Spot on OP ...

I have personally never travelled with Accy C but these things wouldn't happen without people like Leisure and the volunteers who run the coaches ...
👍🙂👍

I’ve been on Graceys buses 4/5 times this year in between organising my own, unbelievable crack and days I’ll never forget
He knows I love him, and Pete’s a brilliant bloke

I don't get on many games these days but been on plenty of Accy Clarets coaches in the past, always well run and a good craic - well done to all concerned.

Thank you Pete & co for all your help this season in allowing me and plenty of others travel thousands of miles watching our team.

Really appreciate everything x

Often goes without the praise deserved. It’s a thankless task organising coaches. Without the likes of Leisure and his stewards a lot of our fans wouldn’t get to games.

Well done to them.

My first trip with Accy Clarets yesterday, and the organisation and overall experience were excellent, a thoroughly great day. Very impressive.

I did note the message distributed yesterday about there recently being a few issues, with some individual’s behaviour. It would in my opinion be a very sad day and a real blow to many people who may not otherwise be able to get to away games, if Accy Clarets were to be no more.

Strikes me it must be a thankless task organising it all, match after match, season after season, and not one to be taken lightly or one which I’d like to undertake. It takes some dedication.

So we’ll done Pete and the rest of your ‘team’. Already looking forward to my next trip with Accy Clarets next season.

Was on coach 3 yesterday and would like to echo all the comments above. The stewards go above and beyond to make sure the travel is as easy and comfortable as possible.

Many thanks!

Many thanks for the compliments and comments. Also, my thanks to the lads and lasses who run the coaches and without whose help we wouldn't be able to run so many buses -
Gracey, Cad, Gary, Jordan, Simmo, Finny, Will, James, Joanne, Stewart, TY and not forgetting Tig, who's undergoing a double bypass heart operation on Tuesday. This season we've been to every game and run 101 coaches and 21 minibuses and taken nearly 6,000 fans to the games. As mentioned in an earlier post, there have been some unwanted issues on some trips from a minority and, whilst not wanting to spoil trips for the majority, we will be making some changes to the way we operate next season to hopefully reduce these issues. Also, thanks to our coach providers, Rothwells of Heywood, Holmeswood and Kabir's minibuses. UTC

Well done and Thank you to Pedro and all of the volunteers 👏👏👏.For the minority who let themselves down, just take note of the word "Volunteers" without these lads and lasses, travel to the games would be a lot more difficult for you.

Leisure Pete, thanks for the offer of meeting up at the ground and selling me a ticket. I had the best seat (to stand at!) in the ground and had a grand day out sat next to another friendly "Accy claret" (living in scruffy Herrod!). My first away game since a dire 0-0 draw at Coventry.

Yep, a big thanks for arranging……
We probably go 6/7 times a season on the Accy coaches and really appreciate what you and the team do………
