Bus to Dublin City game - Thurs 28th July Kick-Off 7.45pm

At the trust meeting tonight we've decided to go ahead and book the bus for next Thursday to go support the lads at the Dublin City game. The game will be in Richmond Park. We are going to book a 50 seater bus and this trip can be made financially feasible if a minimum of 20 people go. So all that remains is for people to decide whether to go or not next week. Alternative sitting at home watching rapid tele text :D

We'll try advertise as much as possible but as always word of mouth is always the best form of getting info out there so spread the word to anyone you might think is interested in going to the game. It's games like these where supporters are needed so hopefully the response will be good.

Bus will be leaving at 3.30pm from The Showgrounds. Sorry to post another thread on this but just want to ensure it's get noticed by all.

IMO a 4-00 departure is leaving it a little tight to make it to Richmond Park.

yeah well hopefully we'd get enough to go. like all we need is 20 at 20 a head really to make it feasible. so hopefully at least 20 of us will be going. otherwise would be hefty enough to cover .

I know of about 8 so far who are going. So spread the word lads.

well we wanted to give everyone a chance to be able to go. some people finish work at 4, some at 5. so amount of time to be taken off is minimal. game is on at 7:45pm and a straight run should be 3 hrs. worst case scenario would be arriving just b4 kick-off. going to athlone was a tad delayed too but we got there just in time.

4 sharp is the departure time. i.e everyone on bus and gone.

Gary how much is the bus on thursday?

I have a lift organised for friday back from Dublin to Sligo.

I was considering taking my 2 children on thursday on the bus.

taken a few more bookings. the bus will be 15euro for adults based on more than 20 adults. for young kids we'll keep it cheaper than that. I'd say ten euro for two kids. We dont want to make it too dear for families to go.

So maybe:-

Adults : � 15
* Kids : � 5
U-18's : �10

* accompanied by an Adult

Also bus leaving at 3.30pm and not 4 as previously stated. So far pickup points are Mooney's, Collooney, Drumfin, and maybe Castlebaldwin. (awaiting feedback)
