    Reading the official website I noticed the away fans fund is still not being used for forthcoming games.

    At Palace towards the end of April the admission fee is £32 and Tiger Travel is £30.

    Looks like the Allams are continuing their spitefulness towards our supporters.

    I think he's spent it on Hull Fc fans to make their experience better

    Can he just pocket the money or is there some stipulation on how it should be spent, if so how can he get away with not using it?

    Joking apart, this is disgusting, we're given £200k to fund tickets/travel to away games and other than a small amount spent on discounted travel to Arsenal(which was kept a secret), we've seen none of it.

    Those comfy looking leather recliners that are scattered around the east stand away concourse must have cost a bit though.....

    Is this down to inept management or is it just contempt and vindictiveness towards fans?

    AA probably gets a hard-on thinking that this FA money which should be for the fans, has indirectly been spent on lawyers pursuing the name-change
    arbitration case.

    Money from the FA for the fans being used against both the FA and fans.

    I think that's how his thought process works.

    It would be nice to think the FA would audit how these funds are spent, fat chance...

    Seriously right, why isnt this being challenged by the media? I've tweeted both Buckingham and Burns and neither replied or acknowledged. Is there someone at the Premier League who can be contacted about this? It's a really serious issue and it is unceremoniously being swept under the carpet.

    Go live on radio Humberside sports talk and ask the presenter directly to ask the club, that way you will get an answer straight away regarding if the radio station will pursue it

    They wont, they'll say "we'll look into it". It would help highlight the issue though.

    Some of the money is being spent on the match day experience, starting with Swansea game, instead of discounted tickets as asked for by the FWG.

    It's turned into a farce.

    As Muffin says, we're apparently spending some of it on improving the match-day experience for those travelling to Swansea and Southampton, but I doubt a free pie for a few hundred travelling fans is going to placate anyone.

    We've been turned over on this one, I think we're going to find that the money was used to fund the alterations to the away end at the KC.

    Phil is on the case, but he's he's not getting much further than anyone else.

    Educated guess or inside information?

    Mainly an educated guess, though I do know for certain that some of the money has been spent on the away end.
