Yeah but I'm not transporting people, I would think the coach companies insurance, driver costs, vehicle cleaners, administration, maintenance etc are higher than a flat bed wagon.

True

Cost to us if all the coach is full is over £5 a head, we have to charge slighty over so as to cover the cost if we dontt fill the coach, like on some accasions we havent . Lisa cant foot the bill. So we make about 50p per person,. extra and it all goes into LISA..... which all ends up being spent on players.

Cant argue with that DJ

Over the season with non member paying slighty more we will end up making a few hundred pounds

I don't think anyone would expect or want you to run it at a loss.

FWIW the cost doesn't seem too bad to me*, just out of interest which coaches haven’t been filled?






* not as good as my free truck though

Well I'd say your prices are about right then.

I can understand the Fev re-arrange game not being full mid week an all that, like wise Swinton again some people don't like to drive a 'long way' on motorways but will happily drive to Swinton, and that's why you may struggle with the Widnes one.

Its a good price Linda is like to see anyone get there in the same time on public transport, then you dont have to park your car miles away, you can have a drink etc....

Dont think the price is bad at all, I will be booking 2 places on monday for myself and the sprog.

Yes and I'm sure our lot will be wanting their usual 5/6 seats as well. On the subject of the price and for comparison. A seat on the coach to our first ever SL away match at Warrington cost £5.... Over four years ago.

Think it's a fair enough price. We'll be booking on it again

Think it's par for the course, personally, though I think I'll be driving anyroad.

2 seats for us




Just been having a look at the quotes I got a few months ago for a coach to Widnes:

Cheapest (49 seaters) £350 = £7.14 per seat
Dearest £450 = £9.18 per person

The cost per person would need to be higher to cover any possible empty seats so the cost would have to be approx £8.50 'ish per person. Then to allow LISA members a discount the price would have been about £8 members / £9 non-members.
So I think we are getting a very good price.

The only cheaper method would have been to hire a double decker bus for £320 (73 seats) whilst it is only a 30 minute journey.

I dont think its bad. Ask your self this. If your boss asked you to work sunday for single time, would you be happy. The lad or lady driving you probably would not have been able to go for a pint on saturday night either. I once tried to organise a coach to Leeds to watch Genesis. It was slow and old, but cheap. Never again. I'll leave it to the people who know.

To be honest the last couple of weeks have been horrendous, ive been very busy at work and Kaths been ill. We had 3 away games in close sucession.
And before ANYONE ASKS no we arent doing one to Toulouse. However I will be enquiring about two for the Gatehead game.
1 to go on the day and one for the weekend which we are doing.

Its been spot on as far as I'm concerned. I know last season a couple of coaches had to be subsidised through lack of demand, and this season there have definitely been more people booking on the coach - you must be doing summat right!!!

Let us know what the plan is for Gateshead - our lot are on about doing a weekender - not booked owt yet but hoping to sort summat soon.

That seems very expensive to Widnes it only costs about £6 in fuel in a car and you can take 4 people with you!! and its only £1.50 cheaper than going to wakefield how do they work that out when its about 5 times the distance?????

Not having a go in anyway just seems to be a touch expensive and i know the coach company sets the price not you)


I suppose you would pay anything to get out of wigan i mean Leigh. ha ha

I take my eldest to every Widnes game. I use it to motivate him to reach his potential in life.





































I explain that if he wastes his opportunities he will end up in a hole like Widnes. I have done this for the past 3 years, he has gone from 'D' to'A+' grades. I recommend this to any parent.

Bit behind the times there chappy, do you think the likes of Asda pay X2 for Sunday workers. You'll probably find it is rota based, and sometimes it's tough luck and you get the weekends

Ours is in hand, we have a travel agent among us looking and Im going to ask on the coaches to see how many would be interested in a weekender coach as everyone can sort their own hotels out.

All Im saying now is this, these are the prices we have to run at, Im sorry if its too expensive or not as good value as previous coaches, but as previuosly said its out of our hands.
I need to have enough people booked on this coach by Wed or Ill have to cancel it, Ill be asking tonight whos definately booking on it, so as Ill have an idea if they ll be enough, theres an option of a 37 seater, so I must get at least 35 to be able to run the Widnes coach.

Im def getting 2 tickets on monday.

you certainly have to pay more to watch the Rugby

The bus to Toulouse would be quite expensive eh? Someone at one of the clubs asked if they were runnning a mini bus to the Toulouse game fromEngland!
