Guest KW-BCFC Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I am travelling by CATS on saturday for the big match. I have only used this service once before (vs leicester fa cup) as i normally go by train or car. The last time i used it we were held on the hard shoulder of the motorway just outside leicester for about 1 hour. Once we started our journey again we were then shephered into the ground. Does anyone know whether this will happen again this saturday? I am sure there are people on here who like me and my mates would like to go for a pre match drink and something to eat.

Guest East-Ender Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I think that was just a one off. However there are a lot of coaches and this could cause problems as i suppose they have to find somehwere where they can keep all our coaches together safely. Hopefully we should arrive a few hours before ko time for a few pints and some grub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BCFC Matt Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I immagine you'll be fine and should be free to roam down to the pubs and shops. Just a tip: make sure you give plenty of to get into the ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KW-BCFC Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Thanks for the above replies. Hopefully we will get time to soak up the pre match atmosphere and soak up a few pints. We will not be going any where near the centre as i think it is 3 miles away and plus i have heard on various forums there will be a very big representation from the notorious CSF in and around that vicinity.

Guest Uncle Ern Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Don't be fooled,the Old Bill have a definite agenda which will involve searching coaches for the demon drink and making sure that we are unable to be in a position to be got at or to do the "getting ."

Guest Mr Snufflelufagus Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I am led to believe that a police section 60 order is out on this match. basically it means they can stop and search anyone anytime for any reason so I would think there is a good chance coaches may get stopped etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest O_Faz Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 As a note there are now 17 coaches going upto Sheff Wed. Well done people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Hope they don't stop us for too long, I hate waiting around on a coach, especially when we aren't even moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ricky BCFC Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I remember going to Huddersfield on cats last season and they stopped us on the motorway somwhere between 1:30 - 2pm. We must've been there about an hour as we didn't end up getting into the ground literally 2 mins before the teams came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BridgyRed Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 In my experience it varies gratly depending on a number of reasons, As has already been said at huddersfield last season we stopped in a layby just outside huddersfield for an hour waiting for a police escort snd only got to the ground 5 mins before kick off. At wrexham earlier this season we got there at 12.30!!!!!!!! although we were able to watch the whole of eng V S Africa in the rwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
