December is almost upon us. We have three away League games before and during the festive period, with trips to Stevenage, Portsmouth and AFC Bournemouth- AND MEMBERS CAN TRAVEL TO ALL THREE FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF £37.50 so long as they book in advance- or £40 booked individually. That is, undoubtedly, the cheapest way of following the Reds in December- and our coaches are provided by the UK’s Premier Coach Operator to ensure exceptional comfort, safety and reliability.

Here are the details:

On Saturday 15th December we head off to Broadhall Way to face our former Conference rivals Stevenage (they’re no longer a “Borough”). And you can travel there in comfort for almost no money at all! The cost is £12.50 per person. But book as soon as you can if you want to make sure of your seat. The coach leaves the Broadfield Stadium at 11 AM.

On Boxing Day we head down to the South coast to play Portsmouth– in the hope that we manage to play the entire game with eleven men and that they, on this occasion, don’t have 12! The cost of travel will be £12.50 for members or £15 for non members, and the coaches will leave the Broadfield Stadium at 1130 AM. And as a special seasonal offer to our members you can book this and the Bournemouth game the following Saturday for a total of £25, so long as you’ve booked and paid by 15th December.

On Saturday 29th December we head down to pensioners paradise to play AFC Bournemouth– Tubbsy and all! The cost of travel will be £15 for members or £17.50 for non members, and the coaches will leave the Broadfield Stadium at 1030 AM. And as mentioned above, as a special seasonal offer to our members you can book for this and the Portsmouth game on Boxing Day for a total of £25, so long as you’ve booked and paid by 15th December.

As always, there are a number of ways to book Alliance Travel. You can, of course, book directly at the football club during office hours. You can visit Travel Ken in the Alliance Cabin before and after our home games. You can also call or text Travel Ken on 07843124845, or e-mail via travel@ctfcsa.co.uk.

Last season the CTSA were the cheapest official coach providers in the league. It seems the same is true this season too!

If you take a look at our finances- and as an open and transparent supporters trust, you can- you’ll find we price to break even over the course of a season. If we manage to make a profit, great, but we don’t set out to do so. So far this season, we’re just the right side of the balance line, but it isn’t half over yet! What we can promise is that we will always give you the best prices we possibly can, we’ll show you exactly where your money is going, and we won’t spend it on anything frivolous. Any profits will go to benefit you, your football club and your community.

So have a happy and peaceful festive season, and travel CTSA- you won’t be disappointed!
