Yes, that is good news. Will help at clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U.

 

...and for those away fans over 65?

 

It will but I rather enjoyed the idea that, if we wished to do so, we could squeeze Scousers, Goons, mancs and chavs till the pips squeaked. Still, it's good news for those who are a little less childish.

 

Ticket prices down to £30, booking fees, printing tickets, postage up to £15. Maybe I am being cynical?

 

No paper tickets and the universal electronic card thingy will cost £250 a season

 

Beers and programmes will probably go up.

 

And those under 16? (Mini Bloother I should add , not me)

 

Is that a joke ,or are they taking the PiXX 15.00 what they doing sending it Fedx .I hope they charge home fans the same

 

I wonder if we'll see coach travel for £1 next season, as I assume it was paid for with the Premier League away fans subsidy, which now gets scrapped.

 

£30 is still expensive when other costs , such as travel are factored in .
Think £ 20 fairer ... In addition , away tickets should only be available to singing fans and those with sound bladders .

 

I hope that you are not being serious 1963!

My bladder is not quite what it was 40 years ago. My voice is now not robust enough to manage the odd shout or two these days, thanks to many years singing for the Horns at top volume at such places as Darlington, Southport, Barrow, Lowestoft, Cheltenham, Aldershot, Torquay, Wrexham etc.

Have I earned the right to sit next to you at away games without your severe criticism?

 

Only being serious about £20 per away ticket ..
If you can manage the occasional squeak , I think your weakening bladder can be excused . .. ( my bladder is also not what it used to be ) .
I don't do away games .. don't have the pennies and as a non season ticket holder is just about impossible to get away tickets for league games .

 

PM me if you want any away tickets, I only go to a few now.

 

Thanks for the offer ...do you have the chance to get a couple of tickets at a time ? ...as the boss lady would want to tag along to .
Cheers Jim

 

yes

 

i still think £20 is plenty but it's a start. However, i've heard they might reduce allocation to make up for the shortfall, that'd be idiotic!

 

swansea away was 17.50 plus 1.00 travel from the vic got home at 3.30 LOL

 

As it says in the article, it means that Villa and the other 2 that drop won't have to comply with that.
