shepton red Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 With the Milwall game being our last away fixture of the season and potentially an extremely important game, I thought I would lay the first seed of thought to get free transport. Would be a cracking place to gain promotion.Yes I know I am getting ahead of myself, but to go there and have to win....we would take masses.

shepton red Posted March 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 He didnt to Barnsley a few seasons ago..We took thousands there!Perhaps he might this year as its a tad closer.That was a cracking day out. Without taking the **** I really do think the Club should make this gesture, it would be a bit of a thank you for putting up with 3rd div football for so long. Additionally, I would imagine the OB would prefer us to travel in organised coaches than on our own steam, something for you to ponder upon Mr L.

Enoch Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 or if we were already promoted at that time, i think he will be feeling more generous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Would be a fantastic gesture by Mr Lansdown to lay on free coach's or atleast discounted because to lay on free coach's for 4,000 fans is a lot of money, plus it would be easier for the police to handle, although I'm planning to go by train free/discounted coach's would be more than tempting!

scumbag Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 yeah, don't we just encourage the thugish element of fans to go to the game to cause trouble.money can be used elsewhere within the club, if fans CARE enough about going to support the boys they will do it, with or without such gestures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC 1645 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Armoured cars more likeI'm not sure I fancy a kicking from Bermondsey's finest either. So for me it's a toss up between a WWII German King Tiger or a WWII Soviet Union Stalin tank for my trip to East London..... ......The Josef Stalin tank?...Or Adolf Hitler's King Tiger?....

cider11 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 free coaches wouldnt affect me, as don't live anywhere near to bristol to be able to use it, as would be 180 miles to bristol just for a free coach or just 70miles to london. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would fancy my chances if one was driven to Bermondsey.That's if it could make it there. While German tanks were possibly the best of all forces, they were also prone to breakdown and were hard to fix given their complex engineering.I'd opt for a fleet of B17,s and a para drop!

BCFC Grim Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm with TC, much more enjoyable on the train. Looking forward to this game.

Just one point, the German King Tiger tanks were often assembled by slave workers from the territories occupied by the NAZI German Third Reich. Sabotage was common and would often only show up at an inappropriate moment in battle. Under restoration many WWII German tanks still bear the marks of sabotage - fag butts stuffed in fuel lines, faulty cogs in the gearbox etc. I'll therefore opt for the Russian Red Army Stalin tank as I don't want to be breaking down at an inopportune moment in Bermondsey High Street with Millwall around. The German King Tiger in the piccie below looks like it's broken down with mechanics swarming over it.....The Red Army Stalin tank has better reliability and a decent turret mounted machine gun.......

With armoured cars, cider supply trucks and the Peter Carol coaches following it'll be quite a sight. We may, for once, get into and out of Bermondsey unscathed for once.

ciderup Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 One minor problem.The away end at Millwall is 'limited use' only ie you cannot use the lower tier since Liverpool used it a couple of years ago and all hell broke loose.We will only be allocated the top tier which holds about 2500. Went there a while ago when Jimmy Nicholl was their manager and a peaceful protest turned nasty.took ages to get away from the ground and it was unpleasant even then.The tank idea sounds like a good one to me though!

Barrs Court Red Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Lads I think we need to learn some lessons from history. Heavy armour in an urban setting? Look at the mess of Starlingrad. The only time I can think of a major success using this method would probably be the recon in force that thrust into Bagdad a few years ago, and that was only facing little in the way of resistance.I do however, have a cunning plan..........
