kwsaint Posted 15 November, 2014 Share Posted 15 November, 2014 Although not strictly related, I was going to this game with my dad and my uncle (since he supports Lincoln) but was called off because of a fire at the Hilton hotel. Had any one else planned on going to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets B Avenue Posted 15 November, 2014 Share Posted 15 November, 2014 Got there at 2.45 with a certain Club Historian, only to find people leaving the ground. We promptly turned round and headed back down Stoneham Lane, somewhat surprised that the previous hours rain had caused a postponement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had any one else planned on going to it? Do all non-league sides stay at hotels like the Hilton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twopintsnilnil Posted 16 November, 2014 Share Posted 16 November, 2014 Have you ever stayed at that hotel? Personally I hope it burns to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleyb5443 Posted 16 November, 2014 Share Posted 16 November, 2014 About 10 of us were going to see it, surprised it's £15 a ticket. Will probably never make the effort to see them again so it's a shame this happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 16 November, 2014 Share Posted 16 November, 2014 £12 a ticket at Eastleigh, although £3 extra if you want to sit. This is cheap by Conference standards. Aldersot charge £17 to stand for example. I wasn't going yesterday but have been to 4 games this season. They have some decent players there and have pumped a great deal of money into the club to achieve what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 17 November, 2014 Share Posted 17 November, 2014 That's ridiculous money for a non-league game. The Eastleigh price looks good compared to the similar prices I saw on the gate at Bashley out in the Forest a few years back and that's for non-league 2-3 leagues below the conference!!! I had a chat with CMFG at the Hilton years ago the day after we beat Liverpool with that glorious Riise OG, Brett Had not long joined from Blackpool and was staying there too with his family declining a pint in favour of afternoon tea with his missus. There you go I made the thread Saints related for those with OCD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go I made the thread Saints related for those with OCD Even if those Eastleigh prices are good compared to the competition, it's still high. I guess gate receipts are a vital income at that level so they need to price it as high as possible. That said I was contemplating getting along to a few Eastleigh games this season. Not sure I will now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
