Twenty's Plenty is a campaign lead by the Football Supporters' Foundation aimed at capping away tickets at £20 a head maximum (£15 for concessions).

Good call
I'll sticky it for a few days.
 

I think it's a good initiative but whilst demand for aways still vastly outnumbers supply I can't see why the clubs would do it. We like to think they care about us but they don't, they care about the pound notes in our pockets and how to extract them, nothing more.
 
Really hope this achieves something, although not overly hopeful that it will. Still important to let clubs know what the fans think, though. Given how many empty seats there were in the City areas at the Etihad on Wednesday I think they should have their own "Nine's Fine" campaign for home fan pricing.
 

Sometimes the club, despite the jabs about suntans and lawnmowers, does do the right thing. From today's Mail:

The richest league in the world received confirmation of their extraordinary £8billion-plus haul from TV rights on Thursday, yet couldn’t agree the way forward to help away fans.

The 20 Premier League clubs, despite being awash with money over the next three seasons (£5.1bn domestic and £3bn overseas), spent more time debating the issue of assisting travelling supporters than any other item on the agenda during a five-and-a-half-hour meeting in London.

The big clubs, as usual, were against the sensible proposal to cap away tickets at £30, although Everton spoke loudly in favour.

In a secret ballot, seven or eight clubs are understood to have opposed the capping — those led by greedy Arsenal who charge away supporters the most — leaving the Premier League short of the 14-club majority needed to make such changes.

The proposal will be back on the table at the March meeting after clubs voted heavily against the compromise of a funding arrangement where clubs would get money to help travelling supporters which they could use in varied ways.
