Mikey Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 Right before i go bed... as i have JUST got back from London now.....I must tell you how my day went....Set off from Kettering to Leicester at 1pm.... Had a pint in the sportsbar.... boarded the coach at 2.20.... Departed from The ground about 2.40ish... This is when we all knew we had a twat of a driver.... He was Stoping at green Lights and going on Red ones.... ???!!! Anyway we were moving quite slow in traffic and we got into London at about 6.00pm which we werent expecting..... Then word got round the driver didnt actually know where he was going.... He actually had a Tom Tom which made it worse, but he didnt use it as he didnt know how to set it up.... The driver then proceded to stop at almost every bus stop to either check his map or ask for directions.... A BUS DRIVER WHO NEEDS HELP.....WHAT!!! By the time we got anywhere near the ground it was already 7.15pm...... Obviously Everybody was kicking off.... a lot of people jumped off.... he then decided to miss a couple of turns and take us 2 miles away from the ground, then when we told him he missed the turn, he does a turn in the road on a BLOODY busy road.... Then he goes back and still manages to get lost.... so by this time it was 7.30..... we were still 10 mins from the ground and we all jumped off.... walked through some horrible alleyways and could have got mugged to be honest cos there were some strange ****ers around.... Finally rushed there got in there bang in time for a special night.... "Obviously we all no what happend in the game" Very proud.... all of us were going mental..... Then After the game we had to find the bus.... ok after 10 mins we found him.....No problem.... plenty of singing through the dark chelsea streets..... So everybody gets on and we move off..... After 20 mins we are still in Chelsea, after a Hour we are still in fooking CHELSEA!!! He took us around the block and round the same places over and over again....He was still stopping and asking where to go to get onto the motorway.... Everybody was laying into him as you can imagine.... songs like " you dont know what your doing" and "your getting sacked in the morning".... To be fair he probably will.... he was useless.... the best part about being stuck in London was taking the piss out of the twatish chelsea fans.... but anyway we found the motorway.... moved off slow..... and things camled down.....UNTIL..... as we got closer to home.... he still needed help off a female passenger who sat up top with him and guided the idiot back to Leicester for a good 50 mins..... What a nightmare....i got back home wondering what might have been and also what shouldnt have been..... Be complaining tomorrow like all of that coach 35.... Unlucky Leicester..... Great night for us.... Nightmare Journey.... Feel free to add your comments.... Exactly like my coach on Coach 22. The driver had no idea where she was going or what she was doing. The only thing that kept me from going mad was the lads at the back. Quality, don't know who they were though.

GianEmmo Zola Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 coach 22 was classic for the banter! when we went by the bbc, they were singing songs about that! and the genius 'were going up, were going down'!

leedslad Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 The coach companies obviously aren't used to Leicester taking big numbers anywhere ...If it's any consolation; our official coaches are always shite, then to make things worse the police get involved and park us in the middle of nowhere outside the place we're playing in until 2pm, giving us half an hour pre-match for boozing ...and they often keep us inside after too.

Hmm I wonder why.
leedslad Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 Hmm I wonder why. ...Hooligans aren't daft enough to travel by official coach, it's generally families who use them. (Unless we're all forced to)
Head Honcho Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 Least you made kickoff. Delays on the f**king tube, we missed McAuley's goal. Ha! You said you were gonna make an effort to be in time for kick-off.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 2 November 2007 Posted 2 November 2007 Horror travel stories but i bet none of you would want to change it know sounded like a ripping nite
mikelcfc Posted 2 November 2007 Posted 2 November 2007 fooking coach 21. what a laugh. i had my suspitions before we went when other coach drivers were telling him how to get to the m40 . got into london about 6 ish. started seeing fans shortly after. they were walking in the same direction as us, a few minutes later they were walking the other way. then after seeing two lcfc coaches go past the other way we knew we were lost. after a few miles and a few side streets the driver pulled up outside currys and asked a copper. then turned around in topps tiles car park of all places and went back the other way. then there was a sign saying chelsea "left" and he stops and asks for directions. .AND THAT WAS JUST GETTING THERE... after getting there 5 minutes before kick off and watching a great match. we thougth he would just follow another coach....NO. he went pat fulhams ground and on putney brige road..we knew we were in for a long night. but when we saw the london eye we were seriously concerned. we went up millbank to houses of parliamen. past victoria bus station and past lords cricket ground. then we finally hit the m1 after following a bus that was going to edinborough. we stopped at toddington on the way back which was suprising but had a bit of banter with a coach of blackpool fans. got back on the coach and saw the driver looking at the map(in pitch black) he thn said the m1 was shut and we were going on a detour....great.... got back to walkers about 3.45/4.00 i didnt get any sleep as i was too worried as to were i was going to end up. but ffs looking at were we went on a map is bloody scary.
Leicester's 12th Man Posted 2 November 2007 Posted 2 November 2007 Reading this we where quite lucky. Got the train and tube in and was there in plenty of time for kick off Got back to leicester at 2.30
Fez of Mahrez Posted 2 November 2007 Posted 2 November 2007 Ha!You said you were gonna make an effort to be in time for kick-off. You try being on time for anything when you have to account for this character (apprehended by police at Earls Court tube station in fact);
The People's Hero Posted 2 November 2007 Posted 2 November 2007 You try being on time for anything when you have to account for this character (apprehended by police at Earls Court tube station in fact); Personally, I think I pull off the double-chin. I'm just a few chins (and several chips on each shoulder - as well as a bag in the hand) behind Ultra now.
Jonbluefox9 Posted 2 November 2007 Posted 2 November 2007 I was on bus 3 on Wednesday and my mate and I sat next to a bloke who kept on singing the Matty Fryatt song but inserted random phrases instead of 'Matty Fryatt'. These included 'wakey wakey' when me and my mate were falling asleep, 'it's your birthday' when my mate gave me a birthday card at midnight and 'get your banjo out' when a folk style song came on the radio. If anyone knows someone who lives in Braunstone, sits in the Kop and whose last name is Windram I'd love to know if he sings this song everywhere he goes! Made the journey funny though.
Tevez Posted 2 November 2007 Posted 2 November 2007 Personally, I think I pull off the double-chin.I'm just a few chins (and several chips on each shoulder - as well as a bag in the hand) behind Ultra now. How did you get a pint glass on the train
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 2 November 2007 Posted 2 November 2007 How did you get a pint glass on the train I was thinkng the same surely u guys don't have a boozer on your public transport cos that would be awesome
