Minibus away trip no-shows

Yesterday’s minibus to Farsley Celtic had to be cancelled due to 8 of the 13 bookings not showing up – despite the minibus waiting long after the pick-up time, only one apology was received. This was a massive disappointment for those who did turn-up.

We’re working through a solution to avoid this happening in the future, especially with this Saturday’s trip to Peterborough Sports being apparently fully booked with a flurry of similar bookings.

Up until now we’ve tried to keep costs as low as possible by avoiding the use of on-line booking fees by allowing fans to pay on the day – but this requires a commitment to turning up. Conversely we don’t want to penalise our long term loyal supporters.

The minibus is run by volunteers and all costs have to be met from bookings – otherwise it won’t be able to continue.
