I think it is safe to say that there will be no bus running to the Dundalk game.
As we have said in the past, (and I think we have been quite clear on this) that we would have no problems running a bus on the premise that we were guarunteed to fill at least 2/3 of the bus. Otherwise, it is not viable to run a bus and we would be the ones to take a financial hit. As happened for the last game a trust bus ran to the galway game.
Also, trust members are not logged in every day (as we do have to work as well), therefore, there can be a time delay on responses if we are directly asked questions.

Come on the bit of red.

true but how do you gauge that demand ? what i mean to say is how do you go about assessing whether or not u could get a bus to be at least 2/3 full

This is very dissapointing, was told by akearins (member) there would be a bus to all away games! wen will gary kelly be back? seems to be the only one who can organise something!!

Thanks for the response jstuff but in fairness how are ye going to get interest in a bus if ye dont advertise it? Did ye put anything in the scene newspaper like ye normally do? Was it put on the trust's website? Did ye put anything about this on the Rovers website or Ocean Fm? Did any of ye take names at the last game on Saturday? I think all the answers to my questions are no so I'll ask ye again, how are ye going to get interest in a bus if ye dont advertise it?
