Lisa cant foot the bill. So we make about 50p per person,. extra and it all goes into LISA..... which all ends up being spent on players.

I don't think anyone would expect or want you to run it at a loss.

FWIW the cost doesn't seem too bad to me*, just out of interest which coaches haven’t been filled?

* not as good as my free truck though

Well I'd say your prices are about right then.

I can understand the Fev re-arrange game not being full mid week an all that, like wise Swinton again some people don't like to drive a 'long way' on motorways but will happily drive to Swinton, and that's why you may struggle with the Widnes one.

Its a good price Linda is like to see anyone get there in the same time on public transport, then you dont have to park your car miles away, you can have a drink etc....

Yes and I'm sure our lot will be wanting their usual 5/6 seats as well. On the subject of the price and for comparison. A seat on the coach to our first ever SL away match at Warrington cost £5.... Over four years ago.

2 seats for us

Just been having a look at the quotes I got a few months ago for a coach to Widnes:

Cheapest (49 seaters) £350 = £7.14 per seat
Dearest £450 = £9.18 per person

The cost per person would need to be higher to cover any possible empty seats so the cost would have to be approx £8.50 'ish per person. Then to allow LISA members a discount the price would have been about £8 members / £9 non-members.
So I think we are getting a very good price.

The only cheaper method would have been to hire a double decker bus for £320 (73 seats) whilst it is only a 30 minute journey.

I dont think its bad. Ask your self this. If your boss asked you to work sunday for single time, would you be happy. The lad or lady driving you probably would not have been able to go for a pint on saturday night either. I once tried to organise a coach to Leeds to watch Genesis. It was slow and old, but cheap. Never again. I'll leave it to the people who know.
