That's what I mean. They should be covering as much of the bill as possible in exchange for putting this in an absurd location. I'm not paying $500, or even $250, to go and watch a "home" game that should've been here anyway.
They'll see it as "this is cheaper than if you bought it all separately" (Ian Allison pats self on back). They need to see it as "how can we get as many people there as possible, even if we have to eat most of it".
I know that this sounds entitled, but they want me to do them a favour and be there in person by going to go to Victoria for a weekday (or less), they need to make it worthwhile.
But who are we kidding? Even with an airline sponsor, the club probably can't afford to do much anyway, so they'll just put their hands up and say "we had no choice", and invite everyone back in April as if nothing happened.
