the road. Think it was towards the end of the 04/05 season when we were in that three way tussle with Wigan and Sunderland. Coaches got to Wolverhampton at 6pm so I was starting to lick my lips at the prospect of a drink, only for the police to stop us getting off for another hour. |  |

Think we pulled into Coventry in March 1994 at something like 530pm. Several of us rushed into the Mercers Arms opposite the ground. I was a bit sh!tfaced by kick off. | |

I suppose they’re planning a stop!
Think they have been leaving off a little late as well, so may be allowing time for that. | |

Will be first time this season I’ve used the coach and can’t believe how early we’re leaving.
Also I’m on coach 4 and it seems they only have assigned seats on coaches 1-3 so I’m guessing it’s a free for all like it used to be until a couple of years ago?🤔😂 |  | | |

They left 9 hours before kick off for Sunderland then made us have 2 stops the first one ended up being nearly an hour and a half! Rumour has it the Leeds game they are leaving at 4.30! They seem to be doubling the journey time at the moment and really pushing for extended breaks. Coming back from Sunderland we stopped for 45 minutes at services that were only an hour from the ground because of the drivers hours. But the drivers had been on a break for the whole of the game surely. I use the coaches as cannot drive but they are really taking the mick this season. | | | |

Used them a couple of times and the early departures and late arrivals are a proper pain.
Southampton and Bristol both meant getting to Portman Rd around 3am.
Train should be doable for Watford? |  |

Used them on a game to Blackburn,two drivers on the coach and they still stopped foe a 45 min break! When I asked why they quoted drivers hours when I pointed out that’s why you have two drivers, one driving one on rest/ other work so he can still drive in the same hours as the first driver they got the hump🙄 | | | |

I'm happy with a 45 minute stop on the way to a game, espically if it's a decent distance but not on the way home! You just want to get back. | | | |

They are leaving at 6am for the Boro game!
last year we left so early for Bolton we had to make a second service station stop and still got to the ground two hours early
Then on the other hand only just made Barnsley | | | |

Took the coach to the re-scheduled Rotherham match which picked us up just before 2 pm and we got to the ground at about 7 as the traffic as dreadful so, the early pick up was good. |  | | |

I’d have thought they deffo will have a stop..the reason why I queried the timings are for the West Brom game which is a lot further away the coaches aren’t leaving until 11.00… | | | |

I asked this question last season for the only time we went by coach to Barnsley.
The first three coaches are allocated seats, if you’re in coach four onwards, your allocated the coach, but it’s a free-for-all for your seat. |  |

You could be going to Galatasaray away in the Champions League, and they’d still find a reason to stop at Grantham. |  |
