How to get 'Match Mates'

[Stephen1878]

ST Holder this season and Im just wanting to go to many Away games as I can however as im 18, not many people (In my opinion) have got the money to do so, well my friends havn't due to Uni ect.

So I was just thinking, How do I get match mates!
Sorry if its in the wrong section!

Find out if there's a coach that goes from any pubs you live near. Get someone to go to one or two and then once you know a few lads off it you'll be sound.

I was thinking that but as im only a young'n!
Cheers anyway.
I would imagine that its different people who get on the coaches each time or is it the same people usually?

Coaches are a good idea mate , a lot of lads I know have increased their match going group on the back of it . You tend to get the same core of a group that goes and it does make it easier to chat and get to know people.

As sheeds said mate, you get mostly the same lads goin from the same pubs. Helps if you know someone to get on it like.

Most people are sound with other match goers as long as your sound yourself.

There's a lad on here Toffee Mints who runs a coach I think. Might be worth giving him a PM.

Edit - Stay away from the crocky/blue house coach. Your a bit green for thier capers.

Similar predicament to me, although I didn't have the money for an ST at the start of the season so I just get what I can off stubhub.

I feel for your predicament. I was fortunate to have a dad and uncle who go the game home and away quite regular to this day. We always took some friends but it would of been hard to sort out with other uni students, my vice was Everton others liked nightclubs, it's an awkward time.
