Transport to Luton Away

[bfcbri]

If anyone if struggling to get to this game and has a ticket we still have 1 space available on our 12 seater minibus

We are picking up from Burnley at 7:30 then Leyland around 8:00am and Junction 24 on M6 about 20 mins later

It is more expensive then the supporters clubs unfortunately and will cost you around £55 to £60

Let me know is of any use to anyone

How come it's so expensive Bri?

I haven't tried hiring any transport like that for a while and know things go up but it seems excessive.

[bfcbri]

it cost us £650 as we are doing 3 pick ups and just dividing the cost between us all. We had 8 of us but 3 more jumped on board so just trying to flog the last one so it is cheaper for all of us.It comes with a driver so that is why it is that much so we can have a couple of beers when we get there
We was quoted up to £1100 by some firms!!

From recent experience of organising away trips that’s cheap.
I’d not run one for Luton because I know the cost would be daft with not being able to fill a decent sized bus and get the cost down per person (plus I didn’t get a ticket )

Sunderland, Stoke etc all cost our lot £700-800 divided by how many seats we could fill.

You’re paying for a driver for a good 15 hours there plus fuel prices are daft etc

Dreading booking a minibus for Blackpool now.

Around 10 years ago we used to get a 15 seater executive coach with driver for London trips. 30/35 a head.

Inflation eh

Shame a "football special" train seems to be impossible to run now

We got a cab back to Lytham after the West Brom game due to deciding it was a good idea to have a drink rather than get the last train back and he did it for £60. Train/bus combination probably the most cost effective option.

No trains from Blackburn to Blackpool stretch when we play them.

Think it is going to bus for us to Blackpool so instead of a 34 minute train journey now nearly 2hr via Preston from Leyland. At least with the fares capped at £2 per single journey it will only cost £4 each way

We could at least just start with normal trains!
