sendintank 35 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Sorry wrong forum I know, but I'm in a spot here.I usually travel up on the overnight sleeper bus from Cardiff,the service has been pulled,there's no flights from Cardiff,flight times from Bristol are rubbish,so,basically I have no way to get to Ibrox.Does anyone have an email for anyone from the Bristol chosen few,I know they used to travel occasionally,or does anyone here travel up from South Wales?Any help appreciated ,gutted to think I could never get up again.

Dietspam 733 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The length some folk go to to watch the utter shite we put on every second week is actually quite astonishing. Hats off to you mate, really. You put a lot of people to shame, including myself at times! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you heard of The New Inn in Cardiff? The Cardiff True Blues meet there, I'm not sure what the details are but they have a twitter page (updated intermittently) https://twitter.com/cardiffrscThere also used to be a Rangers pub in Swansea called The Builders Arms, but ever since the Swans got promoted, it's got Swans signs outside, so I'm not sure if it's still run by a bluenoseHope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sendintank 35 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 thanks for the suggestions lads,the only way i can see atm is a train to cardiff,bus to london,then another bus to Glasgow,the same in reverse,its a fair old trip to be honest,about 14 hours each way.I dont get up that often,but always love my days in Glasgow,i will be gutted if i cant get up again.

Contact Billy Roberts on 0151 226 2302.Not sure how recent that is, but worth giving them a ring? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
