red5 Posted 23 July 2014 Share Posted 23 July 2014 Anyone know if the "subsidised" bit is part of the £200.000 they have to give to away fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybes Posted 23 July 2014 Share Posted 23 July 2014 Fair play. Still will be using the train for all awayers mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promised land Posted 23 July 2014 Share Posted 23 July 2014 First 10 coaches seems a lot when they normally take 5 or 6 a game. If you're going on fox travel it should guarantee you get a tenner trip then. Are they like the old mega bus and are clapped out 1950's double deckers they're using?

Bayfox Posted 23 July 2014 Share Posted 23 July 2014 There goes the 200k then. Fair play would love to see us fill those 10 coaches. But train or car for me for most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZ_Foxile Posted 23 July 2014 Share Posted 23 July 2014 I'd rather the £200k (if this is being funded by the £200k) went towards subsidising the outrageous away ticket prices. Not everyone travels to away games from Leicester (I'm based in Oxfordshire), and some like to make a weekend of it, so coach travel is not an option for them. This will only benefit a few travelling fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Lass Posted 23 July 2014 Share Posted 23 July 2014 Just so people know, £200k is the minimum spend. Nothing stops them from spending more. There are negotiations ongoing with other clubs to arrange mutual ticket prices and there are other plans for free pie & pint, scarf etc. It won't just be subsidised travel.

Would be fantastic if they thrashed out mutual ticket price details. A massive step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LcfcBaker Posted 24 July 2014 Share Posted 24 July 2014 Horrible way of doing aways. Done it once when a desperate teenager who couldn't drive. I vowed never again. I've stuck to this ever since. Train all day long to aways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promised land Posted 25 July 2014 Share Posted 25 July 2014 Horrible way of doing aways. Done it once when a desperate teenager who couldn't drive. I vowed never again. I've stuck to this ever since. Train all day long to aways. Train is fine if you're a student with a railcard, start paying full adult fares and the smoke is around £57 for an anytime return off peak. Yes you can get cheap one ways but then as someone else says 'you're not travelling at your own leisure' because you can only use that train at that time. Why pay near on £60 when the same journey can be done for a tenner? Ok train is faster and more room on board, but coach takes you right to the turnstiles 90% of the time. I've done both and driven and don't mind any really but I'll always go by the cheapest method unless situations change. Also get stuck on a line where some muppet has decided to stand infront of a train in full flow, then tell me the train is the best route. Yes the same could be said for a RTA and you're stuck in miles of stationary cars but those jams aren't as bad as a line stopped for hours and not moving at all. It comes down to personal preference and opinions will always vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhavik Posted 6 January 2015 Share Posted 6 January 2015 For home game travel: I found this amazing website where you can book your parking at the Welford Road - NCP for just £6 for games until the end of Jan. I just booked my parking for the Villa and Stoke games! Let's hope we can build on our 2nd half performance vs Liverpool and win the next two games! Here is the link to book your parking: http://bit.ly/1AqfYVG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
