Some Soccer Premier League Clubs tried to do this about 10 years ago, for example Aston Villa were offering a Home Season ticket with the option of paying extra and going to Villa Park to watch every away game, there was great interest from fans but the Premier League wouldn't allow it.
Do Saints show every away game? If so has does that affect your travelling support? Some SL clubs bank on the tickets sales from the away support of clubs like Wire, Wigan, Leeds, Hull & Saints to boost their attendances. |

Sheffield Wednesday started doing beam backs a couple of years ago for the steel city derby, this was only possible when all away tickets were sold at bumhole lane, cos the demand was obviously through the roof, i think though that a large proportion of those funds went to charity. The pigs started doing this as well a year or so afterwards. |

In all fairness, no clubs should be banking on away support and should see those ticket sales as a bonus. |

Why not? If you get promoted into or are a small club playing in the top division and are mixing it with the 'big boys' then that is part of the reward surely.
Maybe the semantic difference between bank and bonus but in reality is there any difference (in any walk of life) |

First sentence fails on one word, promoted 
I know what you mean, CC ties for lower league clubs this definitely applies and I agree there, but in SL, your business plan should be able to depend upon home support. With London and Catalans bringing next to no fans for the obvious reason, 400 mile and 2000 mile round journeys to deal with, and the Yorkshire sides with the exception of probably only Leeds (1000+) bringing anything between 100-750. There's not THAT much revenue in the grand scheme of things generated by away ticket sales. I'll say roughly £150K after the 10% deduction when for example turnover should be approx £4M - About 4%. As I said, a welcome bonus, but should definitely not be depended upon. |

I didn't really disagree so no fail I was using promotion to broaden the debate and on reading your latest response so do you.
It is all in the use of the words bank and bonus and you illustrated the math perfectly. Do you think Warrington will sell more pints in the West Stand playing Catalan or Wigan? (I was going to use pies but that would have been too obvious and not based on actual numbers attending the game) Therefore Warrington can bank on certain levels of travelling support from big teams and or local rivals.
Put simply, we can rely (bank) on Wigan bringing more than Cat's and you corrected yourself in your last post when you stated correctly that it is wrong to depend upon it.

First bit regarding promotion was firmly tongue in cheek my friend!
Although I see what you're saying, FYI, Warrington make nothing from beer and food sales. They rent the kiosks to Heathcotes/Lindley Catering so have a fixed income regardless. |

Phew I'm glad we cleared that one up. Although if they sold less pints etc or vice versa, when the lease comes up for renewal......only joking.
Good luck what a time to bea WIre? |
