European travel by bus CANCELLED!

[oconnors_strip]

Im very sad to say that the trip to Slovenia has been cancelled due to not having a bus

Two companies let us down really bad and I have phoned another 17!!!!!!! Its far to short notice for them or the cost is far to high for us.

On behalf of Lee and myself we are very sorry for letting you down and the disappointment you will all be feeling. We are feeling the same and I am more so since I did lots of phoning around the past 2 days.

I hope you can find other ways of getting to the game, and if not maybe we will see you in behind the goals if Hibs do the right and sensible thing and get a beam back.

Sorry again

Nikki and Lee

Just to add what Nikki was sayin there ... we have tried our hardest since tuesday night to try and get this sorted however the first comapany let us down and then we got another one in place hwoever they informed me this morning they had contracts to fill and had to canecl us.

Care to name and shame the companies involved who let you down?

[legends of 73]

Blox to em I say - if they've let you down why on earth would you want to use them again in the future? Its the nature of business - its down to service - they've failed you so the business should go elsewhere next time.

PS - sure everyone on here recognises that you two have been left high and dry by them and the disappointment would be aimed where it should be instead of at you. Good effort as the other poster says.

[ronaldo7]

Well done for trying guys.

[Toaods]

at this time of the year there is summer holidays and don't forget driver have to work to time restrictions too....very difficult to arrange at short notice and usually rarely would you receive the proper acknowledgement for the time and effort concerned....

as i have experience of how coach companies run and regulations of drivers hours and rest etc i thought it would help in getting a bus but no such luck

thanks to other people who helped with contacts and advice

[blackpoolhibs]

Great effort both of you.

thanks. its good to know some fans appreciate the work it goes into arranging things like this

[WeAreHibs]

I'm gutted for you guys. I was reading the previous thread with envy that I couldn't go and admiration for the hard work you were putting in to sort it for "the boys".

Well done again !

Would it not be worth booking up at the moment as the more that book the more chance that the price will go down to £535. Worth it for another £65 with possibility of getting some change if enough bookings are made?

[Jack]

I'm trying to set up a MPV, details on the PM board. If you're not a PM PM me :-) and I'll get back to you tomorrow.
.
Good effort Nikki, well done Lee.
.
Any ideas what I can do with 109 song sheets?

[Pretty Boy]

Was a great effort on the part of you boys to even attempt something like this at such short notice.

If we get to the group stages and we have a bit more forewarning of away opponents then it may be worth looking at again. I would love to do a European trip by bus as for me it just seems the traditional way to do it.

Fair do's. Would have thought they should have been looking at getting one in from somewhere else if you'd booked though...

[Jack]

A few of us who where on the bus are now hiring a MPV. I'm just waiting to have the type of vehicle confirmed.
.
It might be that it is a couple of seats bigger than originally planned. So it could be we have a couple of spare seats. If anyone wants to fill them PM me AND o'connors strip (Nikki). Pricing will be about the same as the bus.

[Hibbyradge]

Bad luck folks. Great effort.

Hopefully you'll get the chance to come to the fore for the next round!
