    Would be a nice gesture to the fans for the continued fantastic away support

    and free tickets to get in as well.
    Plus some nice cheese sandwiches on the coach and a curry on the way back.

    They did, and I can remember one idiot banging on about "part timers" and "free bus lot" in the ground

    Club can't win.

    Me and our kid are interested in going. If we can get tickets.

    Throwing in freebies will obviously galvanise quite a few who might not go

    And then we are left without. Being that we have so far only made it to Bradford.

    I'd understand your point if it was a Tuesday night. But not on a Saturday

    Saying that. If we get tickets id stop at my uncle's either Friday or Saturday night and split the drive over the 2 days as he only lives half hour away

    There'll be plenty of tickets. Think we'll take 7 or 800 tops for it.

    Would be a nice gesture for any game but I don't feel it's the sort of thing we should ask for rather just be greatful on occasions when the club choose to offer something like that.

    Maybe. As it's a game we can both make it to (and I did promise him we would do more away games this season).

    I'm probably just panicking a little tbh

    I’m not sure we should be expecting the club to do this.

    I know they get half the gate in the cup (after the fa’s share), but it’d likely mean a big loss on the game. Leading in to January I think we’ve more important things to spend the club’s money on, even if the travel wouldn’t cost masses, it would be a lot.

    I’d sooner them keep it back and maybe offer free travel to Plymouth and Bristol at the arse end of the season if we’re still needing results and a strong backing.
