Mounts Kipper Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 This is surely one the club should offer free travel to - especially to the regulars who never miss and who've already been to night matches at Norwich, Fulham, Millwall, Charlton, Boro. The fact is, if/when we go back up we've got more of this shit to put up with. And we'll get charged 15 or 20 quid more for the privilege of a ticket. It's fucking nonsense. Won't matter then because we won't be taking many away at £40-50 a ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an Anglo Italian Cup voucher so should get travel both ways with the team and a free ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjack Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Which was nicely boosted to over 1250 on Sat, Mounts. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjack Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 You know what I'm saying NB. It's hardly controversial to say thanks to the diehards who devote their lives travelling up and down the country for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjack Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Which is what most of the top sides are charging now, Mounts. I'm sure I read somewhere that Newcastle were charged £52 recently - may have been at Liverpool, not sure. It's noticeable that increasing numbers of teams are taking up the smaller allocations these days. Not surprising at those fucking ludicrous prices.

It's hardly controversial to say thanks to the diehards who devote their lives travelling up and down the country for the club. Good for them but, many of us can't get to evening away games on the other side of the country willy nilly due to work commitments. We've been through this before but loyalty wings for games like those you mentioned is going down the "I'm a superfan route". Let's not ostracise by positively discriminating.

davidjack Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 It's not about being a superfan, just a nice gesture from the club to folk like Ruth (we're only talking about a few people in this category). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondi Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Free travel to Bournemouth on a coach? No thanks! Even if the club payed for my ticket and ale at the ground, especially on a Monday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to Bournemouth on a coach when I was 9, for a holiday. Took 8 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeghead83 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Bollocks! I've been waiting all season for the Bournemouth weekender. That's pissed right on my chips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickbrown Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The whole game is ran by utter bellends. We can stick men on the moon but can't fashion a fixture list where midweek and evening kickoffs are against local-ish teams and the big schlelps all over the country are reserved for Saturday afternoons. I mean, Ipswich on a Tuesday night - what knob thought that was a good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Ipswich on a Tuesday night - what knob thought that was a good idea? But last season we had Blackpool midweek and barely sold 1500 compared to selling out when we play on a weekend. I think the more local games on a Saturday favour more of our support. Ipswich/Norwich etc midweek or weekend it might make the difference of 200 going or 350 going.

davidjack Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Depends how we're doing. Last time I went to Norwich we must have had over 2k there - in the 97 promotion season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big E Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Nobody cares. Every week you go on about attendances and every week nobody cares. Get over it Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big E Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 bollocks, fucking sky again. Why not a later kick off on the saturday? Days off and hotel already sorted for this too. Twats. You have sky though don't you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted March 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2015 It's not about being a superfan, just a nice gesture from the club to folk like Ruth (we're only talking about a few people in this category). genuine question when did ruth last pay to get in a game?

davidjack Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I didn't bring up attendances, someone else did, so that's not strictly true is it, Big E? I came in on this (like most others) to slag off the treatment (yet again) of the fans who actually go to matches, rather than those who simply watch on Sky.

Moderators Casino Posted March 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2015 shes been getting comps as long as ive been going away she gets/got free rail travel it makes it easier to be an uberfan on those terms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjack Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 As someone else said, you couldn't pay most to do some of the trips she's done week in week out for the past 60 years, let alone offer free travel. I did every game in the 94-95 season...no danger of ever doing anywhere near that again though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 shes been getting comps as long as ive been going away she gets/got free rail travel it makes it easier to be an uberfan on those terms I don't begrudge it and I don't think any one should, even if as some people say she's a cranky old bint, she's dedicated her life to supporting BWFC she's alright by me.
