R.I.P. The Mini Bus (2007-2010)

It was decided at our last committee meeting that the time has now come to scrap our mini bus. Next month would have seen us pay over £1500 on insurance, road tax and break down cover and this was all before it took it’s M.O.T, a test that it looked deemed to fail.

Coupled with the fact that the mini bus has not been regularly used this season due to us being allocated more tickets for away games, meant that this was seen as money wasted.

The mini bus was purchased with the help of MJ Builders & AS Roofing during the first season in League one, when we sometimes struggled to gain tickets for some away games and when we were over subscribed for home matches. Despite the fact that it needed a little push every now and then the mini bus allowed both supporters and the club to keep costs down when travelling mainly down South to away matches in League One.

This is not to say costs will now rise, we will now hire a mini bus from a local firm which we did for the last match against Ipswich Town, which saw adults members pay just £25, not bad for a 500+ mile round trip.

Below is a place for you to pay your tributes and record all the great memories of your times travelling in ‘her‘, I doubt she will be missed by many.

*Cue stick from the Darlo Whites for having a superior mini bus*

  2. and a superior flag...

    Funniest memories had to be either Kile being sick at York train station after Sean had gassed everyone on board with an outrageous fart.

    The great escape from Colchester car park, via a few games of footy and some well planned entrance use.

    The bus breaking down coming back from one away game, us all getting out to push it only for Sean to sit in the bugger eating a KFC. Talk about making life hard....

    RIP :-(
