There's your answer.
There's your answer.
How could the club have got it wrong. Tickets £4 more then last year and the crowd bigger although only just. That would still mean a profit to the club. I honestly do not think game would have sold out if they had dropped ticket price. palace could only manage 13,600 odd and Bolton 12,200 odd, both teams played premiership sides. Like to know how our gate of 21,700 odd has gone wrong

Priced correctly imo - There were still £28 tickets left in the North stand so why do people think that £5 off a WSL ticket would mean they would have sold all of them?

I didn't go today in large part due to the price of tickets; enjoyed watching on TV for change. I would have gone if was up to £25 so I believe club could and should have done more but there you go.

Or £25.00 x 27,000 = £675,000.
Plus whatever the club would have made in the way of food/drink sales etc...

Seemed fair to me, best atmosphere so far with a lot of noise and singing, my first hearing of the "Adam El Abd" variant of the the "mna, mna" muppets song (I have heard of it but never performed live) and a very loud, heartfelt and well deserved chant of "one Liam Bridcutt" at the end when he was applauding the fans.
I am not buying this, people on here are moaning about paying £40 or £37 and saying it should be cheaper. There were tickets for £28 in the North, so for some who only wanted to pay £25 it complete bollocks to say it would have been a sell out, if we did still have tickets for £28 going unsold.

So you will pay £25, but not £28 ?

A poll that is easily influenced by the result.

I dont get it - Many people wanted an away game for the 3rd round and also on the current thread for the fourth round
Train travel up north £70 - £80 plus ticket etc or £35 on a coach. Or to a highly over inflated London club yet they quibble for 10 quid more for a home ticket which includes very reasonable travel

It's even funnier when they say, the club has missed out on them spending money on food and drink. Tickets left unsold at £28 and you have people on here saying if it was £25 they would be there. £3 that's the difference. So are we expected to believe they would turn up at£25 a head and spend copious amounts of money on food and drink. I think most would spend £3 less on food and drink surely
