GENK COACH: Train Station - Stadium and return

Jjjack · Post by **Jjjack** » Tue Jul 18, 2023 5:25 pm

Hi all,

I've had a quote for a 50 seater for 660 euros from www.osabus.com. I work it out at £12 each, any difference at the end will go to the foodbank.

17:30 @ Genk Train Station, returning there after the game.

We still have 14 seats available. You will have to pay in advance for this as I can't front 660 euros believe it or not.

Just leave a comment confirming numbers for now and I'll put payment details on later.

Count us in for x 4 we’re aiming for 2:07 train from Brussels airport to Genk so should be sound for time

Jjjack · Post by **Jjjack** » Tue Jul 18, 2023 6:45 pm

20 confirmations so far, we have at least 14 seats spare it would be greatly appreciated if people could spread the word on social media.

This is the best I’ve seen since Alan Beecroft organised coaches from Salzburg to Abtenau & Bad Wimsbach in 2005.

Green tick means you've confirmed your booking, please keep an eye out in the morning for further details re payments, without Bop we are 16 bums short, please spread the word in any burnley groups or chats you have. Attachment is just to let everybody know I'm not stringing you along.

Bop · Post by **Bop** » Tue Jul 18, 2023 9:49 pm

Just confirming now - but sure we’ll be ok.

1989_claret · Post by **1989_claret** » Tue Jul 18, 2023 9:51 pm

You’re a legend Jjjack.

Pretty sure if we don’t get confirmation from Bop people would be ok paying £16 rather than the £12 as it’s a guarantee of getting to and from the stadium.

EDIT: just seen Bops message so fingers crossed and happy days

Have I read it wrong or does the game not kick off at 15.00? What time is the pick up?

Bop · Post by **Bop** » Tue Jul 18, 2023 9:52 pm

I’ve whacked a tweet on twitterclarets once again just incase some folk don’t think to check the messageboard.

UTC!

Jjjack · Post by **Jjjack** » Tue Jul 18, 2023 10:07 pm

Thanks Brad, I've sent booking confirmation to the coach, details of payment to follow in the morning when they confirm with me. Thanks all for helping make this happen, looking forward to a great weekend coming up.

Anyone else on 12:50 from Manchester on Friday? Bus and train to Genk is about 3.5 hrs. A taxi direct from airport about 1.5 hrs. 5 in a cab wouldn’t be much more I wouldn’t think?

How much and how long does it take?

BradTee93 · Post by **BradTee93** » Tue Jul 18, 2023 10:23 pm

£30 it cost for a open return going back from midi station to the airport on Sunday morning. The buses run every 20 minutes and the ticket lasts all day

Ok ta see you at the airport bar!

Claret86 · Post by **Claret86** » Tue Jul 18, 2023 10:53 pm

Can I book 4 people on the coach please?

Jjjack · Post by **Jjjack** » Wed Jul 19, 2023 6:25 am

Morning all.

44 confirmations, if I could ask everybody for the time being to pay £13.50 each. It comes to £594 and using the great metric that is tesco exchange rate it works out at 674 euros (660 for coach, 14 for the foodbank as it stands).

If we get a full coach happy to refund everybody the extra £1.50 per person.

Since people have already started paying 13.50 a head the price will remain unchanged and 100 quid will go to the foodbank after the weekend as long as nobody has any gripes with that.

Absolutely no issues.
