Swansea fans will pay a reduced price of £20 for adults and £5 for concessions at Hull and Newcastle, with the same prices in place for the return fixtures at the Liberty Stadium.
Travelling supporters from Newcastle and West Brom will both pay £15 for adults and £5 for concessions when their teams face each other.

That's step one complete, now we just need the rest of the league to wise up, that includes us

Unfortunately this will only ever be applied to games of a certain nature and will never include the likes of Man U, Chelsea etc because the demand for tickets will always be there, so I wouldn't build your hopes up  065.gif

Newcastle is an interesting one... They normally sell out wherever they go.

It makes sense to drop prices. We always see huge empty sections at many places these days. Surely it is better to try to fill those seats. I would never spend time and money travelling to pay 40 quid for a ticket when I get there. But that is just me, I admire the Fulham faithful who do it regularly.

One day fans might be payed as Tv Extras, so armchair football fans can soak up the atmosphere.

Cant really see us getting too involved in this.

from a commercial point of view we sell out our away end most games, due to so many opposition fans living in London and tic prices arent like chelsea, arsenal etc.

this requires a bit of give and take and while im sure the club would love to see more of us at away games I cant see them losing money on an already limited gate revenue.
