RedWillie Posted 5 January, 2014 Share Posted 5 January, 2014 I would be amazed if we get anywhere near how many fans went that day Tickets for that game were £10 adults and £5 for everyone else - however it was an evening league cup game.

SaintBobby Posted 6 January, 2014 Share Posted 6 January, 2014 (edited) Well, that draw persuades me that I'm probably more interested in the FA Cup than the League this season (barring a massive upswing or a massive downswing in our form in the league) Edited 6 January, 2014 by SaintBobby typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were set for mid table this season. A cup run is what its all about. A good passage to wembley is far more realistic than European football any other way.

JRM Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 Same price as Burnley was on Saturday is it not? its a crap price, and we will get a small crowd reflecting that. they could have still let season ticket holders have their own seats as long as those seats are in the open areas of the ground - that would have helped them sell a few as well.

Huffton Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 £20 is bad pricing for this. Yeovil obviously get a say but this is a bit silly IMO. They are shutting parts of the ground, I can't see them getting more than 10K at that price. Why don't they use a bit of common sense, price it better and fill the ground, both teams would be better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 also, yeovil have a say in this right? Not much of one. Basically, the home side decides what they want to charge and the away side only gets a say if they complain to the FA, whether that's because they think fans are being ripped off or if they think they won't make enough money out of their share of the gate. either way, it will be circa 18k and that will probably be one of the biggest outside of the top 6 clubs left in the competition Wouldn't bank on it. IMO the only way we're getting a bigger crowd than for the Burnley game is if Yeovil bring 3,000 (which they might, but no guarantee). Weaker opposition with ST holders not having the convenience of their own seat being reserved initially, why would they pay £20 for that if they couldn't be arsed for the previous round? We weren't the biggest outside of the top 6 in the last round (ours was only the 14th-highest attendance of the 29 games played at the weekend), no reason to assume we will be this time either.

Up to 4700 (less segregation), but as blocks 41 and 42 are available for home fans, it's fair to assume they've not asked for the full cup allocation.

Whitey Grandad Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 how do clubs split the match day revenue in the FA CUP? isn't it 45% of the profits for each club with 10% to the FA? Yep, net proceeds in the 3rd 4th 5th & 6th rounds. The 10% goes to the FA pool to be shared amongst the league clubs later. If one of the teams is non-league then it is 50:40:10 with the 50 going to the non-league team. Replays are 47.5 : 47.5 : 10 : 5 with the 5 going to the FA. http://www.thefa.com/~/media/files/pdf/fa-competitions-1314/fa-cup/fa-cup-rules-2013-2014.ashx. Section 22 refers to proceeds.

yorkie Posted 8 January, 2014 Share Posted 8 January, 2014 Here's my take on it - when we come to get to the semi finals and final - who gets first pick of the tickets? We all know the answer season ticket holders - so what is the point of attending this game - it won't get you to Wembley! Sure if you go to see the mighty Yeovil - you might see a great display - but it could be more like a training game - they are not as good as Burnley! Even the media do not see this as a potential upset or the cameras would be there - so it's a nailed on home win with bells on. We take our foot off the gas and we will get done - I still remember Wrexham in the 5th or 6th round at The Dell in the 70's. We were tumbling down Div.1 and they were 4th Division! David Smallman scored from memory - how sad is that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 9 January, 2014 Share Posted 9 January, 2014 £12 To stand in a shed to watch Basingstoke Town in the Skril Conference South league at the Camrose ground, or £20 to sit in a stand, the majority of which will be out of the rain, with a good view to watch Premier league v Championship in the FA Cup. Its all over priced but by comparison not a massive mickey take, like £40 was it to watch Chelsea from behind the goals. Eastleigh is £12 too, Bashley out in the Forest playing in the Southern League is £10, Luton Town in the Skril Premier £18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 17 January, 2014 Share Posted 17 January, 2014 Bit of a cockup really seeing as there will be 12k empty seats around the ground, perhaps they should have left block 42 off sale as it looks like Yeovil could have sold that as well. I am pleased there will be a big away following for this, will give it a good cup atmosphere and should help us get just over 20k i reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
