Supporters Coach - Slough Town Supporters Trust Statement.

[Deano the Rebel]

The Slough Town Supporters Trust away day coach travel is available to all our supporters, with a discount to every Trust member.

Coaches are administered, planned, bookings taken and co-ordinated on match day by volunteers from the Trust board. The Trust board all pay for their coach travel.

Times are difficult for many supporters and their support really is ‘make or break’ to us as we try to achieve a break even position over the full season despite coach operating costs increasing. Being non profit allows travel to be maintained at a decent price to as many games as possible. Some coaches will show a small profit, others can and do lose money.

Coach travel provides a valuable service to many supporters, including those who do not drive, those who want to be taken right to the stadium or do not like to use public transport. It would be unfair to provide free or further discounted travel to others that is lower than we charge our supporters. Of course, we wholeheartedly support and appreciate the excellent service provided by the commentators. None of the club volunteers or the Trust board, which includes many who also volunteer on match day, receive a discount. Be consistent and fair to everyone is what we promote.

where more supporters use the coaches we can and will reduce prices to maintain a non profit position throughout the season overall. It is a difficult decision not to operate a coach to an away game.

we aim to fill coaches, albeit some will have empty seats. Smaller coaches are also less cost effective per person. The best outcome for our wonderful supporters that will allow us to reduce prices would be to fill the 56-57 seater coaches to every game. Your support is greatly appreciated. If you can, please travel with the ‘Rebels on Tour’ Trust coach.

Thank you.
