Bus to Connacht game, 29th September

Duff Paddy · Post by **Duff Paddy** » September 21st, 2006, 11:31 pm

I actually think only having 12 will make it much more craic in a way as we'll be forced into hard boozing. On the other hand, it's a pretty poor uptake even allowing for the fact that it's a Friday away game. How come Breener never put it up on the official site?

Conflict of interest with our official rip off merchants

Eh yeah, especially when they're not running a bus at all.

Here, KT know their market and they're not making decent money out of these (domestic) trips anyway. We're no competition for them.

You honestly reckon that's the reason why Breener didn't put it up? I reckon it's cause he's headed off with the team to Llannelli.

The last post went up at 4.15pm today. I reckon its in Killesters interest that we dont get orgainised in big groups, dont you?

Nah, they can stop us easily enough if they want to through bonding, they don't have to bother with buses to Connacht

You don't have to be bonded to club together to hire a bus!!!!

They'd be laughed out of court I tell you.

Now if we were all chipping in to give one individual money to book flights, accomodation etc, then we might have issues with not being bonded. My mates mum has an Irish travel agency, I reckon I could find us a way round it in any case.

Whilst your logic is sound epaddy, I don't think that KT are that on the ball to be honest - whaddya reckon? They can't be making any decent money out of the domestic away trips.

Didn't breener put up the message about the supporters bus to Ulster?

Thats what I mean. I was refering to ePs bit about us getting organised in large groups, not a bus to the wesht. Travel agents are however quite protective of their market and have used bonding against irish rugby supporters in the past.

I don't know why Breener didn't put up my post about the bus - the only reason I can think of is they didn't want anything to do with it. I actually checked Killester yesterday thinking that maybe it was because they had a bus going down - but they don't so I don't see how they can have a problem with it

Post by **Eve** » September 22nd, 2006, 8:41 am

I've emailed Breener about this this morning and got an out of office reply (probably in or en route to Llanelli) - hopefully I'll get a reply next week.

Duff - plenty of posts have been put up on the board since I submitted mine on Tuesday.

Did he? - if he did then KT are obviously not the issue.

In fairness - Breener is usually a good un so I'm not going to jump to conclusions till I hear from him - maybe it just got lost in the ether

Did anyone else submit a post about the bus or is it just mine that's missing?

Post by **Eve** » September 22nd, 2006, 10:08 am

I got a reply from Breener. He said he never got my post but will be glad to post it if I send again - so I've sent a link to this thread again - hopefully get a few more bodies out of it!

EDIT: Fair play - it's up already
