It's not really off his own back, he does it full time now as a business. Not like he's doing it out the goodness of his heart. Not that I'm saying it's not hard work and time consuming and stressful, but he'll be making an absolute killing out of this.Has spent the last few days sorting coaches , pubs etc for supporters for Wembley off his own back .You may know James from the twist and shout magazine or the lad who sells badges .
He just put this on Facebook
3678 people
62 coaches
12 coach firms
5 pubs/ clubs
1 SKY BLUE ARMY!
Tremendous effort by James
Not quite true, but I am going from both the Nugget and the Wallace apparently, as well as on at least two trains.It’s all great until he realised 3639 of the booking are Otis’!
Yeah, missed last year.Otis is it true you missed last year? If so hope this game matches it.
He was destined to sell tickets
Indeed! Can't believe that people will actually go on the official coaches at their prices.Well he is selling them £10 cheaper then the club and still making money fair play to him.
Jimbos Sky blue Army.
It was just a hobby but he was saying to me (around MK Dons/Brighton timeish) that he was leaving work to do it full time.It's his full time job to sort coaches out for cov games or it's something he does for other things as well?

Yep. Indeed.
Saw him in the Wallace with all his bits of paper and lists of coaches and people on them.
That took quite some organising. Hats off to him.
I know Jimbo and he is a good lad, certainly makes a massive effort and has even chartered a plane to the friendlies in Spain.
Done a phenomenal job of organising so many coaches for the playoff final, but he is doing it as a business now so it isn't like he is doing it unpaid or anything. That said, he always did the Twist and Shout stuff and has the club dearly at heart.
Jimbo, if you're reading this - great job mate, but stop spamming the facebook forum
...Ah, who am I kidding, it's full of trolls anyway!
No places left for the Wallace, but there were from the Nugget.Any info on this? I live relatively close to The Wallace so if there’s a coach service, I’d like to get in touch!
It certainly isn't enough to make a living from .
Wouldn't broadcast some of it so much ,like drinking .
He's a good lad, absolute City Nut.
Good luck to him ,hope he's got some good Lieutenants to help marshall things on the day, and all goes smoothly.
He deserves some level of reward as the risk is with him.
I left my cash at the Nugget last night and just waiting for James to confirm - def places left though according to the pub. He needs paying by tomorrow thoughNo places left for the Wallace, but there were from the Nugget.
I can PM you his phone number if you want?
Ah, I wondered what that cash was.I left my cash at the Nugget last night and just waiting for James to confirm - def places left though according to the pub. He needs paying by tomorrow though
Bet there was a brown stain in the bottom where he didn’t stir it properly.the drivers side kick made me a cup of coffee on the official one game last season. You can't put a price on that kind of service.
Haha......I could have done with half of it being taken as Ive been talked into both the Missus and my Mum coming with me and my son.....One's a scouser who supports Everton and just sniggers at Cov games and my Mum hasn't got a clue whats going on at the best of times.....every bone in my body said don't do it....but feck it....share the enjoyment of a famous City day out.Ah, I wondered what that cash was.
Unfortunately (well for you anyway) I bought my daughter an iPad mini case with it.
Nominative determinism?
Fair play to you James. I for one think you could of charged a little more for Wembley. Great trip and well organised. Top man.
