Potential open top bus celebration (16 Viewers)

Otis · 2026-03-12T20:14:24+0000

Not trying to tempt fate here at all, so this is an IF thread, but IF we do get promoted, when is an official celebration likely to happen?

Bank holiday Monday 4th May? Last game is due to be played on Saturday 2nd.

Just wondering, because I really, really want to come up for it, if we do go up, but am on a bloody party cruise that weekend (not my choice

).

Dock back in the UK on Monday 4th.

Likely to be that BH isn't it? That's if it's all sewn up by then. If it went down to the wire, it would surely be the following weekend

Also, something else that could possibly delay it would be that we are officially promoted, but that the champions position is not sealed. Again, that would surely make it the following weekend wouldn't it?

What do we reckon?

Hopefully that 87 bus in the motor museum is still running they could get that back out .

Would be great as a nod to the past but I think it would be fitting to cover up all the 87 mentions/signs etc on the bus with ones celebrating the league victory,I just think if these lads pull it off and win the league it needs to be celebrated in its own right as an amazing achievement.

Agree... im sure there are companys that deal in open top/sight seeing buses which can be customised

Fuck wheeling out a 40 year old bus. The lads deserve better than that.

But such history with it and it's so iconic.

If it's running okay, I would absolutely love them to be riding that around town.

LastGarrison · 2026-03-12T23:00:16+0000

Didn’t they have it out for one of the marches? I’m sure my mate played guitar on it and I’ve got a photo by it with a can of Red Stripe in hand!

Sky_Blue_Daz · 2026-03-12T23:05:45+0000

I know it was driven up to the Train station the day of the FA Cup semi final

New history new icons. Not everything has to harp back to the good old days. Should we wheel Dave Bennet and Oggy out too?

I think it's a class idea - absolutely fine for this one time - obviously we wouldn't wheel it out everytime we happen to get promoted back up to the Prem but,fuck me,it's better than a shit DJ on a rooftop we got for our promotion to the Championship

fernandopartridge · 2026-03-12T23:56:43+0000

We'll have a procession of Uber cabriolets, one per player

With 9 games today and it is an IF. Not saying when.

Why have we also got threads then that are ... "Statement signings if we go up?" And "How much money can we expect for being champions?" And "Who is planning to get "Champions 25/26" tattoo early?"

What's the difference?

I started the thread because I want to come up to any celebration IF we go up.

That's why I put IF. I would need to put preparations in place in order to make it.

Just asking IF we are promoted, when do people think an open top bus parade might happen.

there’s a difference between “who would be a good signing if we go up” and “when do you think the open top bus parade would be”

you are angering the football gods

edgy · 2026-03-13T07:02:33+0000

The parade will obviously start at the CBS and head north up the A444, through Beduff and onto and finishing in Nuneaton.

The club should be honoring the fans that stuck with the club through those dark days.

SwanLane · 2026-03-13T07:21:29+0000

That ‘87 bus was made in Coventry and has other historic significance. I’d say bring it out for the parade but maybe get another for any possible trophy waving by the current team.

Great answer but it’s premature

Ashdown · 2026-03-13T07:32:06+0000

All of this has started to cross my mind too to be honest. Don’t want to tempt fate either but will be going abroad from May 11th so the 4th for us would be lovely, cheers ta

🩵

TomRad85 · 2026-03-13T07:38:22+0000

"Who would you sign?" threads are ok. This one... nah not for me.

9. And most bookies aren't even taking odds on us to go up anymore. Just accept it's happening and embrace it, mate.

clint van damme · 2026-03-13T08:03:29+0000

It's a given they'll be a parade surely?
All dayer, cans and smoke bombs in Broadgate, great stuff.

I really can't see the difference between "Statement signings IF we go up?" And when would a parade be IF we go up.
