Away Supporter Travel Update

Last updated : 23 October 2007 By Stray Shots Team

Following news that the company used by the Football Club to provide transport to away games had gone bankrupt, the club have found a new contractor for the remaining games this season.

The fares now quoted are reflecting an overall fair spread of cost to away
grounds, we are sure that by adding a small but painless fare increase on
the nearer grounds, will help absorb some of the potentially higher cost
to matches further a field.

The new companies vehicles have seat belts fitted to all vehicles, on-board toilets, TV facilities and reclining seats.
