spyinthesky Posted 11 July, 2013 Share Posted 11 July, 2013 Didn't the Pompey based coach firm who bought out Coliseum have the Saints coach contract?

jayrivers Posted 11 July, 2013 Share Posted 11 July, 2013 Looks nice! In cycling they put loads of money into the coach because then the cyclists will recover quickly so they have loads of luxeries on there. Guess the same theory would apply to footballers. If you can begin recovering on the journey home them you should be fitter for training the following week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaMarlin Posted 11 July, 2013 Share Posted 11 July, 2013 I know all's fair in love and war and business, and I've no doubt Saints had their sound reasons for doing this.

The new team bus must have cost at least £500k to buy so the cost per trip may be around the £8-£10k mark Coliseum used to have the contract and managed to supply Saints with a coach of that calibre previously. But several months back, they sold the business to Fareham based Lucketts Coaches. I have no idea why they lost the contract to a Liverpool based company. But serve them right for supplying a team coach to the Skates and also having an away coach for Man Utd supporters in the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But serve them right for supplying a team coach to the Skates and also having an away coach for Man Utd supporters in the region. I was talking to one of the Pitter brothers about six months before they decided to sell the company to Lucketts, he told me that NC was trying to force their hand into buying a coach of this standard and to be used only by SFC, he said they could not justify the outlay for a coach that would be sat around a lot of the time.

SNSUN Posted 11 July, 2013 Share Posted 11 July, 2013 The front tyres are very far back. Good job MLT doesn't play for us anymore, if he stood on those steps, the back end of the coach would be in the air. Lovely though innit. I'd love to have a peek inside...

diggers Posted 12 July, 2013 Share Posted 12 July, 2013 I happen to have the displeasure of knowing Steve Luckett and a most objectionable person he is too, so glad they lost the contract. When we were at wembley for the JPT I asked him about running a coach and the Skate **** didn't want to know. Should never give SFC business to out'n'out Skates.
