Roughly what time does the STAR cabin open before kick off on Saturday?

Also, just so I have some idea for work the following day, what time would it be anticipated that the coaches will get back to the Mad Stad on the Thursday morning?

I can answer the first - usually from around 12 midday.

No idea about the second I'm afraid

Not an official answer, but I've heard the expectation of about 4 am mentioned, which makes sense as it'll be about 5-6 hours from Newcastle by coach.

I'm going by car and not expecting to be back until after 2 am, and caoches take that little bit longer.

Are we sold out on coach places yet? If not how many left and would there be a second executive coach laid on if the first is sold out?

All our coaches for our Newcastle trip are execs. However we have only a few places left as we have only four coaches at our disposal at this moment in time. So you need to book asap to be sure. Because of the time & distance we require two drivers per coach, that means the coach company will effectively have eight drivers booked out to our contract for two days. It is also a school day and they are contracted for school runs. so driver availability is limited.

exec coaches cost a lot more money so we need to be able to fill them.

Thanks for that - looks like I'm going to be down the STAR cabin at 7.30 tomorrow then!

Is there any news on coaches? Has there been a fifth coach found?

STAR TRAVEL · by **STAR TRAVEL** » 26 Nov 2006 21:43

No, the situation as previously stated has not changed. If we have any cancellations those on the standby list will be informed.

Another coach for Newcastle has been confirmed today. Details of any remaining seats will be publicised as soon as those on the standby list have confirmed their seats.

Can anyone confirm if there will be any places left on any coach to Newcastle? I heard there are still a few match tickets left but will need some way affordable to get there!

STAR TRAVEL · by **STAR TRAVEL** » 04 Dec 2006 20:14

No we filled our last coach on Saturday.

Will it be ok to leave stuff on the coach when we're not on it? CD players and stuff? What time will we arrive in Newcastle 'cos there seems to be loadsa time for us to get there, also any semi accurate time for when we get back, i know 4am has been mentioned, but if you could get a more specific time that'd be great.

Scrappy · by **Scrappy** » 04 Dec 2006 22:17

Yes you can leave stuff on the coach, it's quite normal for people to take bags and leave them on there.

You can leave things on the coach but its at your own risk, we take no responsibility for peoples personal belongings. As to when we arrive in Newcastle, as always that depends on traffic, motorways and police instructions. The same applies for the return journey.
