Dunno if they still do it, but sometimes the police used to check coaches for alcohol. It's illegal to be in possession of alcohol on a football coach.

If you'd been going to football 20-25 years ago, you would know why the rule was brought in.

 

[Lako42]

But the law (the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc) Act 1985) has not been repealed.

By law coaches and minibuses travelling to games should be free of alcohol - you're not even allowed to carry alcohol onto the coaches, let alone drink it.

Trains were different in that they had to be 'designated' as dry. A train was 'designated' if it was thought likely that it would be used by travelling fans. Once a train had been designated nobody on it was allowed to carry or drink alcohol even if they hated football and had no intention ever of going to a match.

Of course trains are rarely if ever designated now, so it is allowable to drink on the train - but it is still against the law on coaches and minibuses (all of them!)

Good idea if you can - the away area is next to the river, and the front rows are open to the side. Lovely cool breeze will be blowing in!

 

[Fox Fan]

No Special Deal Then !!

£15.50 STH Adults
£13.50 STH Concessions

£1 more for non STH

id travel any other way if it wasnt so unreliable. think they are cashing in on that fact.

I dont really see what your complaining about? This is much cheaper than the train to London. For 2 tickets (one child on one young persons) from Birmingham new street to London Euston is at least £45 one way! Then I've got to get from euston to the ground, which you wont because the coaches will drop you off right outside.

So how is this 'such a rip off'?

Sometimes I feel like the club can't do anything right for some.
