Yes, they could sit together no doubt, I was working off worst case all single people. Not sure if they can fit more than 25 people on when there are a couple of groups of 6 for example or 25 is the limit even if 4 groups of 6 and a single person occupying about a quarter of the coach.

4 groups of 6 is an interesting example, I’d imagine they just use the usual space bollocks and put a few more on away from the groups or maybe they wouldn’t, as you say 25 then it gets tramping down the M1. 
 

25passengers nets £1125 per coach, drivers lucky to see £100 a day, someone’s earning from it.

I’m not bothered, that’s a lot of hoops to jump through, it won’t be the same  etc etc..........

 

2.59pm @ LCFC.com  F5, F5, F5.......

 

OK I’m going!

That sounds strange. Maybe they like to have a different view of the pitch for each half. Do they change seats if the teams swap ends after the coin toss as well?

Haha no idea, but yes I think you're right it can only be a for a different view

I am going but can fully respect why people don't want to.

 

I wouldn't consider this for any other game and won't be bothering with regular fixtures again until we can be at capacity.

I think we've got to change this "People don't want to go" argument too.

 

It isn't people choosing to stay away through snobbery or feeling this is beneath us- getting to this game is expensive and an awful lot of hassle. Plus, as excellently outlined by @Footballwipe, there are situations where Dads/ Grandads/ Mothers and Grans could go but under-16 children/ grandchildren can't which is a massive decision.

 

One of those situations where nobody is in the wrong whatever decision they take. I'm sure many are also thinking that we've got an excellent squad, manager and set-up and hopefully the next final won't be too far away

If I still lived in the UK and could get a ticket I'd quite happily leave my daughter at home 

 

I think it might depend on the age group, most people my age have waited their whole lives for this, the younger fans may well feel it might come around again soon

I ran a coach to the community shield game we didn’t park at Wembley but the 53 seater with toilet etc cost £650!

I didn't mean literally on her own, even though she is 14

Jesus, reading the blurb on the OS with the ticket booking sounds really depressing. It's like Orwell 1984.

Also, it’s not like you can’t enjoy winning if it should happen when not being there. I’d love to go with my mates but it’s not happening so I will enjoy it it home.

Stand by your morals and you shall be rewarded!  Managed to get one of the last few and be able to travel by car. I wonder how

many people now will just not turn up for the coach and make their own way. 

[VLC86]

Please tell me it’s a wind up that they are now saying you don’t have to travel by coach?

Nope 

 

The sad thing is £45 is a lot of money to part with to then also have to pay for alternative arrangements.

Nope - its true

 

Makes a mockery of the whole thing that they didn't have enough coach spaces in the first place

What's the chances the tickets will be cancelled if you don't travel by coach?

Doubt they got the process to cancel a ticket on match day 

[happy85]

Been told if you have a ticket on a LE postcode but no spaces on coach it doesn’t let you proceed on the website

Donna is living in Columbia under the name Wanita and Jim runs a fishery on the Isle of Skye under the name of Fergus apparently.

I got my ticket in a rush booked the coach from the KP.
 

Then went to assign a friend’s ticket, couldn’t get the coach to be accepted, fortunately she got online, got a ticket near me and got the coach booked from Enderby. 

 

It is what it is I suppose. 

[Dan]

Well that just proves the initial suspicion that it was a moneygrabber. Pretends to be shocked.
