RoystonFoote'snephew Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 It's been a, while since I travelled by coach and I mostly went on coach 2 (Jerry's coach) but when I travelled on coach 1 it was fine. Yes it had a higher average age and the regulars liked their fixed seats but they'd offer drinks and snacks too. Coach 2 had a younger average but also had its regulars some of whom could be seen in the same seats for each trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever been out with a group of mates, sat in a pub, doing your thing and had some random loner come along and plonk themselves down at your table...? That will be you on Saturday..! Truth is, coach 1 is a bit of an enigma for most because you can't get on it. These people travel the length & breadth of the country watching City - so you'll have a shared interest. Be polite & respectful of the fact that's its you ntering their domain & I'm sure you'll be very welcome. Plonk a wireless speaker on your lap, blasting out the greatest garage anthems of 2021 & then probably not so welcome..! It would be my last choice as mode of transport to an away game - but you'll be fine. Good luck..! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy1968 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I travelled regularly on coach one for a few years in the early to mid nineties. I used to sit directly behind Beryl most of the time and she used to give us all the latest gossip. You certainly knew who her favourite players were (and weren't). When I first started the steward was a chap called Steve. He had a falling out with Beryl one game, and after that the Stewarding was done by a young lady (sorry I can't remember her name). I remember an old chap called Reg who used to travel to games with the first team back in the 1950s. I expect a few of the older coach one regulars from my time have passed on now (obviously Beryl, RIP) , as have two of the friends I used to go with (brothers Dave and Ian Cottle, RIP, both passing at early ages). Coach one regulars were a bit special (and clearly still are if this thread is to be believeed ), but don't diss them too much, they are probably more Bristol City than you (and me)! 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmosUK Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Sit where you like lad, I went on coach 1 to Watford many years ago and told one of the regulars who was very rude in explaining the situation to eff off. Must have had at least 30 Pairs of eyes staring at the back of my head all the way home. Can’t remember if it was 1-1 or a 2-1 defeat.
