Football Is Nothing Without Fans – They Deserve A Seat At The Table In The Fight For Fair Train Fares

Football supporters frequently miss out on the cheapest train tickets to watch their teams play, owing to last-minute fixture changes. 

For the last two years, I have been speaking to fans, the Rail Delivery Group, the Premier League and the English Football League with the aim to establish a new Fans’ Fare Scheme seeking greater flexibility for football supporters. Often, matches are rescheduled, owing to TV or fixture clashes. This means pre-purchased tickets cannot be changed or in some cases, fans cannot travel at all.
