acooling08 Posted 11 March 2012 Share Posted 11 March 2012 WHY are the coaches leaving so early for the Chelsea game? The trip takes about 2 and a half hours so we will be arriving at the ground way too early for kick off. I understand that some fans will want to have a beer before the game but personally I have no interest in that, and surely an hour before kick off would be sufficient for that? Getting up before 8 if something I haven't done for many years, although I guess getting up to go watch Leicester will be easier than getting up to go to school/college/work. My dad gets up at 7am every morning (old bastard) and is having a great laugh over it. I don't see the funny side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acooling08 Posted 11 March 2012 Author Share Posted 11 March 2012 Bloody ell! It's all part of the day out! Coalville picnic from 730am for us Picnic at 7:30am? Wouldn't have the appetite for a chocolate biscuit at that hour Forgot about the stop at the services, I guess that'll eat into the time a bit. But don't feel like an hour or so sitting in the stadium reading the programme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford Super Sunday Posted 11 March 2012 Share Posted 11 March 2012 It's been approximated that there will be around 30-40 coaches going to this match They won't leave at 8:30. The fleet will leave later because they're never on time, and we'll likely have to wait for lots of people who think it's good to arrive at 8:29. There will be stops at different service stations, then I'm sure the police will want to round the coaches up into one lot and bring them in. Add to the fact that the coaches will again leave later than scheduled because not all fans will be back by the time asked by the drivers. Apparently the last time they parked the buses a 15-20 minute walk from the ground (Not sure if this is true) so that's tagged on. You'd rather leave at 8:30 and arrive with plenty of time than leave later, hit traffic or an accident and arrive 15 minutes into the game, wouldn't you? Yes it leaves early, and like the OP I just want to watch the game, no faff, but the logistics of the way with all the coaches mean the earlier the better in this scenario.

Larry_LCFC Posted 11 March 2012 Share Posted 11 March 2012 Jesus man. Im sure there are thousands who would love your ticket and who would get up 3am if they had to! Be grateful you can go to the game and quit the whinging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Lass Posted 11 March 2012 Share Posted 11 March 2012 They will have to meet the police at a certain time. Sure you'd rather get there a little bit early than late, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 11 March 2012 Share Posted 11 March 2012 Bet the coaches will stop for about 40 minutes, think Supporters Bus is leaving at 9 which isn't too bad, any pubs around the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicesterisme Posted 11 March 2012 Share Posted 11 March 2012 Don't go on the bastard bus then, go on the train and you can choose the time you want to go yourself. Surely it's better to leave early and guarentee you'll get there on time, you don't know how long the bus may take e.g. traffic on the day. You'd moan if the bus got to the ground late because it left at 9:30 for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnieTodger Posted 11 March 2012 Share Posted 11 March 2012 Stop moaning at him, he's making a valid point. 8:30 is ridiculous considering it kicks off at 2.05 and it's in London. Yes there's a 45 minute stop but we'll get there nearly 2 hours early. Also, you always have to get to the coach about 30 mins before it's due to leave to get a decent seat. The coach costs £19 so it makes more sense than to go via train which could cost triple that when you include the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont agree with it make your own way there. Its better to allow time for any delays on route than to leave late and arrive late. I also imagine they will have to be escorted through London at a set time agreed with the police. Turning up 30 mins early for a "decent seat" is entirely down to you. Like I said earlier, just be grateful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21st Century Fox Posted 11 March 2012 Share Posted 11 March 2012 Everybody knows you have to get there early to get that one seat that has the robot that comes out of the back of the seat in front of you and gives you a blowjob, whilst you look out of the window at the artificially projected images of the swiss alps zip by as you're going down the motorway. I thought this was common knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karljohn Posted 11 March 2012 Share Posted 11 March 2012 Im taking the coach down, just grateful for a ticket to the game and a coach ticket, parked a few times near Chelsea on street meters and it was £1 for 12 mins and with the price of fuel its a bargain on the coach, early start for me as ive got 25 miles to Leicester in the car to do first, probably get a good 45 minute stop at services. Certainly not going to moan about 8.30 start, which will probably be nearer nine by the time the latecomers roll in. I was on a coach to Athletico Madrid once, now thats another story.

Voll Blau Posted 11 March 2012 Share Posted 11 March 2012 Just go out on the piss the night before, hit Sophbeck til 6, have a bite of breakfast somewhere, pick up a four pack of tinnies and have a slow wander down to the ground to get there for 8.30. It's not rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promised land Posted 11 March 2012 Share Posted 11 March 2012 I didn't know the coaches had good and bad seats Maybe not good or bad seats but certainly bad headroom, I gave my head a good crack going up the stairs on Saturday when boarding the coach at the KP. This wasn't the first time I have done it either! Anyone know how many Foxtravel coaches they got upto before they sold out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
