Chatting to some family members who are Chelsea fans over the weekend and they mentioned a new Premier League rule for next season that away fans have to be situated behind one of the goals. Sadly, after a bit of research this morning it appears that only "at least one block" has to be "pitchside". No mention of it having to be behind the goal, which is a shame. I can only think of Newcastle as being affected by this so not sure what the point is. Initially I thought Old Trafford as well, but apparently they had some lower tier in the corner last season. Also, not sure what's classed as pitchside at West Ham, but suppose they get away with it.

Can anyone think of any other grounds that might have to change?

Would the Travel subsidy allow us to charge away fans more for than £30 on the basis the additional charge above that figure covers the Travel?
