You can bet that they will use the opportunity to find a cheaper replacement.

Any news of a new coach replacement for the 2 matches next week (the mechanic coach that is)

Nowadays football clubs use the words "coach" and "manager" interchangeably.

I thought for a moment that our new manager had spontaneously combusted when GI told him he would be working for free on probation for 3 yrs !! :rules:

No words can express my sadness for the upholstery that must have perished in the fire and the suffering caused to seats that saw other seats burn to death in such a horrific way.

At this difficult time, I think we should all give our cars a hug and thank god we still have them in our lives.

Stay safe everybody.

RIP coach. Thoughts and prayers to the seats and everything affected.

I have heard that the club are to get a new team bus and indeed have agreed contracts with a new manager.

Unfortunately though it's a condition of the new managers contract that he has to be qualified to be able to drive the team coach and so the new guy will be away on a 2 months training course to get his PCV licence. :clown:

Let's hope they are not waiting for useless Geoff Harrop to sort out a new bus for them. He's still figuring out what he wants for his lunch, three weeks ago.

Yes indeed. Our thoughts, prayers and condolencies must be with the bus company on this sad, sad day.

I hope they are ok to phone the insurance company and arrange a replacement bus. RIP

So GI DO actually know when it's appropriate to communicate then? Given what has gone the last 4 weeks i'm amazed.

Believe it or not I actually laughed when I read that.
Will there be a minutes silence before Saturdays game?

The Official site says 'our thoughts are with the company' after a mini bus had caught fire. I thought this kind of sentiment was reserved for deaths and disasters.

I wonder if the legend will be back driving the mini bus for the next away game.
