Watford 75 mile season ticket
« on: February 15, 2011, 04:57:01 PM »
One of our group travelling up on Saturday, said some years ago he had a teacher in Bournemouth who got a concession on his Watford season ticket by living over 75 mile miles from the ground. I looked on the Watford web site and they still do a similar scheme for long distance supporters.  I wonder if other clubs do something similar and maybe Villa might like to consider such a a scheme. I personally think its a great idea!!

Manu would make a loss if they introduced it.

It's only small clubs that can really do something like this.

Given the well established and undisputable fact that there are absolutely no Villa fans whatsoever in Birmingham, I think it could be a winner  :)

Knowing my luck they'd introduce it and I'd be 0.4miles under the threshold.

I know Warwickshire CCC have the same incentive for fans who live further away from Edgbaston, I think it is a great idea as I live in Canada and the Villa could pay me to come over and watch them!

No noses would get a discount as they ALL live in Birmingham. We all would as NO Villa fans live in Birmingham.

Walsall announced today under 18 season tickets for next season will cost GBP48 - then for every game you attend they'll give you GBP2 back, in effect making the whole season ticket free if you go to every home game.
Innovative.
