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
Can't see why anyone would want to miss this one, two evenly matched teams with massive forwards, who are both in form. If you know anyone who hasn't got a ticket yet convince them to come along!

All I will say to that is some people have a lot less money than others. Well done to you for affording that much to support your team but a good lot of fans don't have that kind of disposable income but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be allowed to support our team.
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.

Yes, but don't go overboard with the praise. The boy who cried wolf only attends a couple of games a season.

You sir are nuts, are you really getting the train to Hull, just to watch the game on Sky? It would probably cheaper to get Sky installed for the year!!

Travel up Friday night? Stop over, have a "reet neet orn da pish" poor attempt at Jockanese, I know. Watch the game at KC, simples.
