Inspired by the arrival of Mad Marty's crew at Cincinnati's in a old beatup minibus, I am just wanting to gauge public opinion on those of us travelling from the West of Scotland , about hiring a similar mode of transport.
i havent a clue on costs at the moment, but if you are interested, post on this thread so we can get an idea of numbers.

Me? Your having a girraffe! Nowt wrong with my driving but it would be wrong for me to drive
BTW, approx 300 quid for a 3 day hire of a minibus - could be cheaper, thats just the first place Ive looked at online.

im up for the train.
i think it would be a better atmosphere if we all had a piss up and a laugh on the way down and it would build up the anticipation of releasing the Scottish beast on Walsall, ( as the Southerners done to us at BB2 ).
also the mini bus might be a bit of a pain in the ass to arrange ( more hassle than its worth. )
train for me.

Only thinking about the guys wanting to get a game of football in on Sat am. I'd rather not have as early a start this time. Last time I was knackered and didn't last too well on the Saturday  |
