    Away Travel to Gillingham

    Seen on Twitter, bridge inn just sold out another coach in 25mins last night. How many more fans would we take if we had affordable travel available.

    When we go to Wembley, we have these third party companies leaving flyers over your windscreen, where are they now when we need some coaches?

    Coaches should be run by the club at the club, they could ask them who do the supporters coaches to help out
    Also plenty of parking at club for them that need to drive into town or getting dropped off/picked up

    Book a ticket book a seat

    Was talking to a guy behind me at the match and he'd got a quote for a coach to Wembley and just filled it up.

    Couldn't anyone do that if there's a group of them to start with?

    P.S....he charged £32 to Wembley.....Behive was £40

    I once ran a coach to Everton, as no one seemed to bother, filled it, charged well below what others were charging, and still ended up a little in pocket. I suppose drafting other coaches like they do at Wembley is difficult with it being such a big football weekend and bank holiday

    Hope you get the chance to run another one next season.

    The bloke that runs the Bridge Inn coaches is a mate of mine and the work he does putting the coaches on as well as a full time job is admirable.

    I wouldn't do it.

    Other clubs put subsidised travel on for fans when they want a big following or it is a huge game. We are really lacking here when it comes to this as a club.

    There is about 1000 tickets left, they go off sale in 9 hours but people can't get there.

    There is the Train but it's a faf and not very family friendly.

    Scum, it's a good run to Gillingham on the train, 3 hours or just under from Donny to Kings X, walk over to St Pancras then train straight there. Not a faf but maybe expensive for some people

    The club has tried to put on coaches for more fans who want to go but although there are buses available they are struggling to find drivers as it’s a BH weekend

    I don't think they have tried that hard.
