Plane to Morecambe

[hockleyshrimper]

They tweeted 47 minutes ago that a match ticket is included with the plane ticket.
They worried that they cant fill the plane as no one would have a match ticket so changed it to include a match ticket, a bit crafty!

you could say a bit air-crafty.

Great idea by the club and gives people another option. Cannot for the life of me see why they are getting slated.

There are some places still left on the plane. I did a bit of research and the flight tax payable is £55 hence the price.

A good time-saving way of missing the traffic and a guaranteed match ticket.

I'm told there are still places available on the plane, match ticket included. As it looks very unlikely that the game will now be shown at RH. Some of you may wish to treat yourself.....go on you know you'll wish you had at about five to three on Saturday.

By the way I'm not from the commercial department.

Just spoke to the club as I'm toying with going.

Confirmed as follows:
300 quid, includes match-ticket and parking at Southend airport.

20 seats left.

Do you know whether Phillip and the players are also on the flight?

I doubt it. I would imagine they'd keep to their normal routine of going up the day before, possibly training at Blackpool Friday PM...

Noooooo! Not the Jota 146. Crank start cargo plane these days. When I flew in it last there was still grafitti on the door from one of the Wright brothers.

I have it on good authority from someone who is interested in such things that it is a 29-year old BAe146.

Didn't ask but isn't that half the point?

Rather nice aircraft actually. Leaves the Executive Terminal at Southend Airport (sorry, London Southend Airport) at 1030 on Saturday morning. For you plane spotters out there:

Wondered whether they would be up there the night before creating more seats, and thus more profit out of the nice aeroplane.

Not room for the players and coaching staff if the club are trying to sell 95 seats. I would imagine as per London Blue that players are going up the day before. Bit of a risk to go at 10.30am on match day when it's still a 90 min coach journey from Manchester to Morecambe.

Hmmmm.Lets see. 95 seat plane, 20 seats left = 'Half the plane is still empty then', or am I missing something:dim:

According to the OS 'You will be travelling to Morcambe with the Chairman and directors'.

No mention of the playing staff so looks like the answer is no.

Gosh, that sounds exciting.

Probably been mentioned already but I don't fancy reading through seven pages, does anybody know why they are flying to Manchester rather than Blackpool?
