ChippenhamRed Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 So, after West Brom graciously charged everyone a tenner today, will we return the favour for the replay? It would only seem fair on their fans to do the same. I realise the economics stack up differently next time - the game was a hard sell for them, but will sell out relatively easily for us I suspect - but I still think it would be the decent thing to do. Apologies if already mentioned elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash the Bash Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Went today and had such a good day but probably won't be going to the replay I'd be relatively disappointed if they didn't offer the tickets for £10-20.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider_boy Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Being a cynic, isn't an FA cup game the best game for clubs to offer cheap tickets, as the gate is shared with the away team anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Let's not forget that it's a business. There's no way tickets will be £10. It was be an horrendous business decision if they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was be an horrendous business decision if they were. I'm not arguing for it from an economic point of view; clearly it wouldn't make sense. I just wondered if it might be the decent thing to do. It would be nice if, just occasionally, a sense of being a part of the "football family" transcended financial gain. Naive I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 got to be a £10, understand its a business but the fa cup has a historic link with the fans and there are two him games the previous week to fork out for. come on city do right by the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 As I struggle to afford any games not covered by season ticket, would love the replay to be £10. Cant see it though as you say will probably sell out regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderup Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Would we give the Baggies the whole Atyeo? I appreciate that's 25% of the capacity but I guess they would sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Personally I'd expect it to be £10 - these discussions will have already happened between the clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 To be honest £10 was excellent value today, worth that for the atmosphere alone. But for long periods of the game, if not all of it, West Brom didn't seem such a difference in standard or quality from us. Infact I've seen teams better than them this season. I don't think we can charge top dollar even though they are a Premiership team etc, they just won't be attractive enough. Keep it low priced and fill the ground. Get it rocking, recreate the atmosphere. oh, and I feel whoever we draw in the next round will have a huge bearing on our approach to West Brom in the replay.

This would force Atyeo STH into other stands and pretty much rule out non-STH from attending as a result. Therefore, as a member, I disagree. No West Brom fan who wanted a ticket today would have missed out. Anyway I believe the usual restriction will apply as detailed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your misgivings, i am not sure what % of capacity is given to away fans for FA cup games, i reckon it's gonna be most of the atyeo anyway, excuse my ignorance on these matters, i await your answer with baited breath....EDIT.. 25% i just read above, apologies...so if the current limit is 15000, they would expect to be given approx 4000 odd ?

We have special permission during the redevelopment. So it won't be most of the Atyeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Normally 15% but we have permission to limit it to circa 1200/1300 - not sure which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
