This could be rather embarrassing for the Oban Yes group.

Only six seat sold!!!!!!!

Click on Oban bus here http://www.independencerally.com/coach/ and then order 50 tickets and go to checkout......comes back with only 46 still available !

I am, of course, assuming its a 52 seater coach.

Lets hope there's a last minute rush eh. :D

Just checked Fort William......zero tickets sold !

You really ARE on a mission for UKOK, aren't you? I think you are getting a tad obsessed.

We're probably going to drive down and stay in town for the post-rally party. Others may well be doing the same.

Seems 'Better Together' aren't holding any rallies. Hardly surprising when you look at the miserable audiences at their events.

What's Ukok ?

The only clue google gives is a plateau in Siberia.

Were you trying to be rude/dirty or something ?

Nothing personal intended. UKOK is/was a rather badly thought out logo/slogan for the Better Together campaign. Click the pic below for the opportunity to win a 'fabulous UKOK T-Shirt':

I think BT have dropped this one now they realise that it is likely to be pronounced the same way people pronounce UKIP . . . it wasn't one of their smartest ideas.

Thanks. Smart Tshirt . Competition duly entered; fingers crossed.

I see you're driving down to Edinburgh for Salmond's march in a few weeks.

I doubt it'll get much covereage on TV or the papers so how about taking a few photos and posting them here so we can judge whose estimate of the numbers (Salmond's or BBC's) is more accurate.

I predict that it'll get less than last year which was (at the top end of estimates) 10,000 or 0.2% of Scotland's population.

As an aside I see Rangers are not playing that day. Hmmmmm ! May boost numbers I suppose.
