hangthedj Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Is there sufficient interest to think about resurrecting the idea of a separate coach for supporters? I notice all the spots on the team coach have been taken for the trip to Bognor tomorrow, so I'm just throwing the idea out there. How many of you would be interested in taking a coach to away games this year? Providing a reasonable company and price can be agreed, of course.

marksandwell Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I NOT on the MISA committee, so I only express a personal view... MISA sole aim at the moment, is I believe to help contribute financial towards the club, be it food, volunteers, 50/50 etc. Therefore they would not want to take any activity on which means they would/might loose money and consequently cost the club. A coach I would imagine costs £500+ each trip. As the players sometimes travel on coached this cost would have to be met, so to help off set some of the cost a small amount of seats are offered via MISA. Often when I have travelled on a coach there has been ample room for additional supporters, which have NOT been taken. I don't know what space capacity is offered bear in mind we have other Margate FC officials also travelling, so would suggest its circa 20. At £15.00 per head this would only raise £300 so there is, I suspect a shortfall that has to be paid by the Club. When MISA have tried to put on independent coaches they have often run at a lost, speak to Keith Lewis treasurer he may confirm this... I believe when Margate FC get their finances under control year on year (which incidentally they are making tremendous progress towards) then perhaps MISA will be able to work towards supporting supporters and financing said activities. Saying that I know MISA are always looking for new committee members and helpers, so talk to them and explore. COME ON GATE LETS GO TO BOGNOR AND COME HOME WITH 3 POINTS...

michael Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have no idea how the mechanics of this work-but from a distance-is there any merit in considering a luxury double deck coach-less than two coaches-but obviously more than a single deck coach: would also enable the players to have a degree of privacy as players on one level-and supportrs on another ? after todays win-a few more may wish to travel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
