Away Travel 2024/25

Detailed information for supporters

August 2nd 2024
FGR Media

There are many changes for the 2024/25 season, but one important broad change is on away tickets for FGR Supporters.

The vast majority (possibly all) clubs in the National League sell tickets directly to away supporters via online ticketing platforms. As such, we do not expect to have any tickets for re-sale at FGR and FGR supporters will need to purchase tickets and away coach travel separately.

Away Travel for the 2024/25 Season

Official Coach Travel is the best way to travel door-to-door to each FGR away game - avoiding the hassle of driving, travelling in comfort and allowing supporters to soak up the atmosphere at each away ground.

All coach travel can be booked online via the FGR website (Tickets), in person at Reception (Opening Hours) or at the Ticket Office after a home game. Please note that supporters wishing to travel on the coach must purchase this by the following deadlines:

12pm on a Friday; for a Saturday game (Club to advise if any different).

3pm on a Monday; for a Tuesday night game (Club to advise if any different).

Supporters must book in advance by the above deadlines, as we are unable to take payments and it is not possible to board the coach without prior booking.

The 24/25 season kicks off at Aldershot on Saturday, August 10, and coach tickets can now be booked online here (Next Match Tickets).

Prices will be:

Pricing for 24/25AdultU16U11

General Coach Arrangements

Coach prices and pick-up times will be advertised on the FGR website and Supporters Club website in advance and alongside information on how to buy away tickets.

All Under 16’s and U11’s must book in and travel with a responsible adult; this will be checked at the time of booking and on the day.

Coaches will have a SC representative on board for every game, with a goal-time raffle, comfort stops typically for games over two hours away and a great way to meet fellow supporters. Please note: no alcohol, smoking or vaping is allowed on the coach.

Paragraph Break

Changes for 24/25

Supporter coaches have been organised as a successful partnership between the FGR and Supporters Club for several years, with the aim to enable as many supporters to travel as possible via a sustainable, straight-forward and good value option.

Following on from the review of 23/24, the Away coach made an operating loss of over £9,000; due to a mixture of increased cost of the coach, lower numbers travelling and a lower revenue per seat than expected.

After detailed discussions, it has been agreed to make several changes to reduce this unsustainable loss. These include a small increase in prices, altering the categories, and increasing the Supporters Club Travel Club package. Supporters Club Members will also be entitled to a £3 discount off all ticket categories; so a family of 4 could save £12!

One of the biggest challenges is operating the coach is long distance games which struggle to attract supporters and caused a significant proportion of losses for last season. So we have agreed that for the five furthest trips the coach (listed below) will only operate if we have sufficient numbers booked in, these are:

Gateshead, FC Halifax Town, York City, AFC Flyde & Hartlepool United.

For these games, the decision will be made one week prior to the game so that supporters have early notice and we can avoid cancellation fees for the coach. In the event that a coach does not operate to an away game, any supporter that has booked on will receive a full refund.

All other remaining league games will operate as before, with at least one coach travelling to each game.
