I am a Banana 0 Posted August 7, 2011 Yeah they make a stop, it used to be a the farm shop (this was 2/3 seasons ago) but I''d wait for a reply from a more regular away coach user!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Holt 522 Posted August 7, 2011 Most of the coaches have toilets as far as I''m aware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are the ''ungrateful'' ones, those fans that prefer to attend away matches - who prefer to travel there by alternative means? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted August 7, 2011 Well the fans on here, who continually moan about the coach service offered by the club.You may or may not have noticed two posters on here recently trying to arrange there own coach travel, and finding it to be very expensive, so the deal NCFC offer, is actually decent value it seems.If you want to travel by train or car or any other method then fine, but why do you have to complain about the NCFC coaches, ''club cabbage'' is just insulting to the people who use those coaches.

A printed A4 sized note affixed to the windows next to the passenger doors of the first few ''cabbage'' coaches, stating, "Regular Away Supporters Only".....What''s all that about?..... On an occasion when arriving early to catch a cabbage, being informed by some self-appointed ''usher'' when we were about to sit in some vacant/unoccupied/unclaimed seats aboard a ''cabbage'' charabanc..."Can''t sit there chum, they aren''t here yet, but that''s Billy''s, Bob''s, Beryl''s or Brian''s seat.....He/she or they, always sit there".... I''m sure there are many decent ''cabbages'' who travel on ''club cabbage''.....Although, it''s certainly not for me.....But, do feel free to defend those that travel on cabbage....

Jim of the Fens 0 Posted August 7, 2011 I have travelled a few times when none of my usual cohorts want to go, picked up the coach each time at Barton Mills, never had a problem with it, A sight better and cheaper than driving alone. On each occasion I have known people on board also. Its a historic thing to knock the service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, I''m sure the marketing boys at Carrow Road won''t have failed to notice that coach travel is suddenly a whole new ball game now they''re selling a Premiership brand club.

......and Smith must score. 1,343 Posted August 7, 2011 [quote user="Mello Yello"]Premiership diesel? Can''t the coaches go green and be converted to run on cabbage water?...... [/quote]Excellent suggestion! Going back to the OP''s query on comfort breaks why bother to stop for a break at all ? The on-board WC would provide a handy reserve of bio-degadable fuel - should the cabbage harvest fail - and fans on board the now non-stop service could be under constant NCFC surveillance in compliance with Premiership-enhanced club policy regarding troublemakers.Really green too......or might that just be the passengers gasping in the thick fumes ? A piffling inconvenience nonetheless..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bury Green 0 Posted August 7, 2011 Do any of the non-Cabbage contingent ever slow down when passing the Cabbages of Holt buses to have a crafty look at all the enjoyment going on inside? It’s been a topic of conversation for nearly twenty years about what goes on inside, as none of our tribe has ever plucked up courage for themselves and the rumours have been quite frightening? The dungeon / gimp scene in Pulp Fiction is often mentioned, a few seasons back we even had a Duelling Banjos recording to play when the first bus popped into sight. Is life aboard the Cabbage as really as incestuous in ‘all’ the ways as we think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
