I stand very much corrected I am definitely in the mood for one..or two I don't know where some of them get the money from. Some must spend every spare bit of cash on following the club around the country. Astounding respect to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Per the Fulhsm thread, well over 1500 sold now. Going to be a fun day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Should be well over 2000. With a couple of wins starting on Saturday we could well sell out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll sell out regardless of wins. It’s been in general sale for one weekday day, is it? Sure they’ll give us as many tickets as we need beyond the initial 2500 Edited December 13, 2018 by NewBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to give us 15% of their capacity as it's an FA cup game, I'm sure 3800 will be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythemostimportantkick Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 With the reported prices of beer down there can anyone recommend a good street corner or park I can sup my cans of skol and smoke my buda? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I think they will give us most of the end behind the goal we will get more tickets I reckon no worries. For lovers of good/bad roof theory the away end has good accoustics so we shoukd make a good racket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 It's just been announced that there will be no replays in the 5th round this year, to prevent fixture congestion. A year earlier than scheduled, because 6 of the greedy league have qualified for European competitions. The prize money of 360000 will be split 75% to the eventual winners after extra time and penalties, and 25% to the losers. They diminish the FA Cup even further to suit the greedy league. How long before replays are removed from round 3 onwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your over all point, but I wonder how many league one and two sides, have gone through on a 5th round replay in the last 20 years? Hardly any. This will have little impact to small clubs IMO. However, if it moves further to round three, then that is a pisstake.

I don’t know how many more examples there are but that alone shows the type of trip and money-spinner that is potentially being taken away.

Your example is a good one, and I don’t disagree. I also think the overall distribution of wealth in the game is a joke- particularly through the academies. However on this partcular point I think it makes overall common sense. The decision isn’t just about the rare or very infrequent lost income for league one and two, there is fixture congestion in all leagues. The championship and prem are quite rightly allowed a say on that. If in Jan/Feb we are doing well, do we want a replay that saps our league form? I personally like the idea of having a prem side at BP in round 5 where there must a be winner. If your at that stage, you’ve already made a good few quid. I’d rather that, than a heroic draw which gives you an energy sapping replay. Which the underdog never wins, and very often affects league form. The cup is nice, and financially good. (This won’t change that dramatically) The league is what matters IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a fourth replay against Everton didn’t we? Wasn’t Sutton back in the 80’s when they beat Cov? Dale is a good example last year. I’m not saying it doesn’t ever happen. I just don’t think it’s a calamity for our level. There’s others area’s we should be asking for more money- academies and solidarity payments are the two obvious ones.

We did (2nd replay) but when Matt Smith equalised in the last minute that was the 5th round. Sutton was a couple of years ago when them and Lincoln got to the 5th round, I think.
