(13 Jun 2014, 3:51 pm)Marcus wrote I know nothing about football - just that they have park and ride buses. I can barely even name a football player (Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, Nugent are the only ones that spring to mind)
In that case - I think increasing the price by double would more likely drive fans away from using the bus services to the match than actually tempt them.
Still good value to be fair, there is sixteen home games a season, and this allows return travel on any service within Tyne and Wear. So that's about 80p for a return journey, saving about £2-£3 a day?
