Burmesefox Posted 7 March 2014 Share Posted 7 March 2014 Ausden Clarke - told me i would get an email confimation. Never got one after calling them 5 times. Today they have told me that i don't need an email and they have me down so just turn up and go! If they had told me that in the first place it would have been job done.

Matt Posted 7 March 2014 Share Posted 7 March 2014 Pathetic customer service from Ausden Clark today. Called to see what was what and the woman didn't have a clue about any footy details so she took my number to get back to me and guess what... Yh no call back.. LOST BUSINESS!! I've emailed them twice and had no response. I will more than likely book with them but before booking i'd like to know what time they are leaving/what time they expect to get to Blackburn, I've emailed them twice asking the question and had no response, I'll give them a ring tomorrow.

Hmmmm, I'd like some confirmation personally, it'd be my luck to turn up on the day and for them to tell me i'm not booked down as travelling with them and be fucked.

Matt Posted 7 March 2014 Share Posted 7 March 2014 Matt the coach leaves at 9.15 Cheers, so i'd imagine ETA is around 11.30 - 12.30 (Gave a pretty big tolerance there, although i'd imagine taking into consideration it's a coach it'll be closer to 12.30) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 7 March 2014 Share Posted 7 March 2014 Do they stop at services for hours like the crap city coaches? I only want straight through and get there early for pre match bevvies Agree there, i also get annoyed with the services stops I understand people may want to use the toilet, but there is one normally on board the coach plus does it really take longer 15 minutes to use the toilet. For me the service station stop should be no longer than 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterboyuk Posted 7 March 2014 Share Posted 7 March 2014 Do they stop at services for hours like the crap city coaches? I only want straight through and get there early for pre match bevvies Generally they get to the match quite early and mostly they don't stop and get straight to the ground, last time I remember stopping was Milwall on New Years day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 14 March 2014 Share Posted 14 March 2014 For Blackburn? Yes Yeah just booked, i think it's good we're going earlier than the foxes travel. What time are we due to arrive in Blackburn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lestajigs Posted 14 March 2014 Share Posted 14 March 2014 At a guess around 12.30 so straight to Blackburn town centre in a cab for a couple!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collo73 Posted 18 March 2014 Share Posted 18 March 2014 The girl at Ausden Clarke just said the coaches are stopping at services if they stop like the city coaches do for 45/60mins this will be my first and last time with them. Hopefully a quick 10min stop and get us where we wanna be nice and early...the pub!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanlcfc Posted 18 March 2014 Share Posted 18 March 2014 No! you're too dumb Why not get there early and have lunch and a pint or 3 before getting on the coach, why was pick-up at Local hero not thought of before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same as Blackpool, then we stopped for 15 minutes to allow everyone to stretch their legs and go to the toilet before they got going again. Be nowhere near a 45 minute stop.

promised land Posted 18 March 2014 Share Posted 18 March 2014 Do they stop at services for hours like the crap city coaches? I only want straight through and get there early for pre match bevvies I think you'll be somewhat disappointed then. It's not down to the coach company or driver for how early they can get there, the local plod have a big say in matters and the coaches usually can't arrive at the ground before a certain time. If they do, they get held up over a motorway bridge or layby somewhere until they're ready to take them in. Leicester plod used to do the same on the bridge next to the Hilton and Meridian McDonald's, not sure if they still hold them there. In previous seasons our club have had to get special permission to arrive earlier so the fans can wander around, Preston in 2010 springs to mind and a Blackpool away day.

Collo73 Posted 18 March 2014 Share Posted 18 March 2014 Narborough fox- cheers for that and that seems fair enough really. Promised land- yh I know the score on that one but was hoping to be parked up by 12.30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to all the aways since December on Ausden Clark and we have had very few service stops, Millwall and a very quick stop for Barnsley are the only ones I can remember. This season also had very few police escorts to the ground compared to previous seasons. I've never been to Blackburn on the coach, have we had a police escort to the ground in previous seasons? I'd be amazed if we're not there by 12:45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be amazed if we're not there by 12:45 I went to Ewood park last season on Fox travel and have no idea if we had an escort in, haven't been on the Ausden Clarks yet this season but I'm on them for this game. Personally I'm not too fussed about a service station stop, all coaches have toilets if you need it or use a bottle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narborough_fox Posted 20 March 2014 Share Posted 20 March 2014 Ausden Clark get by the police escort etc. as they are ran by the DSA, this means they get allowed to arrive early to ensure there are no problems with unloading the bus and the sort .
