I wouldn’t say fleecing. Its a premium package marketed to those who can afford it. Most fans are happy to put money in to the club, scaleable to their financial capability. We’ve got supporters putting money in all the way from the guy who buys a home top every year, up to people like Douglas Park, John Bennet etc who have put in millions and everybody in between.
For that cost you’ll get:
- chartered plane to Lyon as part of the official club party.
- transfer to hotel
- pre match meal
- transfer to match
- category A match seat
- transfer to airport
- back on the charter direct to Glasgow.
For people who can afford it, its a good itinerary, direct flights, no messing about with connections and travel all over the place.
For the club its a decent bit of business as part of the price will offset the cost of travel for the club. (Team and directors travel is expensed to the club.)
