Why Don’t We Do This? on 21:53 - Aug 12 with 2068 views | GloryHunter | What you're missing, mate, is the history of the "Football Specials" of the 1970s, when Chelsea and Leeds fans (especially) would smash up the whole train, on their way to smashing up their destination stadium. The carnage was regularly featured on TV News footage at the time. | | | |

Imagine if we’re getting done 0-3 away up north midweek and you say to your mates “ feck this I’m off” Nice one - Hillingdon please mate and don’t spare the horses. I think it’s a great idea. | |

We’d have to pay for it if we smashed it up! | | | |

£75 each doesn’t seem too bad to me and that’s to Edinburgh. If it’s per mile imagine how much Boro would be. [Post edited 13 Aug 2021 0:18]

Probably a tad more per mile. You have to come off the main line and negotiate the goods train clanking tracks at Darlington, but to tell ya the truth...I'd not have a problem at 75 nicker a go to sit on a Rangers special. | |

Nobody would. And yet you never see one. Why ever could that be? I've been on away trips where QPR have got a whole bit of one carriage booked out for the team - Preston, Blackburn, Boro. Maybe it's this company they use, or one like it, to do that. But I've never seen an old school football special, train chartered by football team or football fans, which would suggest the idea that you can just do that for 75 notes each isn't true. Cheapest you can do Middlesbrough next Wednesday/Thursday currently is £99. But yeh I'm sure you could just charter one of your own for £75. | | | |

Do it Baz. I’m curious how they’ll uncouple the carriage at Darlington but give it a go. | | | |

I am certain you and DistortR are right. I just have this niggly feeling that we are missing out on something. Could you imagine? [Post edited 13 Aug 2021 8:44]
