Replay tickets free to S/T holders and members

[Mellotron]

Wow.

 

[7:18]

Great gesture by the club - but I just can't get 2 days off work at such short notice. Will have to watch the rank ITV coverage I suppose.

ditto, such a shame, but a great gesture by the club...BARBER IN!

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Well done to the Albion. Can't go but that is immaterial, there will surely be loads who are tempted now!

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Bet it does too! OK, so fans who buy a ticket and don't go will be up to 75p better off then

Back to the main point - for those fans who do go - it's a great offer!

Don't forget the loyalty points - you can't put a monetary value on them!

 

[dazzer6666]

WRT some other threads, this is presumably the club 'not being interested in the FA Cup' again is it ? Great gesture, would love to go but can't take the time off work this would mean.

 

[Ernest]

Should have put free coaches on as well

 

[saltdeanseagull]

Does anyone who has been to a cup replay before know if seagulls travel are likely to do any coaches and how soon places would be on sale? Very tempting if they do or can find a train bargain!

The only fans who will be 75p better off are those paying adult prices If you've got 100 people on your friends and family list can you buy them all a ticket and have the e-cash

 

[Bold Seagull]

You don't get any e-cash cashback on ticket purchases.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Meh. I was expecting them to charter a few flights.

This is a bit of an empty gesture TBH.

 

[poidy]

Tempting to cash in on the loyalty points though.

I assume the Love Bus is going , non members of the official supporters club are always welcome if spaces are available.

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

Trains look like a no go unfortunately

 

[Bob!]

How many tickets are we getting?

 

[soistes]

Once again this shows how Barber and co are able to get a very sensible balance between the feelings of the fans on the one hand, and the need to steer a tight financial ship on the other hand.
Judging by the reaction on here (normally quite a critical audience) this will be well received by the majority of fans, and is likely to significantly increase the support at an important televised match (and who knows, that could even help influence the outcome of the match itself). The cost of the gesture, even if it's widely taken up, is trivial compared with the income from the TV coverage, and the potential income if we go through.

 

[Foolg]

Costing me £6 for train and match ticket, so that's definitely 1 that they've added to the attendance, i'd not have been able to afford it otherwise!

Although If it goes to Extra time I have the decision between staying (and waiting for the 5am train), or missing it.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Good call from the club. At least the away section should be fairly full as a result.

6 days away, travelling 280 miles to see an Albion XI featuring development squad and youth team players play against a similar Hull team. Pretty much impossible to get home the same night/next morning with public transport.

There'll be a maximum of 150 and that's being very generous. We took 230 two seasons ago midweek and that fixture was known well in advance.

Massive well done though to the club for this

No, but if the club are processing the ticket price refund as an e-cash credit (which they are), you can use the e-cash for beer/pies, where you do get the discount!

 

[Hillian1]

What the hell are they thinking of FFS.

We have just lost 14.7 million and need every penny.

Barber OUT.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Anyone know coach details - from Horsham?

Fantastic by the club.
