First Wazzock 902 Posted October 9, 2013 Having been given £200,000 by the Premier League to reduce the cost for away fans, how do you think the club should spend it?I see Stoke have confirmed free away travel to all games, which is good. Should we go down the same route?We are one of 6 clubs who have made no announcement yet on how they will spend the money, so, what do we think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted October 9, 2013 one free away game for all away season ticket holders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flecky76 0 Posted October 9, 2013 Wazzy, not sure how you conclude that the club have not advised how they are to spend this money this season. There have all ready been the well-documented following incentives:Free travel to HullSubsidised 50% of the match tickets at StokeFree travel Man Utd£10 off tickets to Man CityUnsure what more communication you are expecting form the club, but these seem great incentives so far!! More to come throughout the season from what McNally said last night as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barclaystand 0 Posted October 9, 2013 The Premier League haven''t given NCFC the £200000, it is in fact the clubs money which they have ring-fenced for the Away fund. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wazzock 902 Posted October 9, 2013 Sorry Flecky, I have just quoted this from the BBC. This would appear to be how the club is using the money. Have they said this is what they are doing with it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted October 9, 2013 The free travel doesn''t help poor me living up in Yorkshire! Perhaps they could pick me up on the way to Newcastle and Sunderland? I''ll even make my way to Wetherby services for them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same way Jas'' suggestion doesn''t help the thousands of us too far away from Carrow Road to have a season ticket who only really have the opportunity to go to away games, but have been doing so loyally for years.

This way, at least our away fans will see some attempted shots at the opposition goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zak Van Burger 0 Posted October 10, 2013 Well... as we''re talking about "away fans" it seems inappropriate to help a local so how about somebody from outside the County, say Suffolk for instance? Then we''d need to find somebody who has often bemoaned their inability to attend FCR for financial, transport or medical reasons. It should be a staunch supporter of no fewer than fifty years standing, a fan who is behind the club for better or for worse, a fan who stood up to Chase and the police horses and "drove the bu99er out" See even that has narrowed it down too much, can''t think of anyone who meets the criteria,,,[:S] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted October 10, 2013 "....... of no fewer than fifty years standing"or sitting come to thatotherwise if there is a problem with travel I would be happy to ''drive the bu gger'' up to Carrow Roadit is an open top convertible but you can still hear the radio ok- and even see the Cathedral, once you get near enough to the groundwe could get ourselves into the spirit of things with a few rousing choruses of ''On the ball City''at the right speed that is (the song as well as the car) ''... splendid rush, bravo we all cry '' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
