I will be spending about £35-£40 for this game so if that had been £50 instead then I wouldn't have been able to go, barely can as it is.
I get that for some fans it's hard, that's why I'm never critical of anybody who goes to even just obe game or even none..unlike the bag of fecal matter that is Wizeb.
My point was that an extra few quid for the ticket- not £10-£15 as you suggested that would change your mind, if you are travelling and spending XX is a small % increase in the outlay. If match tickets are for instance £18 and they were still £18 for this cup match would that have stopped you going if you attended natches ad-hoc anyway?
As I said I'm not against the gesture, it's to be appluaded, it's just not proven to increase attendances other than on the match day itself, that's all I was saying. Certainly not a pissing contest as to how much any one fan spends to get to games just using it to make a point about the differential in reduced match tickets against not.
There was a discussion on the VT about a group ticket thing for WCC, CC early round games, internationals and any other non season ticket matches sold as a package. An away season ticket that benefits those amazing fans that travel to all if not the vast majority odf away games should be considered in conjunction with the RFL.
