Bargain of the day - coach to Stoke for £17

When United travel to Stoke for a 12.45pm kick off on Boxing Day, there will be absolutely no public transport that can get you to this game on time.

So it's a choice between driving (or getting a lift off someone), renting a mini bus or getting one of the four or so coaches that will probably be going to this game.

The only one announced so far is the official club coach, provided by Eavesway. It will cost £17 per person.

While £17 would usually be a rip off, it's not bad considering the time of year and the fact that there are few alternatives. You can book it here.

However, this blog is considering taking a step into the unknown - providing its very own Blog Bus to this game at a more affordable price, with localised stops thrown in.

If you're interested, email redsaway@hotmail.co.uk though I don't expect people to do so until after the ballot has been sorted.
