Quote: gateaux "I agree with what you are saying but in order to push attendances up clubs should be doing more at a local level, its bringing in the local fans all season long that really boosts a clubs attendances and finances, the away fans should just be a boost to that number.
But I agree with you on the fans that travel a distance, I am up nice and early this morning to go down to Wales but knowing we only have to travel there once this season, whereas their away fans have to do it every other week - I know I couldn't afford to go to as many away games if such distances where involved!'"
Yes away fans should be a bonus but as JB and myself on occaision has pointed out , they add atmosphere to the games which in itself attracts home fans
His suggestion of free or cheap coach travel is what the NL/Championship clubs should be looking at to help make that competition more attractive to all fans , as the biggest problem at those matches is a lack of atmosphere
