Aberdeen Fc Bus

[Holyjoe]

Having developed something of a fetish for taking photos of football club buses (mainly Korean, though the Germans can give anyone a run for their money), I distinctly remember Aberdeen had a bus with the club logo emblazoned across it about 10~15 years ago. I seem to recall it was a properly large bus as well, silver/grey in colour with the club logo etc in either white or black.. that said I don't think the club ever used it to travel to games in and instead hired it out to anyone who fancied riding around town in it.

 

Am I going completely mad or did this bus indeed exist?

it did exist.

Definitely was a team bus, used by the team. I remember seeing it at Easter road.

"The 1992 Aberdeen FC club coach Volvo B10M 731 (J11 AFC) is currently with Fraser, Widnes in Cheshire as J28 LGD."

Good stuff! Thanks.

Yeah, mind we got slated in the papers as the bus was used for a granny excursion once.

What a bizarre link.

What a bizarre link.

But a quality link.

 

To bus enthusiasts.

 

To which I'm not.

 

But quality, all the same.

[dervish]

to all of this.

 

(weirdly I might actually have been on that once)

Wouldn't mind a go on the Beaver Bus

Oh it's quality all right. I'm going to make a point of looking for old buses in my travels this week. I know where there is one stowed away quite local.

The team buses I liked best were the open topped ones that went along Union Street. When was the last time that happened?

[Mouse]

Wonder where the open top buses used for our Cup parades are now?

Scrapped I should think, but here's a memory:
