I got a ticket for 17.50 rather than the 20 it would have cost had we accepted the Newcastle proposal. No reason for Newcastle not to discount their fans to go to Norwich.

No - it's only fair everyone else benefits from our inability to defend in the last 10 mins of matches

Costing Norwich what? they were given 200k to subsidize away prices like every other team.
Even so that doesn't even matter because by ripping off every other team in the country for a trip to a garden shed they'll still turn a profit after subsidizing prices. Why would Norwich lose money rather than take 20 quid tickets? The whole point of this plan was to make tickets cheaper for the whole not for one.
As for Newcastle subsidizing their own. They could do but it would have a negative effect on their existing plan which is simply to offer every club in the league away tickets for 20 quid on the basis they receive the same back. Newcastle then spend the existing £200, 000 and whatever is needed from their own pocket to subsidize away travel. It'd work out rather cheap if you got away tickets for 20 quid and travel even cheaper.
