No 10 Crown Street

[AIDO]

Some of you may know Darlo lad Carl Williams who has just taken over the former Aspire pub (next to Steads) ..... As part of his plans he is hoping to run transport from the pub to home games at Blackwell Meadows when we finally return to town. (Today's Echo). This sounds great and I remember a similar thing happened from Aspire, for our first ever home game at HP and it was very popular, with lunch time football on TV, food etc.

Well done Carl ..... Let's hope it's a great success

Yep hope it all works out for Carl and his dad

Re opening night there tonight i think from 5 till 1am which i'm hoping to get along to.

Sure they will get plenty of fans who will be more than happy to have drinks at lunch time and pay a couple of quid for transport up to the ground on match days

the idea sounds great

[love it!]

I like Aspire and it was a shame that it closed. Really good idea having a coach running from there place and I for one will be taking advantage of this service

[joejaques]

Giz a clue then, for us exiles where is it?

Interesting idea. I guess it just depends on how much '10 Crown Street' would be prepared to subsidise the service because 'a couple a quid' a head won't cover the cost of a coach and also there are already 4 Arriva buses an hour that serve Blackwell Meadows from the stand outside the Joseph Pease.

I get the bus from the stand outside The Joseph Pease every week and its's not the most pleasant of experiences ... ha ha ha .... I think I know where I'd prefer to get the bus to the match. There is also the prospect of watching featured highlights of Darlo games at No 10 .... What could be better for a pre match build up?

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a nice idea. The bar at Blackwell Meadows won't be able to cope with everyone that wants a pre-match pint. Therefore good to have a concentration of Darlo fans elsewhere in town, particularly if Darlo highlights are going to be shown. All I'm saying is that it will have to be well and loyally patronised to make it worth Carl's while to support the service because it won't wash its face on 2 quid a head if that is what some are hoping for.

£2 a head with get me a taxi from any Darlo boozer

And that shows how easily the concept is undermined.

What is the price of a service bus ticket nowadays? It is £2.10 for a single on a bus last time I got one (not in Darlo) if that is similar here as Ingleby points out even service buses would be undercut by sharing a taxi.

That at least gives us a bargaining position to try and get a discount for match day ticket holders on service buses. I recall that Arriva made it free when we had our 'Save Darlo' fixtures in the Conference.
