The coach is now confirmed with the deposit paid, and I am meeting them on Monday at 9am to sort out all the details. I would say maybe 8pm but as I say will confirm. We now have 18 booked.

DRFC no1, why the negativity?
Here is Marv busting a gut to get Pars fans to a game and all you can do it whinge.
If it’s not to your taste, get there by your own means and keep your negativity to yourself.

Well why not keep that to yourself rather than try your spouting on something you won't even be booking for. What a miserable soul you must be.
Anyway 22 booked in just a few hours.
Oh and in the past the DASC have taken buses to Wembley for Scotland games and we survived.

I have done the trip to Wembley before and not all fans have mega bucks to spend on flights etc, so this is something within a price range to help fans. Plus we will have a few stops on the way down, and we'll be going straight there.
Cheers Bamba.

Good effort, a bit sad to be missing this one, will it be on Pars TV in Scotland being that Engerlandshire is a foreign country?

Well done Marv. One of the reasons that I still support the Pars from afar, are the memories of going to away games all over Scotland and England. Coming back from the Hawthorns by train overnight after beating West Brom in 1969 is something I will never forget. Supporters like you Marv are what makes the Pars such a great club.

We leave EEP at 9pm on Friday 7th and we have a pickup in Newcastle. Then straight on to Borehamwood with a few stops in between to replenish. We leave Borehamwood at 12.30pm on the Sunday for our return home. I would say to look at booking.com as they are pretty good with last minute prices. I think the Travelodge in Borehamwood had availability. Is it just the one seat you need?

I am sorting out a list today with a space for each person's accommodation. I would advis taking a neck pillow, I'll be taking mine, and a small fleece cover which you can leave on the bus. I will check with the coach company re the timing , however, I would guess with the refreshment stops , possibly 8am. We could always leave an hour later if people booked want that. x
