L'OOTBALL supporters at -Bracknell. 1 Berks, may travel to Reading P.C. away games on vehicles operated by Smiths Luxury Coaches (Reading), Ltd.. but for home matches they have to use other facilities. Pointing this out to the South Eastern Traffic Commissioners last week, Mr. A. G. Goodeve-Docker, for Smiths, said the position was ludicrous.
He explained that Smiths held an excursion and tours licence from Binfield. with a 'picking-up point at Bracknell, which entitled them to carry passengers to away football fixtures. However, when Reading F.C. played at home Bracknell was excluded as a picking-up point, and the company wanted this restriction removed.
The Commissioners upheld objections by Brimblecombe Bros., Wokingham, and British Railways, both of whom claimed that existing facilities were adequate.
Brimblecombe Bros. also opposed Smiths' request for tours to Gatwick Airport from Reading, pointing out that they had lodged a similar application.
Commissioners made the grant to Smith,. but restricted the vehicle allowance to two instead of the six asked for.
There were no objections to Smiths' application for tours to Sandbanks and for football excursions to Colchester, Nottingham, Mansfield and Newport (Mon). These were granted.
