This is a good gesture @GaytonMcK , but I am not impressed. As a retired pro sportsman I have seen first hand the 1st & Business class flights of the politicians to sports events. That's where your real expense is Sir. Until that change, I won't be impressed.

I have stopped all trips for super fans, we have athletes & artist who are struggling to raise money to attend sporting events and exhibitions, how do we justify paying for fans? We shall no longer be paying for these trips and will use that money where it’s needed the most.
