If you lay on strippers for the journey then I am in.

Call it Spurs, beer and strippers on a bus. Kind of like snakes on a plane, just without Samuel.

I meant the name for the page, haha, I'm not fucking naming the coach :p

I'm gonna whack the page up when I get in tonight, I'm going to call it CSWYtours (cant smile without you tours) due to that song being an away days anthem back in the day.

The pick ups I've all been quoted depend on the distance of the games we're going to sadly, what the coach service told me that's a pain in the arse though.

Correct. Also we had Big Bill who worked for Thos.Cook but as a private booking thing. Then there was Johnny Herbert's coaches as well, many famous breakdowns throughout the 70's and 80's but hey - that was part of the fun.
In the days before reliable vehicles and no mobiles, no toilets apart from a piss bucket, pioneering times. LOL

You've just given me nightmares...Remember going up to Villa Pk for the Watford Cup Semi-final in '87, and all they had was a 5Litre glass bottle to piss in. You had to position yourself on the step with your head against the entrance door to balance yourself.
:yuck:

The worst part about the piss bucket was when it was getting full and slopping about it had to be tipped out - The guys used to pull up a hatch in the floor near the middle of the coach and throw it down onto the prop shaft and beyond - Sometimes it created a nice little "splashback" The safest was getting the coach into a lay-by as service stations were usually not open for football coaches.

Many stories from those days - We were on our way to Bayern Munich, I think, in the early 1980's (long slog) and had not long left Kings X, travelling down through Deptford on a dark evening with hard core porn of the tv screens - We were watching a cyclist on the inside of the coach tagging along with us watching up at the porn when he hit a skip and went into it.

Ah man, I missed the naming? Nice page name anyhow, I was gonna suggest something equally as old school and also based on an old Spurs track.... 'Cockerel Tourers' as in Cockerel Chorus (Nice one Cyril).

I've decided to go with the first option of West Brom away with the pick ups being London kings cross, Walsall (we had a suprising amount of Midlands located yids interested on Twitter) and Milton Keynes so far. We could fit a fourth pick up in but you gotta be quick, I wanna get this off the ground ASAP.
