Away Coach
Our Away Coach service has been going from strength to strength this season, with trips to every away match this term and our now-legendary Pork & Ride day to Bramall Lane for the Steel City Derby in October.
New Years’ Eve saw a new high point reached - not only for Wednesdayite, but for League One - with five Wednesdayite coaches making the trip over the Pennines to swell the largest away contingent in the division so far this season - with over 4,200 passionate Owls in the Bill Shankly Kop at Deepdale. As a result, over two hundred Wednesdayite members and non-members alike enjoyed a police escort in and out of the town, not to mention a stress-free and comfortable away day culminating in Wednesday’s fantastic 2-0 victory to kick-start 2012.
Tom was so impressed he very kindly thanked us on fan forum Owlstalk, saying “First time I had used them (was on coach 4) - they are brilliant for away days. Cheap tuck shop on the bus (Snickers for 30p...), a nice crossword quiz and a good atmosphere, with a nice and friendly host. Definitely would recommend them to anyone considering going to away games - takes the stress out of travelling car/train and made the away day experience a lot more enjoyable.”
Thanks Tom, and thank you not only to everybody who has made the Wednesdayite Away Coach such a success, but also the volunteers who give up their time to steward the coaches to all four corners of this great nation! If you haven’t taken a trip away with us, why not give us a go?
Rumours that - not to be outdone - our city neighbours have booked a second taxi for their vital trip to Charlton later this month cannot at this time be confirmed.
Well done Wednesday fans - over 4000 there and the biggest of the season, and we silenced the Preston lot from the kickoff and didn't let up for 90 minutes!
And to think our smaller neighbours struggle to take 900 to Barnsley...
