[Zesh Rehman]

probably trigger

EDIT: looked at there website we charged them £16

 

[Kenhead]

Are they allowed to charge us more?


I think the main thing that is stopping people from going would be the cost of the travel rather than the match ticket itself....

They are charging the same for seats - there is no away terracing.

Yeh thats what hes saying

Pay into the main stand on the clarence road side of the ground! You have to walk past it to reach the away end ( Rink End ). That way you are covered and get in for half price....

 

[Chester Drawers]

I think (and I stand to be corrected) that the price of an FA Cup fixture is agreed between the two clubs involved and the FA?

 

[Silent Bob]

So why were ours set so high?

So much for the magic of the FA Cup. Have we entered the "not going to win it so not going to bother" mentaliity.

no, because if we get a 3rd round game away to a Premiership big boy, there will be twice the amount people that went to the Hartlepool home game applying for tickets

With the FA cup the gate receipts are shared between the 2 clubs and although the monkey hangers agreed to a price reduction, they would let us slash the price as we do for JPT or to a certain extent carling cup.

But they reduced their own.

How do you know it was Hartlepool? By the sounds of it it was the Albion who didn't want to reduce the price.

Just a hunch.

I have no evidence to back it up but there has been a history of it with various other clubs

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Hang on a minute. I thought the clubs had to agree on this? If so, why the f*** wernt the prices reduced for the game here? Idiots.
