The coach travel is not being subsidisedMatch tickets should certainly be free because letting locals in for nothing while charging City and Spurs fans is as big a piss take as it gets, but that’s not City’s fault. As for the travel, for all we know City may be subsidising some of that cost anyway. Someone pointed out that the trains will only be allowed to run at half capacity and that may be the same for the coaches too so Avanti and the coach firm (whoever that is) could well be charging the club more than what the fans are being charged.
I say this as someone who usually organises 3 coaches to Wembley and we charge Adults £35 and kids £25.
We also provide a pub stop for a few hours in Uxbridge.
So please remember us for future games ;)
Perhaps the £50 price is the coach company covering the cost due to reduced capacity, so basically passing it on to those attending
