ladysaint Posted 9 September, 2013 Share Posted 9 September, 2013 I work with a Norwich ST holder and they are being offered £12.50 tickets for Stoke away. Who sets this price and did I read somewhere that the PL has given each club an amount of money to encourage away fans or have I just dreamt that up.

matthewb Posted 9 September, 2013 Share Posted 9 September, 2013 No you did hear correctly!! Each club were given by the FAPL about £200,000 each to encourage away support at their clubs! I heard that Liverpool out of their 200k were going to contribute £2 per away ticket for the Liverpool fans. Another team possibly Stoke were running free coaches to a few places as well.

Lets B Avenue Posted 9 September, 2013 Share Posted 9 September, 2013 We are using our 200k to pay Billy Sharp's wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Soze Posted 10 September, 2013 Share Posted 10 September, 2013 Free pint for everyone at away games would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint_jas Posted 10 September, 2013 Share Posted 10 September, 2013 Even the under 18s and teetotallers? Guess a pint of coke or water then !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 10 September, 2013 Share Posted 10 September, 2013 Best option by far is what Liverpool are doing - knocking £2 off every away match ticket this season. Saints have so far been completely silent on what we're doing withour £200k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted 10 September, 2013 Share Posted 10 September, 2013 Even the under 18s and teetotallers? shouldn't be at away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints have so far been completely silent on what we're doing withour £200k! I agree with this it would be good to hear what the club are doing with the £200k and how away fans are going to benefit. They may of course be leaving it until a crucial or an unfashionable game to offer cheap tickets. Norwich have already offered reduced coach travel for one of their games this season and £12.50 match tickets to Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Chelsea chartering a train for a night game away at Man Utd and charging fans £10 return is a good one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like to think our club would do something for the long hauls up to Tyne & Wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe NC will go one better and charter an aircraft to Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Posted 11 September, 2013 Share Posted 11 September, 2013 Much preferred the days of League 1 and the Champ in terms of away games. Great when you could turn up on the day and pay £10/£20 quid to get in, stand wherever you want and with who you want. Surely somethings got to give, take Liverpool at £42. Train was £40+ add on another £20/£30 for food/beer and general costs and you're looking at well over £100. Add too that the fact that pretty much every ground in the PL seems to have a dire atmosphere. Shower of sh*te. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
