The service stations on the M6 may not permit the coaches to stop due to the large number.

Can't see how they will do that without stopping unless they have 2 drivers on each coach and then you would hope they at least stopped briefly to change driver! :shock:

A hearsay account of a reported trip back from Cardiff. Can't speak for these coaches, or any others, of course.

FFDS why can't you pcnuts look up regulations, coach drivers can do 4.5 hours solid driving, no need to stop on way, or way back, take bottles as suggested.

Hope they don't get stuck in traffic just outside Manchester then as the driver will then need to take a 45 minute break.

They're leaving 6 hours before KO. There must be a break scheduled somewhere in that time else you'll all be bored as oxf*rd at Eastlands

Question from a footy-coach newbie:
Can you leave stuff on the coach during the match, ie do you usually get the same coach/seat on the way back?

Bloody plastic! It's people like you who've caused all these problems! :wink:

In normal circumstances the answer is yes to all questions. Hopefully they will remember to number the coaches so I expect the same will apply on this occasion.

You could always ring the TO and check. They're going to be pretty quiet over the next few days now they've got no Man City tickets to sell!

On the STAR coaches you do.

Though with about 80 to 90 coaches, you might get on the wrong one.

haha! (I detest coach travel. I'm even going to have to take a travel sickness pill to ensure no vom :oops:)

But my car is dying, so it's all turned out quite nice.

Surely it all hangs on a whether you can remember a number for 90 minutes or not.

Take a pic of the reg with your phone.

I don't really have a bladder problem, I was just checking to see if they stopped. I'll take an empty bottle as a precaution.
