    They will have to offer something as all Premier League clubs are given 250k by the Premier League which has to be used for such initiatives. Personally I would prefer if they subsidised some tickets for some games up north. London and Midland games are **** easy for is to get to. Northern games will be for the hardcore who I feel deserve the reduction more. Only a few travel on the official coaches. I did it once and I said never again. Was like going on a school trip at Primary School.
    First game: Arsenal vs Queen's Park Rangers at Highbury, Saturday 17th November 1984.

      It would be nice Yousef but travelling in from Kuwait might be a tall order

          Totally agree subsidise tickets at places like Hull , Newcastle , Sunderland etc

          I would rather walk than go on the official coach

              They subsidised tickets at Villa & Stoke to £10 a ticket and sold out both games

              They also offered free coaches for every game

                as you rightly point out not that many fans are too keen to travel on the official coaches so it wouldnt cost that much to provide free or subsidised travel.or as you say subsidise ticket prices for northern games or even both.

                  I agree mate, I go everywhere and subsidised tkts would help as train tkts arnt cheap and away days like Sunderland in mid week need a stop over as well.

                    Great gesture of free coaches, but i don't wanna sit on a coach for 5hrs eating spam sandwiches in silence so tkts are the way forward

                      Fantastic initiative, well done Stoke! Definitely an excellent way to increase your travelling support.
