It's not really away games which bother me - with the odd exception I get tickets easy enough. It's the cost of travel to home games on top of the ticket. So a ticket for say 10 games for 150 quid would be great. And then second priority after season ticket holders for big away games.

Just to add; from me this would mean the club would gain money. I get to around 6 home games a season (more this season as I went to every one when there was a risk of relegation) so spend £108. Buying the book of 10 would mean I used it and went to more. My train ticket is 35 quid so it makes a huge difference.

Yes MarinerWY, it’s the travelling to home matches that costs us so we need some reduction on the season ticket as a whole as far as I’m concerned.

Quoted from KingstonMariner
I'd have thought that an exiles ST package would be about having a book of tickets for 10-15 games say at a discount from the normal match day ticket (but maybe not as much as a full ST discount). Commercially it'd need to be a fine balancing act because the club should try to avoid cannibalising existing ST sales to exiles. Maybe do it as a trial for the first season.

The shift worker package could be along the same lines.

Presumably the club could look at the address database to work out how many STs already go to exiles, then look next year to see how many it's lost.


That i believe is the biggest problem.

If a shift worker buys a book of say 10 tickets then it is difficult for the club to stop me doing the same. a sort of dipping my toe in the water to see how the season pans out rather than going for a full season ticket on day one.

Not wanting to neg you all out, but does anyone actually think an “exiles season ticket” initiative will ever happen?

The shift worker idea has been sat on John Fenty & Steve Wraith’s desks for two years now and we’ve seen less than intercourse all in getting it implemented.

No amount of bullshit & bluster from the usual suspects will convince me they’ve got the ability or even the inclination to help fans until we see some action.

If they haven't learned any lessons by now, then they never will. The link between the fans and the club has never been so bad, but i fear that the arrival of MJ may well have taken the heat off, and they may go back to resting on their laurels again. The next 3 months is going to be telling.

I’m sorry to knock this exiles thing a few posters are banging on about but wtf should the club subsidise exiles ? It’s a personal decision to move away from the gy area . The club doesn’t subsidise STH away travel or tickets and they put money in on a far bigger scale than exiles .

This. Would be far better off putting the time and effort into getting some more of the local population through the gate rather than the same 5000 or so we get now.

Could do both really
Away support is important too

I get that. A second priority behind STHs for games within 30 miles of your house (as long as you pre-register interest before the season starts) or whatever would be a good idea. I don’t see why those who live away should be able to get discounted multi-buys of tickets because they might miss the odd game though - especially when they admit they willingly pay full price regardless.
