[Football] M6 Toll services.

Speaks volumes. Doubt if CH and Bruno did this last season!!

They had just won the Championship with 5 games to go, which is hardly the same as survival in the league, even if it is the Premier League.

Did the Albion coaches stop there, on the way back from Liverpool?

Ours did - I think the driver got a free drink in Wetherspoons...

Have you quoted the right post? Won the championship with 5 games to go? At Walsall? We survived the PL this season, not last

Don’t know, I drove up there.

Yes, I was at Warwick services when Gus & Charlie came in. We were Champions with 5 games to go. We had been promoted the week previously, but that 3-1 win meant Southampton couldn't catch up.

Trying to compare it with CH & Bruno is pathetic imo.

Not sure why you are getting hot under the collar.

Fact - Gus never won the championship at Brighton

Fact - CH got us promoted to the PL last season

Fact - CH and Bruno are the ultimate professionals (based on most people’s views)

That’s all.

Fact We were champions (small c) of League 1 at Walsall. Why are you making such a big thing of it?

Ok, so your original post:

“They had just won the Championship with 5 games “

Was wrong

[Gazwag]

Met Gus and Charlie running around Warwick Services looking for alcohol for the bus trip home in 2011 after the Walsall game

They would have gone inside if it wasn't for the low roof

The only thing wrong with that sentence was a capital C. When you win a league you are called champions.

Going back to CH & Bruno, our players were so drunk last season, they didn't win the Championship (capital C) and allowed Newcastle to snatch it from us.

Makes a change to Scratch-wood before the Chesterfield game

Quite. And there's a Wetherspoons at the Beaconsfield one on the m40.

There’s a Wetherspoons at Beaconsfield services on the M40

There’s a Wetherspoons at Beaconsfield services on the M40

There is a Wetherspoons at Beaconsfield services, because those services are NOT* on the M40.

*technically

 

[Brovion]

The only services I know of that sell alcohol are on the M4.
Yes, the drivers get discounted food there.

We've had lots of chats with other club's fans when stopping there.

Yeah, it's some a long way from the days when motorway service stations had signs up saying "No football coaches" due to all the violence

 

[Guinness Boy]

They’re handy for picking stuff up if you’ve been away a few days and getting home late....milk etc.

You've spelled W-I-N-E incorrectly there mate.

Yes, although the police now use some services for bubble matches.

Does that make a difference? I'm guessing the Nandos on the M25 also has a license.

 

[Lush]

There were around 30 coaches in there. Fans from Albion, Man Utd, Liverpool, Everton, Watford and Man City all together discussing football. Handshakes all round. Only idiots, a group of alcohol filled Liverpool fans and two young twats, one with an England shirt on (don't think Albion fans). Whatever happened to football hooligans.
Also, why do we all stop on the toll road? Free food for drivers or only services with no alcohol?

Because we're posh and they have a LEON.
