This is a great offer by the club for the fans but after this away game are all the ones who are coming just because its a £1 still gunna come when it goes back to normal price thats the problem it's ok everybody turning up just cos its cheap but that doesn't mean you stop coming after that we go on coach every away game but after this one it'll be back to the same ones that go to away games all the time

Get a grip FFS.
Do you know how much fuel costs at the moment?
Everybody is allowed to choose if they go or not.......

To be honest I would probably have given the Wire game a miss mainly due to me liking a good lie in bed on Saturday morning and the game is an early kick off plus it's on the telly. Add to this I usually travel by car to away games just so I can get out early if we're poop.

The offer has made me change my mind just to back the club really. The club will get £1 from two of us and Wire will get £50 (?) total. Seems like it should be away clubs that offer this type of incentive.

Perhaps if we didn't have to trail over the M62 on a Thursday or Friday night then more fans would go.......

But every other clubs fans still seem to be able to travel in good numbers on a Thursday or Friday night away game so why can't ours like the hull fc fans for instance that 1st game of the season even if that had have been a Thursday or Friday night game they would still have brought the amount they did on the Sunday

Yes totally get that fuel is getting out of hand at the moment price wise but I'm not just talking about now as in terms of our fans not turning up in big numbers to away games it's always been the same over the past 10 years or more take 2017/18 season when we were playing some of the best rugby in a long time every away game was the same amount of people turning up everytime not even that could attract more to coming to support the lads.

I think its a brilliant idea - well done the Club.
Do they do a pick up in Birmingham?

Think you are overlooking that fact that we only have (compared to some) a much smaller fan base.....

The reason why we are low on away fans compare to Hull, Leeds ,St, Wigan ,Wires ,fans they know they have got a good chance of winning.who ever they play.We have been happy with 3 defeats away at 3 top clubs .Till we get a team that can win more than it loses we will not get good support when fans are having to travel 2 hours plus knowing we will probably lose .We seem to have got a different mind set in the team this season so we could be moving in the right direction .

Whilst we don't go to too many away matches these days, we did go to HKR for our first match of the season a couple of years ago, the reason being that there are no big towns to negotiate between Wakey and Hull when heading East on the M62, whereas travelling to Wire, St's, Wigan, Salford all involve a nightmare journey over the Pennines and past Manchester at the busiest time of the day. I suspect at least half of those FC fans that came to Belle Vue 3 weeks ago would feel the same ??
