Ian - so many questions!
So is the whole coach full or do you keep empty seats? - All of our 3 coaches are full.
If they can't get on at Nelson, can they get on somewhere else? - Yes, we also pickup in Accrington and Burnley but when it's full they can't book on from anywhere.
Ps Can't they pay you in advance via PayPal or something? - Some do but it's just too much to handle with so many bookings on the go at the same time ie for Sunderland we have 65 bookings (180 people) and for Leeds we have 67 (220 people). So that would be 132 payments coming in at the same time, so we take payment on the coaches.
Bit of a risk with all that cash? - Don't worry the lads running the buses all have bodyguards!
Where do you live again? - Fort Knox.
Thanks for your interest.
Thank you for the very interesting and comprehensive response!
For your undoubted commitment, you should be awarded the CBE.
Coaches Before Everything
Good luck for a hassle free season.

If you're going through Colne the town centre route may be shut for the Blues so traffic will be even worse than normal.

We've left cars there when we've been getting back from night games at 3am and it's never been a problem. It's very public/open and well lit.

If anyone needs to cancel any seats please do so asap, as any no-shows on the day will have to be paid for.
Please note that as you aren't allowed to take coins into the ground (they'll either be confiscated from you or if you refuse, you'll be refused entry), we'll be doing the driver's collection between the pub stop and the ground.
