Bus to Galway Game - Friday August 5. kick-off 7:45

**garykelly** · 29/07/2005, 9:50 AM

There is a supporters bus going to the Galway game on Friday 5th of August 05. The game kicks-off at 7:30pm. The bus is departing from outside The Showgrounds at 4:30pm sharp. Pick-up's (en-route) can be pre-arranged if needed. Cost of the bus would be €15 depending on how many want to go. A full bus would make it €10 euro.

I realise this game is only a stone throw down the road and alot will travel by car, so I'd appreciate if numbers for a bus could be sorted as soon as possible. Credit to everyone who travelled on the bus to Dublin, it was a good trip despite some delays leaving Dublin. Good on ye lads.

dont appreciate the notion that its been left to the last minute. this bus was always going. Numbers arent an issue as long as people want the bus and dont mind paying a few quid extra for it. been very busy all week and its prob first week where trust has taken the back seat. the trust site lists the bus as confirmed and has done so since the friday after the dublin game.

my numbers is in the public domain and u all know my name so any queries shud be phoned or txt'd to me. i'm not online every day.

Sorry about that Gary, I thought numbers was always an issue and if there wasn't enough then I thought that it woudn't be going. Sorry!

Should have made more info available on the bus. The Monaghan game yielded a float that we held to cover bus costs that werent met in away games after that. So we could book buses and then numbers wouldnt be an issue until this float expired. The dublin game cost the trust €20 only from this float which was good but looks like the remainder will be used to travel tonight

So on the basis that there will be no float for the next bus, then it will go dependant on numbers until a float is established again and so on. If we make money on away trips we can then guarantee a bus. The trust cant guarantee a bus and then be in a situation where money is owed in the case where no float is available. Away travel is a very important thing for people who want to go to games. So hopefully we will be able to keep it going.

Even with only 4 trips to Athlone, Monaghan, Dublin, Galway, this year has seen more buses going to rovers away games than in the past 5,6 years.
