Or as charlton lifers could we not set up a DISASTER FUND those who would like to we could put in £2,£5 a month each and when things like this happen we would in a way turn an incident like this into a bit of a postive for fans like adrian
I wouldn't wanna pay for other peoples mistakes who then complain about it and make themselves look like a twat
It is. Because Adrian has made one slagging post and run. Why has he not followed up with any other comments... but just let everyone bitch for him.
Strange.
That's because i'm not at home. I posted from an Internet cafe never imagining I would get so much reaction. a - We always sit in the front car when arriving from Charing X, so it takes 4 or 5 minutes to get to the crossing at the level of the Barbican and not 8. b - If the coach had left at exactly 8, I would have been frustrated but would have had little to complain. c - Ofcourse had I been seen, the coach would not have left. My only problem is that when pulling out driver could have had a last look. d - I live abroad and only go to 3-4 away games per season, always by coach.
We could talk about this all day with the rights and the wrongs. However, without sideing one way or another, if it was me I would have no complaints as I was late. If coach/train/plane is leaving at a certain time it is upto us to be there on time. As an aside, comments on this thread slating Adrian from a certain individual are uncalled for. This is done on a regular basis, not necessary. Hopefully this situation will be resolved and Adrian can write this one off down to experience and can continue to enjoy future away games with this mode of transport
Right we now have the full picture Adrian is not a regular as he lives abroad. More understandable why it left, as myself and Buckshee said in our day we knew each other and if we were late the others would have said something. This was not the case with Adrian but as Buckshee says what a load of selfish sods we have. What would your responses have been if it had been Betty or Large's parents who were 5 minutes late.
mr northstand looks like a tough sholud of been here at 8 me and you would have a punch up because i would of said Buckshee should be here at 8 and im missing 5 extra minutes in the pub
My posts usually go unnoticed so I'm flattered I got so many reactions, as harsh as they might be. Before being sentenced, I would like to add the following: -Coach was not facing the station so neither the driver nor the passengers had a clear view in front of them and probably no passenger was aware there was one 'no show'. -Although my responsibility in being late is minimal - irrelevant to explain why - I don't expect the coach to wait for anyone. Had the coach left before my arrival or even when I emerged from the station, I'm big enough to take it on the chin and move forward. I have no complaints to make, just that little problem of having been so close and deliberately crossing the road outside the pedestrian crossing to make sure I was seen. I should probably have put the stress on that last point in my post, my only concern really. Because I have a pathological non-adult spiteful character, i'll sulk for a very long time and do what I wrote: no more coaches. Maybe I'm confirming Nathan Prior's opinion of me. I'll live with that, we've got 91 points so it'll be a good week.

You are not confirming the opinion of what Mr Prior thinks of you.
If he does not know you Adrian he is in no position to make comments such as he has.
Yesterday was this first time in over 10 years that I've used the coach. I thought the service was excellent and I'd definitely use it again. It was clean, comfortable and got us there without any problems whatsoever. And at less than 4p per mile it represents fantastic value. Well done to everyone involved in putting these on and thank you.
