Bazm Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Just been contacted by Alan Bygate from the bowling club to advise that the bus booking did not turn up at the club as arranged with Leah.As usual the club had food awaiting your arrivalCan somebody let me know if there was a problem with getting there?

sixties saintee Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Bad reflection on Saints if there was not a genuine reason for not attending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazm Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 So here is the info I got"The bus did not get into Edinburgh until nearly 13.50""The bus driver also had difficulty finding the bowling club."The bus was advertised to leave Perth at 12.30 this time advertised prior the booking at the Bowling Club being taken, It would not be expected to be at the Bowling Club much earlier that 13.50 so why commit to the booking and leave the Bowling Club high and dry with the cost of the catering they provided.Quite why the bus driver would find difficulty getting to the Bowling Club considering there were many patrons on the bus who had been there many times before and knew where it was and have the capability to access direction info on mobile phones is astonishing.To answer Tam (Sixties Saintee) this is not a poor reflection on Saints at all, but a highly embarrassing issue to the Barossa Street bus section.I could not care less where the bus subsequently went before the game but I do expect someone from the Committee to e-mail the Bowling Club to apologise for their non appearance.

sixties saintee Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 To clarify what I meant Bazm, not everyone at the Bowling Club would be aware the bus did not come from McDairmaid and would associate it with Saints themselves, also agree with your comments.

As nothing further has been posted on the subject, I take it no one from the committee has had the decency and courtesy to reply to your post or contacted you personally.Sad reflection on Barossa St. Saints.Lets just hope that the next bus away to Killie leaves as advertised, as I have booked lunch at The Howards Arms.(Ancientsaint is paying, well he did offer and it would be rude to refuse) sixties saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxLeahSaintxX Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I haven't been on the forum for a few weeks as I have been incredibly busy with work.I understand you spoke to Postie regarding the issue and it has been dealt with.Of course an email will be sent or a phone call will be made apologising about what had happened.

lethamsaintee Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 There seems to be a few inaccuracies here. Firstly, It was NOT arranged through Leah, she was simply the messenger.We left Perth in decent enough time but due to a mixture of an accident and the bus driver taking a route that was off the beaten track we arrived in Gorgie much later than usual. By the time we arrived there it would have been pointless going there anyway as given the distance from the ground we'd have to have left around 2.20/2.30 to ensure we arrived in time for kick off.There will be an apology made of course.
