Most football clubs are viewed these days as attempting to squeeze every cent possible out of their supporters, be it through overpriced replica shirts, ticket prices or food at their ground.
So it's nice to see a club giving a little bit back to their fans. Southampton will be subsidising tickets, travel and meals for their final away game of the season at Swansea on May 3rd.
#SaintsFC's supporters were in excellent voice at the Etihad today, just as you have been all season. Now we want to give something back...
