Affordable Football & Rugby (Or Vice Versa)

Some interesting deals have cropped up over the past few weeks that have combined football and rugby (both codes) either where the sports take place at the same stadium or they are planned to do so shortly.

With the London Broncos having moved into Barnet FC's The Hive for the new Super League season, the Bees (who are always very active when it comes to ticket promotions) have already run a couple offers. With both sides at home on the weekend just gone, members from either club were able to watch the other match for free.

Something similar is happening at Rochdale this coming weekend under the hashtag #TeamRochdale. The promotion-chasing footballers host Accrington Stanley on Saturday and anyone who purchases a ticket for that game (from £15) can return to Spotland the following day to watch Rochdale Hornets in Challenge Cup action for just £5.

Bristol City season ticket holders, meanwhile, are able to watch Bristol Rugby's game against Ealing Trailfinders on Sunday 30 March for free with season ticket holders at the Rugby club able to do the same when City host Preston North End on Saturday 5 April.

This comes ahead of a move to Ashton Gate next season for the Rugby club, one that has seen plans for rail seats to be installed at the ground, for use at rugby matches only to begin with ahead of possible changes to legislation that allow them to be used for football.

Affordable Football aims to bring you the special offers, reduced ticket prices and family deals that make catching a match anywhere in the country more affordable. You can tweet us @affordablefooty or email affordablefootball@yahoo.com if your club are doing something worth hearing about.
