The Premier League has given the 20 top flight clubs 200,000 each to spend on subsidising costs for away fans and Sportsmail has investigated to see what they're doing with this money.

A 10 per cent decline in away attendances over the past five season prompted the Premier League to introduce this Away Fans Fund.

Will it get you travelling to more games? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.

Arsenal: Fans will receive a 2.50 discount on every remaining away Premier League match ticket. The club will also provide away supporters with a 10 refreshments voucher at an away fixture this Christmas and invest in the away end at the Emirates.

Aston Villa: Offering travelling supporters free coach travel for ten games this season, starting with their match against Hull City on October 5.

Cardiff City: Will subsidise 30 coaches for Norwich City away so fans only have to pay 5. The club are also looking into other deals. Fans travelling to Cardiff should also check out the club's Away Fan Guide.

Chelsea: Subsidised travel for at least 10 away games this season including long trips to Everton, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Sunderland.

Crystal Palace and Swansea City do a reciprocal deal which means 'any adult ticket can be purchased at half-price with every full-price junior ticket'. The Jacks also promise to provide a free hot meal for every travelling fan at Southampton on October 6.

Everton: Yet to be announced.

Fulham: Provide four free coaches at every Premier League away game. The club will also hand out free away tickets to junior season ticket holders and members.

Hull City: Offer free travel to away games and have nearly 30 coaches going to Everton on Saturday 19th October. The club will also offer free travel to Spurs (league and cup), Southampton, Arsenal, and Swansea City, all before Christmas. The club are looking at further offers in 2014.

Liverpool: Reducing away ticket prices by 2-4, dependent on the opposition. The decision was taken after consultation with the club's Supporters' Committee.

Manchester City: Manuel Pellegrini's staff and first-team squad have chipped in to the offer. Half-price tickets will be on offer to season-ticket holders at selected away games. Games will be chosen if a considerable travelling distance is involved or it falls in a series of games taking place during a short period of time.

Work is underway at the Etihad to improve the experience for visiting supporters. Club captain Vincent Kompany said: 'I hope this initiative proves how much we value our incredible support on the road'.

Manchester United: Consulted the Fans' Forum and knocked 4 off the price of every away ticket bought by a United fan, starting with the Fulham game on November 2.

Newcastle United: Funding disabled away fan travel for the remainder of this season but other plans are still to be confirmed.

Norwich City: Offering 'double discount' for trips to both Manchester clubs. The club also laid on 25 free coaches for the trip to Hull City and have offered half price tickets for Stoke City away.

Southampton: Yet to be announced.

Stoke City: Offering free coach travel to away fans for all Premier League fixtures. This has already resulted in the Potters taking a club record number of fans to Anfield for a Premier League fixture.

Sunderland: Subsidising away tickets at certain fixtures by 10 and improving the concourse, signage and bar areas for travelling fans. The Black Cats will also produce 40,000 guidebooks for visiting fans with things to see and do while in the area.

Swansea: see Crystal Palace

Tottenham Hotspur: Offering subsidised travel to all 14 top-flight games outside of the London area. They'll also assist official regional clubs travel arrangements and refurbish areas used to accommodate visiting fans at the Lane.

West Bromwich Albion: The club will provide free coach travel for 2,000 West Brom fans at a yet-to-be-confirmed fixture. Discounted ticket offers for selected games will also be made available to away fans visiting the Hawthorns. Away fans will also benefit from the reduced food and drink prices in the concourses at the Hawthorns.

West Ham: Yet to be announced.

The best way to spend the money is cutting the price of tickets for all away supporters.

As home supporters don't go into the away end I wouldn't know.

West Hams to go on a new striker!

This is a great idea but for fans like me who who support a London team but live in the home counties (which costs us 20 to get into London alone) it still makes away travel very expensive. I'd rather the club pay for half of my train ticket to the away game then offer me a coach

How chipper does the Alsatian in a Hull top look! lol

"Arsenal: Fans will receive a 2.50 discount on every remaining away Premier League match ticket." Thanks, I guess...

Not exactly imaginative is it? Still, better than a poke in the eye.

With all the money the Premier League makes this is a drop in the ocean. They keep drumming out this #youarefootball slogan, painfully aware that without the fans they are nothing. As such I think no travelling fan should pay over 20 a ticket. Ever. The Premier League as well Premiership clubs have the pockets to ensure this happens. Always remember - #wearefootball

Good work by the City players. Considering that PL footballers make so many millions, they can surely offer to subsidize some costs for the travelling supporters.

Especially pithy that it's City (both the club and the players), who seem to be looking after their fans best, considering we're always being told all our players are mercenaries and that we're ruining football! Certainly knocks spots off the paltry 4 off the rags are offering!

Decent of the city squad.

Well done Stoke. Get your finger out Everton.
