FREE transport to away games

Maybe to put the icing on the cake Free transport to HOME games as well

Just got back to the Spurs side of London

That is what an Awayday should be like

Well I think it shows what we could get week in, week out, if football was a bit more affordable. Even with the free transport it is still a commitment to spend 9 hours on a coach and most fans would have still spent £30-50.

Hopefully in the future, the supporters club will be able to arrange at least one 52-seater to go to each away game. Pay an annual fee and encourage fans to book and pay early for a discount. If we can keep prices around £10-15 for most games I am sure we will fill out a coach for every game.

Another idea would be to get home clubs to chip in a few quid. If we end up taking double the fans then they will make twice as much on the gate and in the stand.

Exactly the case I made. Average away attendance at Barnet over four seasons say 100. Any increase on that due to free travel the clubs share 50/50. By my maths Barnet made about £4,000 extra revenue through the free travel. Split 50/50 how many coaches does £2,000 buy?

For a trip to places like Barnet, you could get one coach with £800-900 in change.
Closer trips, to, say the Manchester area, you could get two.
