It does though help with community cohesion and bringing people together.

I think it's definitely something we could explore. The more people watching our club, the better.

This is absolutely political and ideological. That is why I posted what I have said.
Do people from immigrant comunities not earn money the same as everyone else? The stupid thing is- is what you propose is actually more divisive than cohesive, as the town voted by a huge majority to leave the EU, but you would rather inflame things more, for your own political and ideological purposes.

However, from the West Wales coast (Pwllheli, Porthmadog) etc the train connection is via Shrewsbury and takes nearly 5 hours one way.

The bus is a great initiative!!

Would there be a way to offer a match plus train ticket at a discount rate though? I think in Germany you have access to free public transport with match tickets??

When I was in Berlin last year we went to watch Hertha at the Olympic Stadium and had free public transport all day.

Please take a look at what you are posting. You are saying that trying to appeal to members of our community who don't currently come to games is divisive and you are trying to link it with Brexit.

Unless you are implying that everyone who voted for Brexit did so because they don't like foreigners living in our community, then your argument has no legs.

I think trying to appeal to areas of our community who don't attend games in as great a number as they could is to be encouraged; as a club and as a community we all benefit, whether that is people who live elsewhere in North Wales, people from ethnic minorities, women, immigrants, gay people or whoever.

The bus is a superb initiative. If this takes off perhaps the club could look to add more from other areas of North and Mid-Wales.

With initiatives like this, we'll be MASSIVE if we have a successful season.

You would see coaches from all over North Wales parked on the hill leading up to Caego.

The potential fan base of this club is massive.

That was one of my memories of the glory days of the mid 70's, the number of coaches parked up in the club car park as you said from all over North and mid Wales..

Whenever you respond, you always try to twist, to imply some kind of racist, homophobic or sexist slant.
Who has said that they do not want to attract new people to The Racecourse of any race, religion, gender or sexuality?
Look back to who made the original post- Foxy- a person who believes that anything British is synonymous with Neanderthal and anyone who voted Brexit is a microwave meal-eating braindead chav.
To find a symptom or solution, scientists often look at extremes. So lets apply your's and Foxy's hypothesis to a national level.
Lets just suppose that the UK government proposed to introduce reduced rail fares, solely for immigrant communities, or say, reduced cinema tickets, or reduced entrance fees to different events. Do you think that would cause friction or cohession? and because of the current politcal chaos in the country and the issues surrounding immigration, do you think that would be a sensible
thing for a commercial organisation who has very limited funds, to take part in?

Nearly every organisation or company tries to attract additional people from all sorts of demographics, particularly focusing on those who don't currently use their services or buy their products. That can involve discounts or just making them aware of what they offer. It's called marketing. That's how companies or organisations grow.

As an example; I don't often shop at Tesco, although I used to. I now get bombarded with money off a £50 shop vouchers from them in the post every few weeks.
