    Can't remember what I paid to get down there on our coaches. Doesn't sound extortionate though.

    I remember when they were one of the pioneers of train travel for away fans. The "Inter City Owl" was their chartered train taking the blue and white hoards around the country. It was probably stopped when the number of carriages passed the five hundred mark and British Rail said they couldn't continue the away day charter because the network just couldn't cope with trains that long :D

    Wonder if there's some rule that says there must be a cheaper ticket for kids?

    Just as the front end of the coach is arriving in Plymouth the back end is setting off from Hillsborough.

    Everyone takes up a seat so I can understand the logic behind not wanting to give seats up for cheaper. But if there’s a rule that says kids have to be cheaper, they do it a quid less to get around the rule.

    Even considering the two driver requirement, this is profiteering.
