FOOTBALL supporters did not need to be "mollycoddled," a spokesmanfor British Railways told the Scottish Licensing Authority, in Dundee, when he opposed an application by Eastern Roadways, Anstruther, for permission to operate a number of tours mainly for football supporters.
Mr. T. Dougall, said that football enthusiasts, keen on watching their club play, were not inclined to raise difficulties about walking from the station to the ground. The average supporter was accustomed to being "pushed about."
Destinations covered in the application were Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, Methil, Dundee, Aberdeen, Falkirk and Perth, which were all venues of away fixtures of the East Fife Football Club. The applicants also sought to carry supporters to special attractions, such as cup finals, international matches, or visits of touring teams to Glasgow and Edinburgh.
For Eastern Roadways, Mr. J. Fleming said that in addition to members of the East Fife F.C. Supporters Club, who already travel to away games by private hire, he expected a demand from a local school of linguists with some 600-800 personnel, an R.A.F. camp with up to 600 persons, and the general public. Included in the general public were fishermen who were not at home sufficiently regularly to justify them joining the supporters' club,
Mr. Fleming claimed that the ordinary rail and stage services were unsuitably timed, and in some instances would necessitate people taking a halfday off work,
W. Alexander and Sons, Ltd., also objected.
The application was refused.
£40,000 DEFICIENCY ADMITTED
rtA FORMER Oldham haulier and coach operator admitted a deficiency of 140,000 in the Oldham Bankruptcy Court last week. He was Mr. Henry Brown, who agreed that his assets were about £1,464 and that he was first declared bankrupt in 1934.
It was stated that in none of his activities had he declared that he was an undischarged bankrupt, adding that his failure was caused by the difficulties of Shearings Tours (Oldham), Ltd. Adjourning the case indefinitely, the registrar said: " This debtor has rushed headlong into bankruptcy."
