Leeds Away Travel

[Fanakapan]

Any one know of any coaches around the Leyland or Chorley pick up area.

Just saw on twitter it's 40 pounds for a ticket. That's outrageous! 

[Waggy76]

I for one will not be paying that extortionate amount ....

Visited Elland road many times but not been there for 6 years and it was 34 quid on the day then to be treated like penned in cattle so i'll never go again unless they get sensible or do some sort of cheap ticket deal.

25 poundsish would've seen two thousand or so go over there but be lucky with 500 at that price it's more about the principle than the actual money for a lot, being blatantly ripped off doesn't sit well.  Football is on its arse with clubs getting away with stuff like this how is it supposed to attract and keep new or lapsed adult fans ?

Their home sections will be more or less full but a few years ago they'd have been a third empty, I guess it's ok when you've a catchment area of about a million people to call on though. Rest of us average sized clubs are stuffed !

Watching Rovers on Boxing Day has always been a family tradition wherever we've played previously but that's just crackers. Factor in travel, food and drink for a family of 4 and how can you justify that cost day after Christmas Day?

Is Waggott watching their reciprocal pricing structure to ours for them. He should be offering a £15 bung to every Rover buying a ticket......I think the man is incapable, and dancing to a Loon tune.

[tomphil]

Free coach travel for regulars would be a nice gesture it's not far away........

[Proudtobeblue&white]

They (he) is brain dead, they bring 7,000, we take 1,000, if we are generous, madness, save for Steve informing Madam Clueless it was a bumper crowd at our gaff.

‘As a Christmas gesture to our loyal away support, the owners are subsiding the ticket costs for the Leeds game, Rovers fans will pay just £2x ‘

I’ve seen other clubs owners do it, Wolves did it for Leeds away last season, not something that will ever happen here alas.

Thankfully.....

I want sod all from them, if I never hear from them again it will be too soon, £39 quid or not.

They ruined something I was immensely proud of, but we are where we are and who’s going to put in the millions of capital every year then? I’m more than happy for them to be silent parters, they can stay a milllion miles from Ewood, but they are currently the only show in town.

Not true. There are people who will buy us like a shot.

[Mattyblue]

Hope you’re right! However, they won’t go anytime soon.
