Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: FA Cup - Home v Exeter Sat Nov 6th @ 3.00pm

Maybe a month late but this a video vlog my recent visit to Valley Parade from this game, have to say I really enjoyed my trip to Bradford a ground certainly with a lot character and good fan base that should be higher up the leagues.

 

If we're drawn against a big gun like The Dog and Duck at home we're out...

 

We beat Chelsea, this is our tournament, we can take anyone.

 

Exeter at home, not bad not great. Glad we are forcing a long away trip for them though.

 

Winnable.

 

We need to win a cup game for a change, especially if we’re now a self sustaining club. Winnable but not easy, reminds me of when we got Oldham last season.

 

Don't see them changing from what they've been doing all season including in the Papa John's where it's been all ticket. I think covid was used as a bit of excuse for making it all ticket, apart from cash handling there isn't much of a covid related reason for it. Like the catering it'll be part of the transition to becoming a cashless stadium

 

Agree. Who doesn't love winning a cup match? We haven't won many in recent years!

Can we get spurs away in the 3rd round or 4tg round or 5th round...

Quite like the look of that mammoth stadia

 

Well I intended going but the restrictions on the seating areas lower Sunwin and lower Kop will be like sardines in a can so it’s a miss for me unless city change the seating arrangement, for the extra couple of Stewards required they could have opened the Midland road stand, my guess is if we win on Sat it would double the estimated ticket sales gate of 5k against Exeter to about 9k to 10 k
so come on City open the midland road stand it will also give a better atmosphere.

 

So do I but the match day experience is likely to be flat, atmosphere wise. Even with cheaper admission, I doubt the attendance would significantly increase. It really is difficult to fully explain why a home FA Cup game is likely to attract only 25% of the spectators, compared to the preceeding home league game.

 

Won't get half that....

 

I thought the announced crowd seeemd about right.

 

But then the name is wrong.

Loyalty can't be equated to spending money.

They should have called it "priority scheme" or something else.

 

Not sure what they expected by setting prices at £15 and no cash sales on the day.
If there’s a replay it could be our lowest ever away attendance in the FA Cup.

 

Can't see many more than 4500 myself
If there was 10k in the ground against FGR I would be surprised
Poor day fans will settle for the odd scorecheck throughput the afternoon
Mr Adams expecting 10k says it all

 

I never said it would be the main factor, but I agree with bantamlad92 that it will be a factor for some City fans.

 

And now hits the net!
