[Archived] Slash The Cost Of Following Blackburn!

[away day travel]

Hi Blackburn fans,

I am posting to announce the launch of GetToTheMatch.com, our completely FREE to use website service to help supporters save money on following your team. It is a site built by real fans, for real fans, so I hope you like it and find it useful. Please feel free to spread the word as the more people who use it, the more options supporter will have. Here is our press release..

SLASH THE COST OF FOLLOWING YOUR TEAM!

GetToTheMatch.com is a completely FREE new service for Football, Rugby Union & Rugby League supporters to arrange matchday travel share with fellow fans to all of their favourite teams’ home and away matches.

Whether it’s spare seats on a coach, a couple of empty spaces in a car, or you want to split the cost of a taxi to the match with someone from your area, you just select your team, choose which fixture you would like to attend and place a listing for other members to respond to.

There are no sign-up fees, no introduction costs and no commission payments – you simply offer or request seats that are empty, make your arrangements, get to the match and save money, reduce traffic congestion and help the environment. Local business sponsorship enables this service to be completely free for all supporters.

Member profiles tell you what other supporters prefer on their match day and feedback tells you about past travel share experiences with each user. There are ground guides providing information for visiting supporters, where members can leave feedback on places to eat, drink, park, visit and stay near each stadium.

Sign up for FREE now at GetToTheMatch.com.

Cracking idea. Hope it takes off.

Sounds brilliant to be fair. Best of luck!

Good that its built a bit more around sports fans but I was sure I saw an app like this the other week.

Checked it out and indeed there is something similar (although doesn't appear to be sports focussed the concept is still the same it would seem).

Its called Liftshare.

and for that reason, I'm out.

Best of luck though.

You're link to the Fans forum on the Blackburn Rovers page links to the BRFCS site, which is now News Site.

You would be better linking to this site.

Lift share charge you. We don't.

Also theirs is just a link from their general car share programme, whereas I like to think we offer a more specifically football & rugby fans based service.

sounds like a great idea, I was thinking about something like this recently that could maybe be used used universally just for getting around in general(lik a safer modern day hitch-hiking app)

Just had a look at that site, what a fantastic idea (see what I did there) and I hope it's successful.
