Oh, and edited as wondering where the profit goes?? I guess not the club?

The profit goes to supporters clubs like Rhos and District reds and then to Wrexham afc.

That's excellent then, thanks for the reply.

.

People forget sometimes the organiser can end up out of profit due to let downs and then who covers the losses ? The organiser probably, happened to me with Brentford away, in fairness the ones on the bus had a whip round when they found out as I would not ask them to cover the drop outs but I still lost £80 out of my own pocket. Hope you have a great day

I will be travelling by train, an email has been sent to Virgin trains to see if they will give some profit to the club from my journey. The figure you give of £200 to £300 is way off the mark.

Seconded. All free choice.
If you want to go official coach do that.
If you want to go on a fans coach do that.
Likewise if you go by plane, train or automobile.... Whatever.

All I'd say is from recall only once in recent years has a none official coach got turned round, Grimsby away wasn't it, and there were arguments both ways about that at the time as well, so it's not right in my view to really use that as an argument against fans who choose to go on none official coaches but who are still supporting the club.

I take the idea of being an owner of the club very seriously (as those that know me on here will attest) and try to ensure where I can I support it fully. Once again I'll reiterate, people are absolutely free to travel however they like. If your friend shopped around he'd find there are cheaper alternatives and the cost to you guys would be less. Safe travels however you get there.

Official travel can be dodgy to , 4 of us should have been picked up in rossett for the trophy final that we lost waited almost two hours for the bus , that dident come We got a refund , But it was more about the day ,
Pete Jones promised us a treat for the last game of the season , we never got .
So much for Official init ?

That coach was illegally turned round by the police....those on it have fought their case with help from the Football Supporters Federation and are due to receive £500 plus associated costs from said police in the near future...i wasn't on it but was on another of our fans run coaches who had a good day out in the pubs and bars on Cleethorpes seafront with again some children with us Mr Doom and Gloom...

It's Doomandgloom, no Mr required thanks.
That's brilliant for all those inconvenienced needlessly and rightly so.
Fourth time of trying for those clearly struggling to read my comments, I stated my preference, I'm not the travel police, travel howsoever you like.
Although I'm now wondering, as it has clearly hit a nerve, how much was donated to Rhos reds last season from the profits of the buses? Surely someone who either organises them or someone from Rhos Reds will easily identify this amount and we can all celebrate the success. I know that for some time a decent amount was raised each season when Rhos Reds were organising it.
