The club just had to sell one of better players to help ease the money shortage, and you expect them to be able to cough up money in advance? 
ffs us STH had to give our money well in advance this season due to the lack of funds at our club. Think about the club 1st and yourself 2nd.

As it been confirmed by someone at the club that we were offered these tickets? If not then we are we talking about it.

They expect us to help bail them out but they won't do anything in return.There is going to be a lot of disappointed people.If I'm 1 of them I'll be livid.They turned down the chance of keeping everybody happy because they are too tight the fork out.I'm sure if they had looked into it they would have found ways and means of getting the money in advance.Wardywonderland said:
from Insider:
"We were not being asked simply for £44k, but for the full payment up front of all tickets which was approximately £150k. Under the FA Cup regulations, the home team is allowed to do this.
We simply don't have £150k spare, even until the end of January when we will get our share of the gate money."

So because of the clubs financial problems some fans will be prevented from travelling away to watch The Albion because the club cant afford to buy the tickets to sell to the fans, this simply isn't right again we the fans suffer.

Yet more spin from the club
They have got more spin than an indian cricket team!!!

I can't believe that the FA ticket rules allow the home team to charge up front for tickets before the away club has started to sell. I can understand them doing this for extra tickets above the 15% allocation but surely the initial 15% allocation should be given to the opposition with no up front payment required.

id imagine Exeter would have a lot of problems if Man.U wanted them to pay upfront

FFS, the club is in financial shit. When I spoke to them, they said they'd asked for 7,000 tickets, obviously thinking they'd be able to flog 7,000 or thereabouts.Silver flying chariot said:
BUT, if they had to buy all upfront, they simply haven;t got the spare cash to do so. And sadly we suffer. But I do not think it is spin. We are just f***ed financially and that, unfortunately, is what happens. Take back the millions so far spent on Falmer, and no worries.

short term loan? our share of the gate will easily cover ticket costs

It's hardly the club's fault is it, we all know the financial situation we're in FFS! It's not like it's coming as any great suprise. The club have to think about cash-flow before they can just pay £150k upfront, short-term loans etc.. would just cost us more with high interest charges and we really need the highest revenues we can get out of this fixture with the minimum of costs to simply survive!

If they were in the least bit worried I'm sure they could have found a way of finding the cash to pay for them up front.
It could've been a good PR exercise even if they only broke even on selling the extra tickets.
But,hey what do they care as long as the initial allocation sells that'll do very nicely for them.

Possibly but I'm happy with that if it's more economically viable for them. If I miss out on a ticket so be it. Better that than the club miss out on a good money spinning opportunity. If they did what you say and made less profit then you'd be moaning about that so they can't win really can they?

I know that but its not our fault either!!
If they borrowed the £150,000 today it would be paid back before the 8th January because we would of sold all the tickets, thats less than a month!
Now the interest on that amount for that length of time would not be alot.
We would lose out eventually if we dont get the extra tickets because I doubt Spurs will sell out therefore the attendance will be down by 1200 and our share of the gate receipts would be impacted!

They could've still made profit on the original allocation.
If they bought the extra tickets that were on offer they could've broken even on them BUT kept evrybody happy.It would've been good PR for them and people might have been more inclined to throw into the begging bowl next time it's passed around.

Unfortunately with the current financial state of the club these aren't risk's we can afford to take. At the end of the day I've rather miss out on 1 match and still have a team to follow for the rest of my life. It's a no-win situation for them, whatever they do they'll come under criticism.
(as a side-note I've heard the Spurs tickets are selling fast, they sold 22,000 tickets for a pre-season friendly I'm positive they'll sell this out too.)
