Does it need to exist? Does it exist?
I'm so glad when I started going on coaches as a 14 year old on my own, I didn't come up against people/ a person like on this thread, I was treated with respect by older heads. Doesn't seem like that's the way now.

Spot on. I despise those who jump at the chance of a big club in town, or a freebie away trip.

In our years in this league our away support has averaged 80-100 so to be over 100 I think is pretty decent given our mediocre start to the season.
I really support the club/Stewart running travel to away games and hope we continue to do so. I realise there is a cost to it, but there is a benefit as well. Even if you look at a bigger game Swindon away, a number of coaches were laid on at a cost of several thousand pounds but I am sure our support helped us win that night and the value of that in terms of prize money/gate money/coverage etc is significant.
Also agree that it could be done a bit better with more publicity and announced earlier in advance.

On the subject of The Spitfires Supporters Club you will need to ask Kev Bennett (Chairman) about money/membership etc. He doesn’t post on here but he’s the admin on TSSC Facebook page. I believe that the club doesn’t always want to work with TSSC so they are unable to work towards their Mission Statement without the clubs support. I believe there was a difference of opinion concerning the coach stewards.

Why on earth would a coach of adults need stewards?

As stated in my earlier post a number of fans are under 18 and it is oft(but not always) them who make trouble. Stewards are there to assist the driver in making sure those who travel have booked and paid and checks them on/off coaches at the start/end and in between. Other duties may arise depending on behaviour but they are volunteers unlike those in the ground where stewards also mix will adults and youngsters.

I suppose I shouldn't mention this, but AFC Stoneham had 228 fans at Yeovil. Pretty impressive. And as I said, I wasn't amongst them.
Some quite concerning comments re our away travel above.
