Dont want to offend anyone over the Commercial bus for away games. But the Batley fans i know from the Mount would not be ok with not drinking before a game, especially the 4 hour trips to Cumbria. I have heard many fantastic stories from away trips from other fans and wouldn't mind sampling a 'Coma Bus' away day. Basically i was just wondering if there was anyone out there who wants to have a Coma bus reunion. also feel free to share your Coma bus stories to help encourage other people to have a boozey bus trip to watch the Dogs

one of the EARLY TRIPS. somebody had to walk around nottingham city ground..mid winter and sub zero wearing a pair of shorts due to the fact that his jeans had been thrown out of the skylight of the bus BY HIS MATE. That day we did get a record away win.
the day the coma bus went up to whitehaven and the driver on the way back was drinking pint for pint..guimess in yates's blackpool with everybody..mr bob his name.
when coming back from chorley borough and we were in liverpool before the driver(and everybody else) realised that he had gone west instead of east on the m62. happy days.

I dont know about a coma bus.
When we went on the supporters bus years ago,we had along with us lovely people like Malcolm shuttlesworth's mother and the elder Mr Winner.Among such austere company,alcohol was not even considered.

Indeed, but there was a young rebellious group to be found on the back seat, led by none other than a certain K. Nicholas, who I remember more than once being dropped off late at night, after some never ending journey to Cumbria or some such place, on some deserted motorway bridge near Manchester in nothing more than jeans and a T-Shirt.
I think that experience has proven to be great experience for those winter walks around the pitch in his shirt sleeves!

i used to get picked up and dropped off at some deserted motorway roundabout in manchester and remember on more than one occassion of waiting at top of the slip road for an age and police turning up telling me coach has broken down and that they were waiting for a replacement ... the days of A lyles and sons coaches
