Wembley Coach Travel

[onedego]

Hi Guys,

just been and seen the tickets for Wembley, and we got Club Coach travel tickets.

Couple of questions.

The ticket says "NO ALCOHOL" - do we know how strictly this is enforced

Also, are you able to leave things on the coach during the game?

Thanks all!

No idea with the club coach travel, having never used them. but I'm sure if you are discreet & not going to get bladdered, that you should be okay. But it is up to you to take the risk.
As for leaving things on the coach you will need to ask your driver.

i think it means no alcohol allowed

It is an offense for alcohol to be carried on a coach

Shocking! Legislative killjoys. Next, they'll have no singing on coaches.

I went on the club coaches to quins, and they knew me and few others towards the back were drinking the driver said he wasn't bothered as long as we cleaned up.

Jaws it `s not a criminal offence to take alcohol to a rugby match , it`s not a designated public event .
It must be the coach proprietors rules , probrably learning from their previous mistakes .
