I paid for a membership and it costs me £18/game which equates to a £3/game saving over the normal East stand price though usually buy reserved East stand seat for an extra quid.
Quite honestly an extra few quid 'on top of travel' is neither here nor there surely? It costs me about £40 in fuel/tolls if I drive slowly, roughly the same on train if I leave late on a Sunday/Monday night. There's a few forum members here that come from much further afield than I do.
Whilst I understand the sentiment and it's a nice gesture I don't particularly agree with making the tickets so cheap, not when you already have junior members getting in FOC.
The amount of times I hear RL fans in general complaining how expensive tickets are for internationals/GF etc and will wait for a deal because they know that deals/cheap tickets will come up shoots the RFl in the foot by doing so.
Similarly hearing away fans complaining all the time how 'expensive' it is here, because an extra £2 or £3 compared to whatever the cheapest ticket is at some shithola ground with no cover, no seat is the deal breaker in making the effort.
Reducing ticket prices for RL has being demonstrated not to work in the medium to long term
