Coach Etiquette

edited March 2012 in Match Day Travel
I've booked coach tickets for my son and myself for the Huddersfield game. I havn't been to an away match by coach since the Cardiff v Charlton 1984 on lewis coaches and have a few questions.

Does the gallon Juice bottle still get passed around if you need a pee?

Are you allowed to have a beer on the coach?

If the coach suffers a puncture, will the driver expect the passengers to change the tyre ?

Is it safe to leave things on the coach (such as your jacket).

What time does the coach usually get to the ground, will I have a chance to take in the huddersfield culture?

    You have to piss in the bottle but make sure you don't get it mixed up with the bottles of home brew getting passed around, The coach normally gets there with a bit of time to be spare aslong as it hasn't been smashed up by some other mob at the service stations, Don't leave anything on the coach...The local kids will have a field day if you do.

    Toilets on the coaches. No alcohol allowed, the coach can turned back if found. Usually get to the ground an hour before on average, but can be between 1.5 hrs & 15 mins.

    If my experiences of home brew are typical, drinking piss would be a safer and more pleasant option.

    A Hip flask is your safest bet.

    Be sure to make the most of your one hour service stop at Watford Gap, maybe even take a cheesy photo or two next to the North/South divide sign.

    Those sixty minute stops are always a highlight. Sod going to any pubs before the games, it's all about the £1.75 a bottle of Diet Coke in Smith's.

    If you're on the Bromley coach, Jean will kindly make everyone a cup of tea.

    So come along if you can handle that.

    Hahahaahah.

    I would have been tempted to have given em a quid just before the coach was about to leave the services and hoped they missed getting on in time!

    On a side note, i remember going to Notts forest a few years back and we missed the first like 15/20 mins of the match. A boring 0-0 aswell!

    Yes, had to shield my young son and his mate under my coat from a barrage of missiles raining dowm on us! Remember signing 'You'll never get a ticket' on the way out for the replay at the 8k capacity three sided Valley in those days. Think they had had a tear up with the spanners the week before and thought we were fair game cockneys for revenge. Think it was Big fat Peter Garland who got the equaliser and booked for jumping on the railings in front of us.
