Stagecoach bus refuse to pick up football supporters.


Recommended Posts

Us lot that got left at the official bus stop did not want to go to Town:mad:.

All we wanted was to go home on the only bus that goes any where near our district the 79a. No alternative! no bus.

 

So as to Sheffield Wednesday putting on buses then let all clubs do it ,in fact let all business's do the same ,all clubs, chain stores, pubs, dog tracks, universities and steel works.

They all make millions don't they

 

The 'to town' part was for Julado's comments about the Y5 bus, during the tramworks... which is clearly a separate issue to your issue with the bus company not picking you up on a different route, away from town.

 

Regarding the money, it was you that raised the owls losing £5m a year - money is no longer an issue for the owls.

Some other poster posted that the Owls should pay for folks to use buses as they made millions ,I pointed out that they in fact lost millions.

And that! we pay to use the buses any way.

Just a quick update on this.

 

Today, First are providing 8 extra buses to carry football supporters to the match and from it at Hillsborough. They are also making sure all buses on local services are double deckers. The stagecoach drivers will not have to park at Malin Bridge for quite so long whilst waiting for the crowds to disperse.

I've seen these goons ripping the doors off the tram at Hillsborough, no sympathy really! I don't see why normal people should put up with this disgraceful behaviour from football 'supporters'

 

I think youll find they were millwall fans that were ripping tram doors off as you put it..........
