they travel down the day before and stay in a cushty hotel . no expense spared.
think 64 meant coach from the hotel , which in london it can take up to a hour depending where hotel is and the traffic.

I'm as frustrated as anyone on how recent results have gone and Bielsa's stubbornness to change the way we play but the people moaning are the same ones who not long ago were saying "in Bielsa we trust".
Less than a week ago we were beating the only unbeaten side in the league to go back to the top.
Yes we're down to 5th now but that's only because this league is tight and full of teams of the same standard.
Swansea's defeat at home to previously winless Stoke epitomizes what this league is all about.
I bet if you go on their forum this morning their fans are saying much the same "we have no chance of promotion".
The truth of the matter is they do and so do we. I think it will be nip and tuck all the way to the finishing line. We'll need some luck with injuries of course but for now I'm staying positive. I think we'll get 13 points from the next six games which will keep us in the mix.

Took us two hours & twenty minutes from The Den though London to the M25 on our return home. We often see the team coach on route back to Leeds

Maybe that's part of the problem. They already think they've made it, treated to a life of luxury and lucrative new contracts. Make them earn this through performances and rewards. Slum it from the bottom up.

oh bolloxs to that , rather you than me mate .
dislike coach travel , never travelled by coach to games apart from the leic supporters branch days during the late 70s always preferred to travel on the rattler.
however for the swansea game we had to drive up due to engineering works on the line , took us over 3 and half hous up on the m1 due to hold ups .
. was busting for the f**king khazi aswell ...... never again.

I was in the same predicament as the loos at grounds after matches are disgusting & the coach loos are not much better so by the time we reached Northampton Services I was the first off our coach, one of our lot said to me "you're always in a rush" & believe me I was :lol:

Coach travel is the cheapest, easiest & safest form of travel imo. Over the years I made some very good friendships with the fans I travel with, great crowd & camaraderie on our coach :scar1

And you have been beating them with a big stick for the last couple of years until they all vote Phillips MOTM every time on the coach, either that, or you have threatened them with making them go to Jane Mcdonut concert.. :shock: :shock:

your lucky , we never had a bog on our coach , if you was desperate you just had to piss in a bottle , no wonder we constantly changed coach firms !

train travel can be expensive 64 however we have a two together railcard and get up to leeds and back for around 27 quid. we take our own ale , book table seats and always the ones nearest to the crapper !
depending on the ticket situation we only go to home games now .
with all ticket malarkey these days , sky tv , streams and travel chaos i tip my hat to you ,

That's the problem, it's difficult to book cheap early train/flight tickets as our game times are often changed
