Not disputing the calibre of the fans who used to come from out of town on the bus and it's just a shame the demand for one dropped off. A bus still picks up in the East Riding villages and returns on matchdays. I suppose that service too would be pulled if the demand waned and it no longer paid for itself. Also a little known fact about the KC. There is a free shuttle service bus that parks up just inside the gates to the KC from Anlaby Road which takes those who find it difficult in walking as close to the perimeter of the stadium as they can. It returns after the game. Several disabled fans park up near where the bus parks up. I know because I drove it for a while.
And to think that there were people out on that pitch who were actually making a living. It's a funny old game, innit?

" I 'ate yer, get that bus out Clarky" The views expressed in my posts care not necessarily mine.
It didn't last long, first of all you miss out on the pre match beer and I had to leave before the final whistle to get the bus ready. But it is a little known service which some of the regulars totally relied on, but not for me. Last I heard the bus was being driven by a Hull Red. He doesn't mind missing seeing 'his' team play.
In my case ureka peece I would have to also get a taxi from station to the kcom and from k com and back to the train station Worked out £60+ a home game If health had been a touch better I may have considered it at times Iv done it many times when younger even on the East Yorkshire bus that took hours Most of the folk on the bus from Filey were older and less able then me A number of the grandads drifted away with the price increase and also stopped taking a grandson or 2 with the increased ticket prices For me going to Scarborough was a simple 10 min drive to the ground and 10 mins back and £12 at the turnstiles I did not think I would enjoy going as much as I did but the standing were you want...the noise...the atmosphere .. the fans all United together got me hooked much to my suprise . It's like the old days at BP with home and away fans standing next to each other If the coach still ran and the prices hadn't increased everyone who use to go to city still would go and I would never have dreamed of going to watch Scarborough play I now own 1 share in the club No one can own more then one share even the chairman. Everything gets voted on by the fans At the next meeting I may try to change the name from Scarborough Athletic to Scarborough deckchairs and the club badge to a stick of rock...as for kids under 11 being let in for free that's bloody stupid
We lost ....our 4th defeat in a row We had 15 shots. Lancaster had 1 shot. Same old story we just can't score To much passing about We play good football...but by the time the ball is in the penalty area so are 8 or 9 defenders and most shots just get blocked by a sea of legs including our own players getting in the way Scarborough need to go back to playing hoof ball like most teams do in this league This style off footy doesn't work Coulson and walshaw our usual front 2 were leading goalscorers last season and the season before But do no good with our managers style of pretty football . Still I had a good day as usual. 1,057 at the game About 60 away fans who where very vocal and it nearly kicked of until loads of cops turned up Witton Albion away on the 23 Nov Whitby Town at home sat 30th of Nov We all hate Whitby
Grrrr That's 6 games in a row we have lost ...we got beat 5-1 against dunston last Tuesday in the league cup ....Dunston play in the league below us and are near the bottom . Same old story we can't bloody score and it's been the same all season John Deacey has got Scarborough playing pass pass pass side ways pass backwards football and is sticking with it We finally get near their goal and everyone is in the box and all shots are deflected away Deacey out is the most popular chant . Long ball works best in this league. A tall centre half and a tall target man Tuesday 26th we play a village team at home in the north riding cup Scarborough v Staithes if we lose the **** will hit the fan Then Saturday we play hated our arch rivals Scarborough v Whitby Town I will be at both games win draw or lose A few more defeats and John Deacey must lose his job. Imo
League Table Still it's not the result that matters the most to me , getting to home games is a huge victory what ever the score
Staithes brings back memory's of going there on a vespa scooter Ben with Brakes needing urgent attention
