Providing the official Red Devil supporters transport to away games - We are back now taking bookings for coaches for this season which is going to be exciting - come and support your team on the road.
I was in two minds about travelling by coach. As I said to Pat on Saturday I thought it might be a closed shop/bit of a clique. Well I got that totally wrong. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming - and from one of our pubs we visit - Hello Alain. I hope that you have recovered after Saturdays result, disappointing but I suspect that some of your group didn’t know the result due to the amount of shots that were consumed just prior to jumping on the coach. As always it was an absolute pleasure to play host to you all, a more polite and social group would be hard to find anywhere. Please pass our thanks and regards to all members of the group as we enjoyed the day, one of the best we have had in eighteen years! Regards Andy & Donna Cross Keys and another from Supporter Neil Webster - Hi Alain Tony Bish and I really enjoyed yesterday and as you say, you have us hooked now!Status of away travel

Well done to the club for showing their respect to the League Champions when forming a guard of honour and clapping the hosts onto the pitch.
A great performance by the team against League 1 Champions Birmingham City in front of 27,300 – the biggest league attendance we have played in front of. To get a point was to say the least really unexpected and all credit to the team who kept battling for the full 90 minutes – we had a couple of chances to score but saying that so did the “Blues”. We had the vote for the “man of the match” and that went to Charlie Barker who was immense and runner up was our loanee keeper Toby Steward who was making his EFL debut. He was outstanding making two brilliant saves to stop them scoring. We were the only the second team to stop Birmingham scoring at home this season and considering how may we have conceded was magnificent.
Our away support were again in full voice and in great numbers considering how our season has turned out – over 700 made the trip – there was some great banter between both sets of supporters throughout the game.
We had the two coaches and thanks to everyone who travelled with us. Our journey up to Birmingham was not the best with delays on the M25 and M40 meant we had to forgo the stop at Warwick Services as we had to be at the Stadium for 1.30pm before that roads were shut – “we just about made it” which we were informed about on Friday evening. Our trip home was much better and arrived back at the stadium for 8.45pm which included a comfort stop at Oxford services.
Our competition is moving along and we can now only get a maximum of 46 points this season – so anyone who put more than 46 have now been knocked out – that’s 45 of the 92 entrants have now gone – thanks you for your entry. So we still have 47 entries who are hoping to be the winner and get one of next season’s new shirts – you have a choice of which one you want. Remember if we have more than one correct entry we will draw out the winner from those entries.
OUR FINAL MATCH OF THIS SEASON
– Saturday 3rd May – SHREWSBURY TOWN – 3.00pm K/O.
IF YOU HAVE BOOKED A SEAT ON THE COACHES TO SHREWSBURY PLEASE CAN YOU NOW PAY FOR THESE SEATS IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY DONE SO – YOU CAN PAY EITHER BY BANK TRANSFER OR IN REDZ AT ANY OF THE REMAINING HOME MATCHES.
This coach is now full – We have added a second coach
Supporters coaches departs from the Broadfield Stadium at 8.00am. Cost is £40.00. We will have a comfort/coffee stop at Warwick services.
We have now organised a pub stop at the Oaken Arms, near Telford but there will no buffet on this occasion as being a Bank Holiday weekend we can’t predict the traffic conditions and should we get problems then we may have to cancel the pub visit and travel direct to the Stadium – as happened on the way to Birmingham when we had to cancel the Warwick Services break You can buy food at the pub if you want when we arrive.
We will leave after the game but give you time to say thank you to the team for their season’s efforts. We will have a break on the homeward journey to be decided if a driver change is required. No match ticket details are yet available.
NON-LEAGUE FINALS DAY AT WEMBLEY STADIUM – SUNDAY 11th MAY. FA TROPHY & FA VASE. TWO CUP FINALS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE.
We have also been approached by a supporter to see if there would be any interest to run a coach to the FA Trophy and FA Vase finals at Wembley on Sunday 11th May – both games are being played on the same day so you would watch both matches. At the moment kick off times are not yet published but can assume that the Vase will be at Midday and the Trophy at 3.00pm. If you are interested please let us know and we will get costs for the trip – which will include parking the coach at Wembley as we did for our Play off final last season. We would depart from the Broadfield Stadium at 9.30am and leave Wembley at the latest 30 minutes after the final whistle.
In the Vase final it’s an all-southern affair with Whyteleafe playing Whitstable Town and in the Trophy final Aldershot play north-east side Spennymoor Town, so three southern sides for you to support to the day. Even a couple of former Red Devils could be playing in for Aldershot. If you haven’t been to the new Wembley Stadium this could be a great chance to see the stadium and a couple of finals to watch.
You will need to purchase your own match tickets from the Wembley Box office if we get sufficient number to organise the trip.
Please contact either Alain or Patrick to book your seat – Alain 07771-792346 or Email Alain_harper@icloud.com, Patrick via Twitter(X) or Facebook –Payment for coach travel can be done via either bank transfer- (but please send confirmation that it has been completed) or cash in Redz before any home game – all fares but must be paid in full before travel.
