foxesfan1989 Posted 13 January 2013 Share Posted 13 January 2013 Anyone use "Foxes Travel" a lot? What exactly does it consist of? A lift in a bus to the stadium and back? Also what is the atmosphere like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFC FOX Posted 13 January 2013 Share Posted 13 January 2013 Can buy cans of pop and chocolate bars on the journey, Stops off once around half way for about 45 minutes on the way there. Doesn't stop at all on the way back. Also there is no atmosphere on the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it just pick you up outside the stadium on the way back then and drop you off at the KP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 13 January 2013 Share Posted 13 January 2013 Yeah. Sometimes the driver will drop people off at the M1 junctions which is handy if you live in Markfield or Braunstone, but it depends on the driver because I'm pretty sure it's against the law.

Would be nice for it to be cheaper sometimes as its only around £2/3 pound more to go to Cardiff than it is to Nottingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice for it to be cheaper sometimes as its only around £2/3 pound more to go to Cardiff than it is to Nottingham. They only sell hot drinks on the coaches now. No soft drinks or sweets. And the pricing is because they even it out. Games like Forest and Coventry are £13/14 so that games like Cardiff and Middlesbrough are only £20/21. If they weren't evened out then the long distance journeys would touch £30. You'll find a lot of snobs on here who begrudge FT, and would rather spit on their mother than go to a game via the coach method. But at the end of the day it is one of the most cost effective and easiest ways to do games. Good luck training it on a Tuesday night to Cardiff. Obviously train and car are better as you can manage your own time and plan your day, but for a lot of people coach is the way. Does it have some twee, insular and old-fashioned people on it? Sure it does, and that's what frightens the hardcore so much, as they seem scared to be associated with them. But it's a form of transport to and from the game. It gets you from A to B and the stewards are extremely nice people, who really cares who you're with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storming Posted 13 January 2013 Share Posted 13 January 2013 Only been on one Once Norwich away last year never again was going to slit my wrists on the way back .I would hate to imagine what it would have been like had we lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry - LCFC Posted 13 January 2013 Share Posted 13 January 2013 There's always been a bit of a dull atmosphere and a lot of damp negativity whenever I've used it, I heard people moaning about our players not tackling enough after we'd beaten Wednesday this season, seems to be very little genuine excitement on the coach when we win away. To conclude, it gets you from A to B and is decently priced but it isn't the exciting adventure that the train can be. I personally wouldn't go on it for big away games like Forest or an FA Cup tie.

1964FOX Posted 14 January 2013 Share Posted 14 January 2013 Clearly has some of our most loyal supporters use it but they do moan an awful lot and won't mix with others unless they have known them 20 years. Clearly it's an easy option and if you purely require transport and nothing else then it's ok. Agree with the comment that the people who run it are lovely people but what ever you do don sit in Hagrids seat!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 14 January 2013 Share Posted 14 January 2013 It's convenient but a last resort for me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottthefox Posted 14 January 2013 Share Posted 14 January 2013 Last resort for me as well but it does the job. Often used when doing midweek aways on me tod, bang the iPod in to cancel out the drivel that people spout and you'll be fine. Second the opinion that the people who run it are genuine and friendly.

Father Ted Posted 14 January 2013 Share Posted 14 January 2013 Just does what it says on the tin really... gets you there and back. No atmosphere, extremely boring crowd on Coaches 1 & 2 in particular. The stewards are top notch as said though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 14 January 2013 Share Posted 14 January 2013 Stewards are brilliant. Kept us informed of the moving of the coaches after the game on Saturday and are always helpful and polite. Do a top job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
