40 for Nottingham Forest and 38 for Sheffield Wednesday at home, and 22 Peterborough United and

21 Nottingham Forest away. The average number travelling was down on the previous season, which

was in the Premiership. Fare prices again varied because of competition with other travellers. Peter

Payment is required at the time of booking apart from with Virgin Trains. Debts for the 2011-12 season

have been paid, but there has been no progress on previous seasons. Seven Club Season Tickets

season tickets when not attending themselves. We have again renewed Club season tickets for the

because of Wolves relegation, and twelve away season tickets have been bought by Club members.

thanks to Dave Slape and Bob Richards for their help last season.

racing. For this season Roy has options open for Christmas and a horse racing evening, including a

Queen tribute band for the end of the season.
