Guest BooBoo Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Overall i think this offers a cheap easy service. However because of the price it does attract high levels of charvas. Some knackers in front of us today wrestling, repeatedly breaking wind "for a laugh" and smoking joints in the toilet. Plus the driver on the way home, drove past SJP as he "hadnt seen it". I suppose you get what you pay for, but it was a trying journey home today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I went down to Pompey with Back Page, bunch of charvas on the back row were a contstant annoyance for the whole journey (especially one little Cartman lookalike), felt like a fucking school trip, especially when they started giving the fingers to the lorries we were passing and started throwing food at each other.

Felling Mag Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I hate travelling with BackPage. Its always a last resort. You cant drink, they show irritating videos both on the way there and the way back, and its generally just void of any decent craic whatsoever. The youngpersons railcard has saved me from enduring unnecessary trips with them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had two thirds of Essex Boys, twenty minutes of To Live and Die in LA, a whole bloody Jim Davidson stand up show, half an hour of Mississipi Burning and then Magpie Magic!

Cartman is a Back Page regular and regularly acts like a tool. Was spied yesterday wrestling in a service station whilst at the same time wolfing down a Ginsters!

The youngpersons railcard has saved me from enduring unnecessary trips with them same here, but what I can only guess were members of the "ultras" could have got us kicked off yesterday for pulling off light fittings and not shutting up when told to on the York-Blackburn leg of the journey.

gray Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 vodka in a red bull bottle if im honest, but no one pays any attention anyway. i expect if you're a little charva who cant hold drink theyd kick you off, this was just to give us a start for when we got there for the £2.50 a can of carling they had going Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Drove to an away game for the 1st time yesterday and the journey home was too much like hard work. Taking my 12 year old daughter to Wigan and before yesterday intended to drive. On the way home i thought to myself "back page for wigan". Reading this i just can't make up my mind. Really don't want to have to put up with a coach load of charvas. Are all the buses like that or is it just pot luck each game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are all the buses like that or is it just pot luck each game? hardly none are before anyone comments im not a charva... book up this week, if you are on coach 1 or 2 then you should be fine and stuck with all the regulars.

kane2005 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I have a broken leg at the minute , so opted for the sensible form of travel that is Backpage. I am usually a toon traveller.

Cheers for 1 or 2 bits of advice. Have went for Kevs' book early option. Can you grab seats anywhere on the bus or do you have to stick to the numbers on the tickets? Have been with them before but it's been a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
