Well done Stoke.
What did we do last season?
Gave fans a free programme or pie at a couple of games, subsidised a number of games by £10 and generally that was about it. Let's remember that wasn't out of the goodness of the clubs heart either, it was money given to the club specifically to enhance away day numbers.

Wrong ! Clubs paid for it themselves. I can recal money off for man u, man city, newcastle and arsenal for starters
I dont remember the likes of man u doing anything for theirs.
You really are a piece of work. Chuck out a pile of cr@p with no substance and hope it becomes fact. |  | | |

All Premier League clubs were given an amount of money to subsidise their fans away travel. That is one of them big fat fact things. |  |

Yes. Club was given money. We also contacted every club to offer a reciprocal deal where both clubs fans would receive discounts on away trips no one agreed initially but a few clubs did do this not a lot though | | | |

Dineen has said numerous times on twitter that the clubs were asked to spend upto 250k on away travel. They werent given the money. It was said again yesterday on his feed. The bbc are allowed to get it wrong
If the clubs were given the money then you would think the prem league would have made sure it was spent. Some clubs didnt participate last season so i would go with dineen on this one. | | | |

I hope we never make a deal where it is free bus travel for away fans
Given the fact that only around 20/25% of our travelling support goes on buses then we wouldn't be benefitting the majority.
Giving £10 off a ticket is actually more costly than giving free away travel on that basis. |  | | |

Phil. Did the prem league give the club money or are the club funding the away incentives.? The trust director would know. | | | |

Every Premier League club was given a sum of money to try and fund away fan initiatives
We always worked on the basis we wanted everyone to benefit who went to the games | | | |

The BBC are allowed to get it wrong but read the stuff at the bottom of their article
Given this was written back in October you would assume that the clubs would have blown their trumpet more if it was being spent off their own back.
IMO it isn't enough anyway as the PL could enforce a strict maximum priced ticket if they really wanted to
I hve no idea what Leigh is tweeting but there was money given - there is a chance we spent more than that I don't know the answer to that bit!

Comparing what the Swans have done with the other teams, it does not look too bad. Shame some posters just want to slag the club off at every opportunity | |

My bad, given the comments made elsewhere (the difference between Twitter and BBC reports for example) I thought I better check what actually happened rather than my understanding.
The clubs were not given money by the PL, the PL asked the teams if they would spend up to £250k on away fan initiatives. Most did, some I believe didn't (not 100% sure on this last point) but there was definitely no money given by the Premier League. | | | |

So why were the Premier League allowed to enjoy the good publicity, Seen in Neath_jacks numerous links on here?
So the clubs paid and the Premier league take the glory.
It's all sounds a bit odd to me. |  |

The word you just used "nonce" is one of them.  | |

I think the Premier League has told clubs that they have to put the money to one side out of the huge sum they receive each year.
"The Premier League’s announcement that clubs have set aside a pot of £12m over the next three seasons to make games more affordable for away fans is a welcome one. The Away Fans’ Initiative equates to £200,000 per club, per season."
Key words being "that the clubs have set aside"

Well it's certainly misleading and confusing. You've only got to see Leigh Dineen and Phil Sumbler's quotes/comments on this thread to realise that. | |

Agreed, definitely doesn't read as though the club have done it out of their own pockets, also as Phil stated we may well have spent more on these schemes last season. | | | |

I'm not sure and it does sound odd but i was always aware that the club said it paid for these incentives. | | | |
