Do you go into Tesco and ask them what profit they are making on your shopping before buying?! Either take a seat on a bus or don't. Too many folk expect something for nothing these days! I don't have a problem with Tesco selling me stuff because I know I'm buying it from Tesco... If his facebook page was Tambers - in association with *travel agent name* - no problem. It just all seems a bit smoke and mirrors. Would rather give my money to a genuine fan bus, rather than a travel agent. Just a personal choice of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spark Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 If I was going to the effort of organising buses abroad for loads of strangers then I'd be looking to make money out of it too. Sounds like a load of hassle that isn't worth it otherwise. Threads like this just back up that view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrne2711 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 What would be the big deal about him making a profit anyway? I for one am glad of not having the hassle to arrange a bus/train/taxi to the game and worry about whether it turns up or not. If he makes money on it then so be it. The hassle of arranging buses back here and taking names, payments, negotiations with bus companies, planning everything out so we get to ground on time and back to digs at a decent time is something I wouldn't want to do, and if it manages to get him a bottle or two to help him through the organising the so be it.

I'm not trying to be a dick here, just would rather know if you're acting on behalf of a business. Especially if you won't disclose how much of it is going to the TACC. I'm acting alone and yes it was I 4 travel I used for the busses, now phone them and get off my back so I can move on with my life, unlike you Stephen.

noctonjock Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'm on one of the buses and don't have a problem with the £16 return trip from door to door in a foreign country considering an airport transfer would be about that one way . It must take a lot of hard work organising 1 bus let alone 7 . I appreciate what he's doing and know a lot of other troops do as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClanDerby Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I'm grateful to Robert McDermott for organising these buses tbh. Saves us a whole load of time and fooking about ultimately. If it was £20 and he was taking a fiver for himself, so what? Fair play for giving up his time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally boy 69 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I ran one bus to Dublin without any profit and it was one massive pain in the hole.....fair play to anyone prepared to do it and if they make a couple quid good on them for the time I know it takes......others on here giving guys a hard time let me know when ur organising a bus for no gain and see how stressed and pissed off u get.....let's all concentrate on the important business of helping the team to try and qualify were off to a good start let's no spoil if with stupid playground pish like this.

monkman Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 If you don't agree with his prices, get a bus elsewhere. But lets be honest, he's doing it for the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Robert you should have told these idiotic arses to go mind their own business a long time ago. FFS there are folk on here who view anyone a making a profit for their efforts as somehow stealing from people. The comment about Dick Turpin said it all. Is he holding a gun to people's heads. They are choosing, do you understand the concept of free markets and freedom of choice... Dick Turnip you are more like. Moronic backwards shit. You are just lucky you are not Irish Robert.

thplinth Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 By the way I saw some utter khunt name checking the recently departed Helen the other day for the usual bullshite rip off pish... which reminds me did croc ever pay you all back or is it just imagined rip offs from dead Irish folk you reminisce about.

washboarder Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 If no one organized buses a lot of us wid be feked, especially when no trains back after the game,or trying to find a bus station while pished, Try getting a bus from edin to glasgow at least £16, Therefore if an organizer makes a profit so be it they are offering a service welcomed by many. if ya dinny like it go elsewhere. A taxi rtn from bratislava is £90 for four and no doubt the people complaining wouldnt think twice about giving a taxi driver a tip. (or maybe they would) On a personal note the bus our crew are going on we are more than happy to pay £15/£16 and would not have a problem leaving the driver a tip too.

mariokempes56 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 The profit aspect was never ever the point - it was pretending to be a pal helping out other fans with no mention of a travel agent (which only came out in the latter stages).
