This would be really helpful...

Obviously it wouldn't solve all the other issues with away games getting moved such as accommodation but it would be a start. If implemented it would also open up the opportunity to buy some very cheap advance fares without having to gamble.

Looks like it might actually happen, just hope it's soon...

This is a great idea, especially for London based Cherries fans who can easily get to most parts of the country via train.

I’m not sure it’ll make too much difference for local fans though. Cross Country don’t (or very rarely) do Advanced Fares so the pay on the day fare is the same £100+ for any journey up north. On SWR you can get a super off peak return to London for £35 with a railcard on the day. I actually think that’s pretty good value and it’s unlikely you’ll get an Advanced for much less

Yes, my son lives in London so he will certainly gain. I try to avoid Cross Country if possible so northern games via London will still be cheaper and more feasible.
