GENK COACH: Train Station - Stadium and return

Hi all,
I've had a quote for a 50 seater for 660 euros from
www.osabus.com. I work it out at £12 each, any difference at the end will go to the foodbank.
17:30 @ Genk Train Station, returning there after the game.

We still have 14 seats available. You will have to pay in advance for this as I can't front 660 euros believe it or not.
Just leave a comment confirming numbers for now and I'll put payment details on later.

Green tick means you've confirmed your booking, please keep an eye out in the morning for further details re payments, without Bop we are 16 bums short, please spread the word in any burnley groups or chats you have. Attachment is just to let everybody know I'm not stringing you along.

You’re a legend Jjjack.
Pretty sure if we don’t get confirmation from Bop people would be ok paying £16 rather than the £12 as it’s a guarantee of getting to and from the stadium.
EDIT: just seen Bops message so fingers crossed and happy days

Have I read it wrong or does the game not kick off at 15.00? What time is the pick up?

Anyone else on 12:50 from Manchester on Friday? Bus and train to Genk is about 3.5 hrs. A taxi direct from airport about 1.5 hrs. 5 in a cab wouldn’t be much more I wouldn’t think?

Morning all.
44 confirmations, if I could ask everybody for the time being to pay £13.50 each. It comes to £594 and using the great metric that is tesco exchange rate it works out at 674 euros (660 for coach, 14 for the foodbank as it stands).
If we get a full coach happy to refund everybody the extra £1.50 per person.

Since people have already started paying 13.50 a head the price will remain unchanged and 100 quid will go to the foodbank after the weekend as long as nobody has any gripes with that.

Absolutely no issues.
