Fulham forced to rule out planes as offer fans heavily subsidised travel for Newcastle United quarter-final | OneFootball

Fulham fans will see their team take on Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Wednesday 17 December, playing for a place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

The away fans were entitled to a maximum allocation of 4,899 tickets for this cup match but earlier today it was revealed that their club have instead taken an allocation of only 1,700.

Now the Craven Cottage club have announced how they are doing everything to ensure they manage to get as many of those 1,700 St James’ Park places filled as possible.

Starting on Monday, Fulham season ticket holders will be able to buy four tickets each for this Newcastle United match.

Whilst their club are also offering heavily subsidised travel for all Fulham fans willing to make the trip.

Their club say they were forced to rule out putting planes on for the trip to Tyneside, however, they are putting coaches on and charging only £20 and £10 for kids.

Which means, that for travel AND match ticket, it would only be £40 for Fulham fans, £20 for juniors.

As Newcastle United fans know only too well, midweek away matches can so often be a challenge when it comes to travel, especially getting back to Tyneside from distant away destinations.

However, many Newcastle United supporters will look with envy at Fulham fans who are able to buy four tickets each for an away match, plus given so much help by their club in order to get there and back.

Subsidised Supporter Travel

With a place in the semi-finals the prize for the winner of this cup-tie, the Club hopes many supporters can show their support from the away end at St. James’ Park.

We understand that travel options for this match are challenging, with no trains available for the return journey to London after the final whistle.

The Club has been working to identify options to help our fans attend, including chartered flights. Whilst air travel was not feasible due to not being able to arrange travel to and from Newcastle on the same day, the Club is delighted to announce that it will be subsidising all coach travel, providing supporters a return ticket to Newcastle for just £20 adults and £10 juniors.
