    We're supposed to be given details of what our £200k fan fund is being used for at the next Fan Working Group meeting. I think we're getting discounted tickets for Southampton away, probably also Swansea away, maybe even Palace away if there's enough left in the pot.

    200k could probably pay for entire away following for the season.

    Given some of our away followings they could pay the full price of those three games. With an average of say 1,500, and that may be on the high side, that gives £133 for each fan. Of course Inrealise if it was announced it was free loads more would want to go.

    It should get a few more racists in.

    The game is on tv, that's why they have reduced them.

    As for Chelsea, they are the last club to talk about over priced match tickets. FFS.

    19 league aways at 1,500 per game. Just subsidise £5 off all away ticket prices. Total cost £142,500. Use the rest to subsidise tickets further against teams we are likely to be most competitive against.

    They're better off targeting specific games with bigger discounts to try and get more there, reducing a £50 ticket by a fiver isn't going to make any difference to someone deciding if they'll attend a game or not.

    I appreciate what you're saying. I was just taking a broad brush approach and using the bit left. From a commercial perspective (Allam's perspective) they receive no money from away gates. In this case the best chance of a return is to get as high up the table as possible (i.e. Heavily discount tickets against Leicester, Burnley, QPR, Sunderland, WBA, Villa etc. to improve or chances of getting results in those games)

    Out of nearly 19,000 post that he has made, have you ever seen him post anything that you could call remotely useful?:emoticon-0136-giggl

    Why don't you tell us about it then? Instead of acting like a clever dick over it...
