Is this just for away fans visiting us? Or have we managed to agree the same conditions for all others clubs we visit?

STAR Voice Indeed. This is an idea that arose from the Royalty Points Review that STAR carried out amongst its members and on a thread on this forum some time ago. It's something STAR has pushed for quite a while since and we're very pleased to see the Club agreeing and rewarding our away supporters in equal measure.

and campaigned heavily by one of HNA?s big hitters *cough*

No - RFC are setting a good example which hopefully other clubs will follow. STAR has pressed the club to pursue reciprocal pricing arrangements - ie you charge us £10 we'll charge you £10 - and I believe there may have been one or two instances of that happening.

I'm really pleased that RFC have done this.

Mainly as we're ahead of the game for once and setting an example. It's been good seeing other club's fans commenting on how good it is.

Fingers crossed other clubs will follow in our steps. Hearing that Sheffield Wednesday are charging Villa something like £40 for their tickets sums up the problem.

Have personally decided to boycott any league away game this season which is £30+ which will probably be Sheffield Wednesday, Norwich, Ipswich and Brighton.

Good idea, more fans should do this.

I don't know how the club's justify it for a standard league away game.

Have any other clubs (Champo or otherwise) brought this in or is it just us? Referring to 20's plenty rather than reciprocal pricing.

Not that I've heard. But I'm not up-to-the-minute on this.

£20 for away fans

by Lower West » 20 Aug 2016 22:59

Hopefully today's good away support from BHA augers well for the rest of the season. Nothing better to improve the atmosphere in the stadium. Banter is part and parcel of the game. Nothing worse than sitting in a library. Must help the players too. .

I think we need this scheme to be successful as it could eventually convince others, particularly the Sheffield Wednesdays charging in excess of £40.

Will Twenty's Plenty remain when demand for tickets outstrips supply though, that will be key. I'm thinking cup draw against a big side or even alot further down the road if we manage to make a return to the premier league.

Think the club has only stated Twenty's plenty for league games and I think there is a similar scheme in the Premiership with some clubs capping it at £30.

Kudos to Reading for this and by my calculations it's about half price compared to the rip off merchants of Sheffield Wedsnesday to sit in a depcrepid shit stadium for away fans.

I hope other clubs are reciprocating the agreement though but guess they aren't

As far as I'm aware, only Cardiff have reciprocated the offer so far.

That really is bad but not surprising.
