I know of loads of buses going, privately and those who go regular with the travel club.

Between £25 and £30 seems to be the average.

I think the average cost the coach company's are charging is £1100. All in. Emmision Charge and £80 to park at Wembley.

But you have to take into cosiderations kids will be on the bus and paying £15.

I was speaking to someone from the travel club recently and he said they are running 5 coaches, with one at a loss of £200 but they
are making up the difference from money raised through the season.

Considering they normaly only take one coach to every game I think that is a great gesture. They are basicly susidising a bus for non regular travelers out of the money they make on trips paid for by regulars all to help City Fans get to Wembley

On one of my buses I am actually losing £250 due to the cost of the bus coupled with the amount of kids.

The emission charge of £200 per bus is a killer.
