Coaches/Tickets To Newcastle: Further Update

Newcastle v Arsenal

Reminder & for benefit of new members & guests

We don’t want to stop you having fun but ‘rules is rules’! And these are important for all travelling on our coaches on Monday 16th May to Newcastle and back. This applies whether in Scotland or England.
So please read them and later complain you didn’t know.

Coaches

As per the Sporting Event (Control of Alcohol etc) Act 1985, anyone who has alcohol in their possession whilst travelling on a coach that is principally being used to take people to or from a match is guilty of an offence.  That includes ‘mixers’ …
There are provisions relating to the operators and also those who hire vehicles.
THAT MEANS WE GET FINED TOO!
It is also an offence to be drunk on such a vehicle whether or not the person is in possession of alcohol.
Our coaches will be therefore have to be ‘stewarded’ by Club Reps and behaviour will be monitored.
You can of course consume alcohol before you board our coaches (just be reasonable!) and alcohol is served within the St James Park stadium.
So there you have it. If you really want to drink alcohol while travelling please DO NOT travel with us.
The act also prohibits fireworks.
