Free coaches.

Got back at 22.45, up the M1 then over Woodhead. More dehydrated than anything as we had not had a drink of any kind since before KO at15.00.

If they don't allow you to leave food and drink on the coach and don't stop at services surely they should at least have bottles of water on the coach. There were 2 young lads (16 ish on their own) who hadn't eaten anything all day as their coach down got there too late to pick anything up before KO , they were begging him to pull in somewhere so they could get some food, even just a 10 min stop and he refused.
 
Got back at Etihad 11:15 .. home for 12:30 .. back via Leeds stopped at Watford gap .. full of bindippers .. and up to their normal standards . A Coach window got shattered
 
Got back.at the etihad just after midnight. Don't think I'll use this option again haha
 
Left at 8am and arrived at ground at 1pm, including 15 min stop near East Midlands. Left at end of game coach was away by 5.30 at back at Etihad via Woodhead by 9.45 with a 15 min stop on way back. All fine although drop offs on way back would have been nice to save a walk home afterwards ;)
 
think we were one of first coaches back, via M1 and Woodhead, arrived Etihad 9:35 and home at 10:10

I can see how just filling the coaches and getting away worked well, the issue is the no stops and no food. At least ours was selling bottles of water
 
It was a bit of a long journey down there but it was my 40th on Good Friday and I’d been out on the piss on Thursday night and was drinking all day at my parents’ on Friday and I’d had about 6 hours sleep in two nights, so I slept pretty much the entire journey down there (think I fell asleep at Leeds and woke up at Watford).

I stayed to the end to applaud the team and I was on the very back row at the very top of the stadium and still made it down to one of the first coaches that left, and our coach was back at the Etihad for 21:30.

Don’t know what everyone else’s experiences were, but mine was fine. Don’t know how it took some coaches so long, the M1 was a breeze on the way back.
 
Got back at 11.15 so all in all no complaints from us.
Just them rats at services on the M1 where apparently they shouldn’t be on
 
Also returned at 11:15 with a stop at the Watford gap services, bunch of dippers jumping on tables chanting and slamming vending machines turned into a fight before getting pushed out by a security worker, no stop on the way down which lasted 5 hours
 
Going, went via Snake, slightly over 3.5 hrs to reach Brent Cross roundabout, another half hour to reach the inaccessible shithole that is Wembley Stadium. Back at 11-15 after the 30min interlude and dust up at Rugby Services.
 
There was a serious crash on the m42 traffic at a stand still load of city fans piled of coach and started scrapping with some scouse fans I think in the middle of the motorway! Punching people and cars from what I could see. I drove had right laugh with my mates other than that it was a pretty horrible day the violence I saw was city fans fighting scousers. Who instigated it I don't know. Its just trouble all round wembley!

Did you leave at halftime? We're only in Leicester. Took us till about 8.30 to get out of London.

No issues with the way the coaches were organised. It was a bit of a free for all after the game but that happens.

Nope, left at the final whistle, walked down from the 35th row of the top tier, straight to the coach park and away in about 10 minutes :-)
 
We got back to the etihad at 9.50pm. Fuckers didn't stop though. Not good when no one had had a drink since prior to the game or half time. No shops near the pick up point. Everyone was asking the driver to make at least one stop so we could get drinks. Drivers gave zero fucks. Not good at all that. Treated like bloody animals. Never again!

Sure that weren’t the M40. Burnt out car on the southbound which was completely shut and the northbound down to 1 lane

delayed us by about 40 minutes
