Your taking the piss but a good GIF,

Someone has cross bred Maguire and Penandez!

Companies love people like you who just pay the money without ever questioning how much. You crack on pal.

They are offering a service and you still moan you ****

 

[pride in battle]

Do the Maths and explain why this would even be worth the hassle as a money maker

Moaning fuckers, imagine living with these *****

 

[pride in battle]

Great idea. At least the club are trying to help us out.

Absolutely...

 

[Northerndave]

I love this idea, the only change i would make is allowing to purchase a ticket in advance. My stop is the last before the run in to the ground, so if it turned up full I'd be SOL and then struggle to get alternative transport

I don't have to use the service though, and I'll moan when i want you happy ****.

Call me cynical but I feel the club has collaborated with Manchester council to restrict free parking around the stadium so they can make even more money out of us with this scheme. All take and on the make, they're taking the piss.

Tinfoil hat has changed his user name ;-)

I’ve done a guesstimate that each bus will be taking roughly £420 in fares.

I’ve no idea how much it cost to pay a driver, hire a bus and the cost of whatever buses run on these days.

But if that figure is remotely accurate, nobody is making any great profit on it. If any.

It’s a great idea and credit to the club for organising it ,disappointed there isn’t one stop in Bolton though , We seem to be the only area in GM with nothing

Radcliffe too far away?

Such a pity the direct hourly train service Bolton to Ashton (Southport to Stalybridge) has no stop after Victoria. Only needs to be open weekends and evenings.

What if you’re under 65 and disabled?!?

Free… it states ‘And those with disabilities’… I take this to mean anybody with disabilities irrespective of age.

Well fuck off then !!

Agreed

Yep, and I reckon they won't be full

Where's the Preston stop?

Preston!

£6 return to Stalybridge is hardly a rip off mate.

That's the one problem I see. Allow people to book in advance, and that way it's easier to gauge demand.

They will, as long as the service is decent.

Route 13 Shaw, 14 Oldham pick up drop off is the bus stop near fire station on Briscoe Lane, not looked at others

There are FOUR drop off / pick up locations around the stadium, dependent upon route

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

£6 return to Stalybridge is hardly a rip off mate.

Fair enough pal. It's more reasonable than £8 i suppose but I'm better off buying a £5 day pass as i need to catch 2 buses to the stadium.

 

[Impeccable One]

Looks like you can’t pre-book, you just pay when you get on. That’s fine for people at the start of the route, but what happens if the bus is full before it gets to the later stops?

I’ll guarantee nobody is getting on line 4 at stop 4 in Cheadle. Bus will be full by then.
