I was on the Cheadle coach.I saw the Cheadle bus right at the front and thought they would be the 1st to get away and probably home for 10
I was on the Cheadle coach.
Back in Cheadle for 10:15. Not too bad when compared with the horror stories on this thread, but the initial crawl to the Motorway seemed like an eternity
OSC coach set off at 7am. Parked next to Pink Car Park opposite Costco. Arrived via Uxbridge sports centre at 14.15 and got to seat 5 mins before ko. Didn't get off car park until 19.25 due to weight of traffic and absolute incompetence of high viz wankers and indifferent coppers. One 15 minute stop where a bus full of red wankers were using a City stop with a Police escort and still looking to kick off with blues. 5 hours to get home from London was an utter joke. That area for coach parking is a complete farce and not fit for purpose, let alone the national stadium. Its fucking shameful the lack of organisation and planning for the Premier FA competition final. The local council should be fucking carpeted for complete incompetence. Didn't help the coach seating was stolen from an economy variant of a 737 where the seats were apparently for 12 year old with short legs. I was not a happy camper.
One of the real issues with OSC coaches is they are also very boringThey got us there, they got us back and that is about it. Every single minute in-between was fucking purgatory. Unless I can fly for a reasonable price or get the train there I'm watching it on the box in future. Never, ever will I do a coach again
I'm a boring old fart and even our bus was deader than I thought possible. The trouble I have is that I can't drink more than a couple of cans of beer on a coach, it just knocks me sick, and shorts are a non-starter, so it was probably the right choice for me. There was one young lad on ours who was necking them down all the way home but he was also the only one risking the toilets too with its hidden flush mechanism - nobody found it - so every time the coach accelerated you had to move back sharpish to avoid the piss as it threatened to escape its confines.One of the real issues with OSC coaches is they are also very boring
No real music, no drinking, no atmosphere. They follow too many rules, ok the drinking is not allowed , we know that but to sit on a coach with nothing going on is bad and makes the journey drag
Glad i was chucked off years ago for drinking a can, started doing my own and I pretty confident to say people who come on my coaches from Middleton, the ones from Heyside and Rusholme etc all enjoy it. They always come back
Try parking at Wealdstone, believe me it really is the way forwardWent on Coach against dippers last year
Went in car on Saturday and so much better
Wembley is a fucking nightmare to get away from though
