Count me in if there is a coach.

I've just emailed safriquin with that very sentiment!

Depending on demaind, we will confirm if we are indeed running a coach by Thursday

Thanks SQ

I've booked too..assuming we get enough people, of course1

I don't know whose choice it was but 7pm on a bank holiday monday is a rotten time to hold the match

All A League games are on a Mon evening, including Finals, don't know why though.
Please come along, and make sure that you print off one of the free vouchers otherwise you might have to pay.
Always a good evening for all, but expect it to be be busy in the ground. Food and beer on sale all evening.
Hope to see you there.

It just seems a bit odd when it's a bank holiday that's all, it means a very late return for those travelling north.

It also means some of us with young kids won't be able to go at all

50% Angel, 50% Devil and 100% Quin!

We are coming, 2nd coach trip to leicester in 2 weeks. At least not driving means I can sleep on the way back.

fingers crossed, no conked out & flaming cars in the middle of the M25 this time

Is there no chance the Club can put pressure on Leics to bring the KO time forward? It makes sense.

Daft day, daft time. Is it because the A games are usually on a Monday? You would think they could choose a non-Bank holiday for once! Roads will be full. A real shame because I go to all the home A games and the last two were real crackers!

I suppose if the ko time, or day was changed, then all those supporters who have been to all the other rounds would moan that they can't make the final when they have been to all the other games ? Also unfair ?

But the fact it's on a bank holiday makes a big difference doesn't it?

Toying with the idea of going. If a coach is running, is it open to non-QUINSSA members?

Yep, all coaches are open to anyone, members get them at a discounted price, as it says at the top of the thread:

Costs:
Member: £19.00
Non Member: £22.00
Senior member: £15.00
Senior Non member: £19.00
1st u16: Free
U16: £15.00

Coach is definately going to Leicester! It is an opportunity to support the team win some siverware this season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Dep; Stoop 14:30
Return 21:00

Go on go on go on, you know you want to!!

Drop us a mail to book on coaches@quinssa.org.uk

Looks like a last minute dash by train up. Does anyone know how long it takes to get to the stadium from the train station?

QUIN KONG

10 minute walk

Don’t know if they use the Ref-Link for A League games, but the ones from the Stoop worked at Welford Road last Saturday for the Guinness Premiership Game. Hope to see you there, what time is the coach likely to arrive at the ground?

Last night Skins said that all the squad were taking a coach up to the final. Great stuff! They have always been there to support the Academy and this is support in force.

Should be there by 5 - 5:30-ish depending on traffic

Aston Croall captains Quins side in A League final
There is no doubt that tonight's A League final will be tough challenge for the Quins A side at Welford Road. Quins A V Leicester Development, Monday 3rd May. Kick off 7pm. Welford Road.
Although a daunting trip for any side, Quins A will face a team that not only includes Internationally capped players, but also a couple of British and Irish Lions who will be looking to take the game to Quins from the first whistle.
With the likes of Dan Hipkiss, Julian White, Sam Vesty and Harry Ellis, the Leicester A team hold more England caps than the current Quins first team and, with other Internationals such as Lucas Amorosino at full-back, the young Quins A squad will have to be at their best to stand up to this strong Tigers side.

Quins though have some impressive victories behind them, which includes the dominating defeats of Wasps A in the pool stages, along with Leeds A in the semi-finals and Quins will be looking to upset the Tigers in front of their home crowd and regain the title that they last won in the 2003/04 season.

There are a number of changes to the squad that took on Leeds A last Monday night at the Stoop.
After impressing the Quins coaches with his Premiership debut performance against Leicester Tige

rs less than two weeks ago, along with a strong performance against Leeds A, Joe Marler retains his starting position inthe front row. He will be joined by Dan Frazier and Aston Croall who, with Neil McMillan absent with an injury sustained against Leeds A, takes up the Captaincy.

In the second row Tomas Vallejos is joined by Charlie Mattthews and Tom Guest comes in to complete the pack.
In the backs, Rory Clegg and Sam Smith will also make the return trip to Welford road. They will be joined by Tom Casson, who comes in to replace Tosh Masson, and Nils Mordt. After helping the Royal Navy to victory at Twickenham, Josh Drauniniu starts on the bench, Olly Lindsay-Hague on the wing and Tom Williams returns from injury to take his position at full-back. Sam Stuart, who is still at school, follows in the footsteps of Danny Care, starting at scrum-half.

Quins fans will be pleased to see Mark Lambert on the bench after a long injury absence.
