Summer Tour

[Royal Lady]

If Bendy is up for driving the minibus again, I'll be IN!!! for this. Have just printed out the directions as they will be a great help - thanks Tmesis. Say we get a 16 seater but only take 12 people, that would allow for a couple of seats to be used as beds during the journey. If you are up for this trip, please sign below: If we leave by end of next week we should be there in plenty of time for July 5 and then we can just follow the team coach to the different grounds.

Does this allow for comfort breaks? Or should one of us bring a plastic bottle?

[Woodley-RFC]

Would love to head to this, Asia is an amazing place in general, but I think I'll have to miss this and go next year

Lisern u Cant drive a mini bus to thilland it will take weeks....

If you maintain a steady 70 then you can do it in about 5 days.

Even an average speed of 30 mph gets you there in a little over 10 days.

Where's your sense of adventure?

Common Dave man, get you backpack ready, we're going on a road trip

[Sutekh]

Hey now that would be dedication, take a good video camera with you and I'm sure there's some strand on BBC2, BBC4 or Channel 4 that'd be interested in making a programme out of it as well - and if you added a charity element e.g sponsored for every mile or 10 miles or 100 miles that are actually completed then it might become slightly easier to achieve .....

Perhaps next year's trip though so plenty of organisation can be made and maybe a bit of backing from Ford or someone could be arranged.

And Dave should go so he finally believes it is possible.

Should you bring your own table tennis balls though?

[Royal Lady]

Come on James/Dave - are you in or out, the minibus is filling up nicely. We'll get there in plenty of time, including comfort breaks for Hopeful (and me as I'll keep missing the bottle if I try and pee in one) - let me know on here asap - ta x

[Rea Ding]

With this long haul tour happening, how many pre season fixtures should we expect?

[3points]

What's james /Dave's role on the road trip. Is he in charge of snacks, beer, music or navigation? I guess not the latter

He is in charge of communications.

[Turns8]

Looks like all this talk from Dave/James about it not being possible is just a smokescreen and he's already got his own coach up and running...he's probably waiting for the details before trying to undercut the prices!!!!



How much are you charging Dave? How many spaces are left? When do you leave?

[Royal Lady]

Typical - we do all the arrangements, he slags it off saying it's impossible and all the time he is copying us but undercutting us because he owns his own coach. Can we do some sort of deal here James/Dave?

[Angry Shed Sex]

Braintree confirmed. Dave are you in?

[Kuhl_Runnings]

No need to worry though Dave, you're allowed to bring some sweeties with you. But not too much or you'll code brown and mummy will have to change you again silly billy !

[78royal]

Bring your umbrellas, it's full on monsoon season!

[Squelchy2507]

checked in for flight to Bangkok tomorrow. Can't wait. (yes I have packed my brolly)

[ayjaydee]

I'm jealous guys, went to Sweden and Korea but marriage in 2010 sort of took its toll on such extravagances.
Enjoy the experience and hopefully the football as well.

I believe BBC Berks are covering the game live, think it's noon on Wednesday UK time. Only caught half a mention on the station so far so not sure whether that's actual commentary or just updates during whatever programme is on air though.

They've sent Tim Dellor out there, so surely it must be a whole commentary. It'd be a heck of a waste sending him out just to give an update every 15 minutes or so.
