A good advert for the Supporters Association too. This is exactly the sort of thing I'd like to see them take a lead in. We'll done all those involved.

The League is far more important than an FA Cup game.
When the SA do something that you think nobody could see as anything other than a great achievement, there still has to be someone who is negative.

We play Halifax in the NL season after season. If we win there this season, great, 3 points more. If we win at Accrington we'll make another £67,000 in prize money and be in the 3rd round of FA Cup.

When we win and draw Liverpool away, obviously we're better off saving the coaches for Gateshead away the next week :roll:

Any danger of the club pushing it?? I wonder how many near fans who’ve started coming recently would be interested but don’t know about the SA.

Just a question,as coaches are leaving from the Hive, does this mean supporters who have booked for the coach will be allowed to park there car at the Hive for Free ?

Well not being funny you need club to put it on main site to help with booking.

This has been a problem in the past. More people live closer to Underhill than the Hive, but have to drag all the way over there to get the coach. For those that don't drive, getting to the Hive for 8.00am on Saturday morning must be a real headache. I was on a coach once which left the Odeon but had to call in to the Hive to pick up 5 people, which put nearly an hour on the journey. I know Accy gas been sorted out at short notice,(and a great job done too) but going forward, if coaches are to run in future couldn't a survey be done to see where most people would like to go from.

The survey I done a few weeks ago suggested a 62 38 split in favour of Barnet. When we went to Blackburn there were 40 on it, 25 from Barnet and 15 from the Hive. The Morecambe coach which went from the hive only had 23 people but I think it was £40 so that put a few off. For the big Sheffield game 3 went from the Hive and only 2 from Barnet if I recall correctly.

So it is a problem with a split fan base but if TK is subsiding it I can understand why he wants them to go from the Hive

Takeup remains quite low.

Anyone who is considering going to the game and doesn't yet have travel plans, it would be interesting to know what you think of the coach offering. Is there a reason you are reluctant to book? Is the car more convenient? Would like a Barnet pick up? The tie isn't glamorous enough to travel that distance? You aren't keen on coach toilets?

Could be anything, no wrong answers.
