This sounds like a recipe for disaster. The last time we did this it was a total joke!! Its alright saying get there earlier but i pefer to have a couple of beverages elsewhere before i pay a visit to the SJE bar. Its also difficult if you are trying to encourage friends to come along, i can get my ticket before game day as i know i am going but they then need to queue for god knows how long. What a great way to try to get more fans down, especially when they see theres only approx 1000 watching!!!!

I suppose we will just have to wait and see.

The bus will be lucky to get there fo 2.30pm. Based on the pick up times, theres not much time to allow for hold ups or busy traffic etc..

The pick up times (for 3pm kick offs) are Carcroft (The Moon Inn) 1.35pm, Askern (Askern Timber) 1.45pm, Toll Bar ARLFC (on A19 outside club) 1.55pm, Bentley (Magnet) 2pm, Bentley (Tesco's, High Street) 2.05pm, Bentley (The Drum) 2.08pm, Bentley (Good Companions) 2.10pm, Town Centre (Church View, opposite Tesco) 2.15pm.

Only one bus provided in the agreement. How the route was decided I don't know.

We must be the poor relations..

Sure it's only a test to start with and if it works, they might expand the service?

The majority of fans will turn up with less than half an hour to kick-off----always have and always will.
All i'm saying is that if there's a large queue at the ticket office that put even one supporter off then it's a bad decision.

It will only take the new match day bus that's scheduled to arrive at 2:30pm and people leaving the St-John Ellis Bar around that time for a queue to form-------i hope i'm wrong.

Is it a ploy to get more people to buy season tickets..

Or is it the Stadium Management taking over and Bo**oxing thing up ..

Will the Fev fans be aware as they will not be a happy bunch if they miss the ko.

Yes, I have this unfortunate vision of groups of disgruntled away supporters trooping back from the turnstiles towards the ticket office.
