Will be different for Wembley obviously. Wednesdayite have opened coach ticket sales up to members today ahead of general sale tomorrow - it's £59 for non members, which is usually priced the same as the ICO. Bit steep, the coach companies will be making plenty of extra prrrrrofit off us, the drivers will probably salute every time they drive past Peterborough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's full already.. Coach companies are definitely making some decent extra cash off this, even if they're paying their drivers overtime for the bank holiday. ICO to Charlton in February was £45 - Wembley similar distance, a bit less if anything, and fuel prices have dropped since then as well. Even Portsmouth was £50. Can't blame them tbh but as always it's the fans who have to fork out the extra dough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buses fully booked before anyone asks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just glad that someone else can still remember that we chartered a HST Train that day.Previous ICO Trains were mostly made up of Old Mk1 Coaches that were ready for the scrap yard.

Correct. DMU 'Bug cars' to Hull & Grimsby then it really took off. Great days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
