compo 7,229 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 How many of our fans still travel to the games these days on a bus through a supporters club I used to have a look at the buses to see if they had a shield or a pennant telling you were they travelled from I remember one that came from Aberlour that's next to Elgin a fair old travel for the fans . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,299 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I still go on my hometown supporters bus, although I moved to the capital in '98. I've had some great laughs on the bus over the years and met lots of characters (some good, some not so good). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great lad, traveled all over Europe to watch the Rangers. I believe it was a five/six day trip to Romania/Bulgaria on a coach that resulted in an aneurysm? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been going on the bus for about 14-15 years now but John was on before my time so i never knew who he was or anything 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember an RSC in Aberlour. The Moray club is Burghead Loyal. Picks up all over the County. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,299 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Is John Niven a continuation of the Union Jack bus? I got on that a couple of times in the late 90s. Used to like the Spider's Web boozer (where the UJ bus departed) but it's a gentrified gin bar now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,299 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I recall a big guy named Coco on the UJ bus. Vague memories though - typical boozed up away games. One of the funniest memories on my own RSC bus was trip to the Piggery, also in the late 90s. We were stuck in traffic, so a lad got off for a p*ss (by some billboards, not far from the ground) and we all saw two Policemen walking towards him, so banged the windows and pointed towards them...he assumed we were waving at him, so he waved back (whilst p*ssing) and ended up getting lifted and missing the match. I think that was the '98 SC semi. Weird the things that stick with us. ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
