Interesting. I'd be up for watching away games at the Proact whilst having a pie and a pint.

Whilst offering those that can't travel the opportunity to watch the game, it has the potential to dramatically reduce the away following, flip side is that it gives the club a revenue stream they wouldn't normally have.

The balance needs to be struck between making a couple of thousand quid on a wet tuesday or having an extra couple of hundred on the terraces cheering the lads on.

If it takes off I'm not sure I'd like to see this being offered on a weekend, resulting in the clubs, pubs and grub joints missing out on the away fans money.

I can this is becomimg the norm for mideeek games over a set distance as it's potentially additional revenue, which if set up right is win/win for everybody

Add sell-outs to that too.
