Message from the Supporters Club:You will no doubt be aware of the significant damage inflicted on our official Supporters Club coaches when departing from Tranmere last Saturday.
Unfortunately, this is not the first occasion that mindless thugs have targeted our coaches which are operated by Reptons. The cost of the repairs for this latest incident is some £10,000, bringing the total cost of repairs for these incidences to around £15,000.
We have had lengthy discussions with Reptons, but they have decided that their business cannot sustain the risk of further such occurrences and they have consequently withdrawn from providing Supporters Club coaches for at least the remainder of this season.
Both Supporters Club and Reptons very much regret that we find ourselves in this position. It deprives true fans of an essential service and is a real blow to a local firm trying to support our local Club. It is no way a reflection on the fans of our Club.
We will now try to secure the services of another coach firm, although it is unlikely that we will be able to offer future coach travel as competitively as our contract with Reptons.
We will issue a further announcement as soon as we can.
