The mail below makes interesting reading. I don't know if there's any chance of Leeds doing something similar. I would hope not but then it only needs one club to take the lead and others follow ...
guy ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: Michael Brunskill <[email protected]> Date sent: Mon, 25 Sep 2017 08:56:06 -0700 Subject: Your club could scrap concessions for supporters - do something about it To: Michael Brunskill <[email protected]> Copies to: [email protected] Hi, I'm emailing as your club are due to face Hull City in the coming months. For those of you who haven't followed developments at Hull City the club scrapped concessions for the disabled, young and old over the past few years. Hull City Supporters' Trust (HCST) has been campaigning for them to be restored and are seeking to engage fan groups across the country in the campaign (which the FSF backs). The EFL has confirmed to HCST that its own rules don't oblige clubs to provide any concession tickets. It means your club could scrap concessions and nothing could be done. We want that rule to change. * For more info email Graham from Hull City Supporters' Trust: [email protected] The Premier League (PL) ruled that Hull City were guilty of breaking their rules through this policy last season, and the club was forced to agree to offer concession tickets in the event that HCAFC return to the PL. However, the EFL has no such rule and expect clubs to draw up ticketing policy in consultation with supporters. But Hull City's owners have no time for the club's supporters and actively seek to punish them wherever possible for successfully thwarting their attempts to change the club's name a few years ago. The club's owners simply will not entertain the idea of reintroducing concessionary tickets unless they are forced to do so by the EFL. Both the FSF and HCST would like to see a clearly defined rule obliging clubs to offer concessionary tickets and we would like to hear from supporter groups across the country who agree - this has happened at Hull City but at present there is nothing to stop it happening at your club.
