Matt Posted 19 July 2014 Posted 19 July 2014 I know somebody who went with Ausden last season,it was only once but he said it was full of 15 year olds.Is this the norm? I went with Ausden Clark twice (I think ) and its generally a mix of old and young, probably slightly in favour of 15 years olds. I hate the coach whether it be Ausden Clark or Fox Travel, I always try to use trains but sometimes the price of trains/pain in the arse to get certain places leads to using the coach - I could drive but that would mean not drinking.

The train wins hands down,but with these stupid ticket prices the coach might help save a few quid.But saying that i've recently got that two people rail card and at the minute it seems to be saving me quite a bit.

I've seen that advertised and meant to have looked into it but haven't got round to it, is it worth it? Might see if my mates want to go halfs on one if it saves a decent amount of fares.

Yep it's says you save a third on all off peak fares,and up to now it does just that.£30 to purchase the card but after that your laughing.
Matt Posted 19 July 2014 Posted 19 July 2014 Yep it's says you save a third on all off peak fares,and up to now it does just that.£30 to purchase the card but after that your laughing. £15 each + savings, sounds decent, think i'll have to get one, they last yearly don't they?
Soup Posted 19 July 2014 Posted 19 July 2014 £15 each + savings, sounds decent, think i'll have to get one, they last yearly don't they? Pretty sure it is.
LeicesterAreGoingUp Posted 19 July 2014 Posted 19 July 2014 I know somebody who went with Ausden last season,it was only once but he said it was full of 15 year olds.Is this the norm? I'd agree with what 'the soup nazi' said of there is a general mix one big plus with Ausden is the break in the journey is not an hour long like on FT, usually 10-15 mins
Matt Posted 19 July 2014 Posted 19 July 2014 I'd agree with what 'the soup nazi' said of there is a general mix, but maybe slightly more teenagers. one big plus with Ausden is the break in the journey is not an hour long like on FT, usually 10-15 mins If any, so i'm told. I was told they don't normally stop. The twice I went we did stop, once because we were having an escort into Blackburn and the 2nd time we weren't going to stop but one of the coaches had a problem/broke down so we all had to stop that was when I went Huddersfield.

Yeah sometimes they dont stop, we only stopped at Burnley because we had to wait for a police escort and cant remember stopping at Huddersfield, Birmingham or Donny.

Soup Posted 19 July 2014 Posted 19 July 2014 1st ever withersppons at a services is m40 I think. Yes my mistake,junction 2 apparently.
Leicesterpool Posted 20 July 2014 Posted 20 July 2014 Ausden Clarke are better there cheaper and leave earlier.
Kegworthfox Posted 20 July 2014 Posted 20 July 2014 Will have a couple of spare reference numbers for this and a few other games if anyone interested and cheap travel
Leeds_Fox95 Posted 20 July 2014 Posted 20 July 2014 Will have a couple of spare reference numbers for this and a few other games if anyone interested and cheap travel What other games are we talking? Can't make Chelsea, leeds fest weekend...probably a cheaper weekend than Chelsea away to be honest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
lestajigs Posted 21 July 2014 Posted 21 July 2014 Fox travel have never stopped for an hour. Probably not an hour, but they defo drag it out
Countesthorpe Fox 1884 Posted 21 July 2014 Posted 21 July 2014 If i'm honest i always try to avoid getting coaches for London games as you spend 2 hours stuck in London which really can get tiring.
HEGGSY Posted 21 July 2014 Posted 21 July 2014 Will have a couple of spare reference numbers for this and a few other games if anyone interested and cheap travelI'll have one mate if that's okay
worksopfox Posted 22 July 2014 Posted 22 July 2014 Hi, I need two extra tickets for Chelsea away. Anyone help? I can buy two on Friday but require two more? I would really appreciate a bit of help!
shilton_fox Posted 24 July 2014 Posted 24 July 2014 If anyone doesn't fancy this but has a reference I could do with a couple for mates
Footballwipe Posted 24 July 2014 Posted 24 July 2014 I'm sure this may have been mentioned, but if you're intending to get as far back as possible don't get the back few rows of the lower tier. You will see precisely bugger all if everyone stands up.
Foxes1 Posted 25 July 2014 Author Posted 25 July 2014 Just got my ticket for this could only get £47 tickets on line though, no £50 available. Still I suppose I saved myself £3
