The other coach firm was Hills Travel from Carters Green,Anne Aston ( of the Golden Shot tv show )dad own it . Vaguely remember Des from Sealander.Their coaches had a habit of breaking down, was worried going to the 68 cup final one.
Jeff Astle's wife Loraine often came to the away matches on our coach.

Never had any respect for this tosser since he refused to wear the poppy despite many of his countrymen sacrificing their lives in the Great War. A real British hater who was more than pleased to pick all those bits of paper with the Queens head on them!

The idiot has wore the word Albion on his chest for 3 years. Isn't it the oldest name for Great Britain?

HATS, was what it was called and they would use coach companies like Sealandair.

When I started going to away matches in late 80's it was the Sealandair coaches we went and there used to be a song sung at matches around that time of "we will follow the Albion, over land and sea and water.

Went home and away in those and saw us at old grounds like roker Park and ayresome Park.

leons coaches have the contract now.

They do us one week and the dings the next, where they have big problems with their lot taking booze on them so have to check all bottles.

Anyone remember Harold Whitehouse, who used to organise Throstle Club coaches back 50 years ago? Miserable old bugger who didn't like us singing on his coach.
