A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO ALL

Wed May 08, 2013 6:00 pm

I want to say thank you to everyone who travelled on Carlos Coaches this season, we have had yet another fantastic season of trips and many special memories to recollect.

I have provided the coaches and organised the tickets and pub stops but it is the people who travel that create the laughs and supply the mad moments throughout the season.

The regulars have their place on the bus, from the back row Neath and Port Talbot and the front seats reserved for Newport's finest through the rest of the bus the majority like to sit in their regular seat and the hardest part for me is ensuring you have your regular spot. :lol:

We started with one coach four seasons ago and have taken three coaches to some away games this season and without the help of my brother Jamie and Steve Green then my job would have been far more difficult, cheers to the pair of you. :ayatollah:

We have increased from one official photographer in Nips to having two since Bart became a regular this season.

Steve Troobloo went out of his way on a few occasions this season, he got a shirt signed by Malky for Dave Cannon who emigrated to Australia only to return within days, he missed the away days that much. Steve collected tickets for me and bought all the party wear for the final away against Hull, thanks Steve. :ayatollah:

Highlights of the season for me was the trips to Bolton with a stop off in Blackpool on the way home, Peterborough and the Harlem Shake, Burnley away was unforgettable birthday weekend for myself and that trip and journey back was without doubt the best party atmosphere I have experienced on the bus.

The earlier trips to Charlton and Milllwall were great in their own right, for many reasons, those who were there will probably still laugh at Barry climbing in the shop window in Haymarket with the mannequins. :lol:

We made our first trip with Wales this season and will always be remembered for Thomas Fish having Carlos Coaches tattooed on his leg. :ayatollah:

We have managed to run a successful bus which caters for children and those who like to drink and party, we have continually kept a line of decency and always followed the rules of meeting police and towed the party line, so for that I want to thank you all for following the rules of the bus and complying to them.

Of course being a Premier League club excites me but the trips themselves don't matter we are going we always enjoy and long may that continue.

:ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

For me Marc that is the thing I am most proud of, the people who come from different areas have become such close friends, you can't plan for that but you can plan who you allow on the coach and that is what makes the mix work :ayatollah:

A job well done bro.

Without your dedication to providing a service that has several pick up points, then i doubt if several of the trippers would have been able to travel. Also the pubs you source in advance is an added bonus which helps create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere within the group, which in turn helps limit the amount of bad press usually associated with Cardiff City fans.

It's been great for me, and a privalage in helping you. :notworthy:

But please can you have John Bamsay next season, he's a right miserable tw*t :lol:
