    lf ticket sales indicated that the number of tickets sold was approaching the capacity of the sections which were open, l am fairly sure the club would open additional areas of the ground.

    I don’t think we will get anywhere near 10,000, but in the post above, l suggested that the bottom tiers of the two stands would hold over 7,000 perhaps up to 8,000. If the club anticipate a crowd larger than the sections planned to be open, contingency plans need to be in place.

    I agree. Looking at the crowd from the MR on Saturday, I doubt there were more than 10,000 fans in VP for the FGR game despite the 14,000+ 'official' crowd. If there are more than 6,000 for the Exeter game, we'll have done well.

    I remember the Shrewsbury FA cup replay, they did eventually open up the upper tier of the main stand once enough people came in, so I think they would do that again.

    Currently every block on the ticketing website has good availability. Not sure how the system works with it being unreserved seating but it's looking like this could be our lowest Saturday FA Cup attendance for a while where normally get at least 5,000ish

    Match day Grecians will be on there way up been allocated 506 tickets. Hopefully a good game today Grecians unbeaten run 15 matches . We need to be up for it today Adams as been critical early season regarding there set up. Looking forward to the game and a good cup run to much misery about and whinging about. Hopefully celebrating tonight.

    You’re wrong there. It makes a big difference to those who have a disposal income of sub £50 per week, and believe me, there are a lot whom this applies to. Just look at the uproar from the UC slash of £20/month.

    Furthermore, we’ve never charged more than a tenner for a first or second round tie. You can hardly compare this to a 5th round or QF FA Cup tie where we did charge £15.

    The high league attendances are skewed because of very low season ticket prices.
    If ST prices were ‘normal’ @ say £300-350 I think you’d find the gap between cup and league attendances wouldn’t be as wide.

    I think you're right, price will be a factor for some but I also think many see it as an incredibly dull draw. A league 1 or non league side would have seen more interest imo.

    AK has already celebrated two City goals.

    I don’t know how much longer I can listen.

    Glad I'm not a Town fan if only for the reason I don't have to listen to the guy who does their coverage. His voice makes me irrationally angry.

    City doing very well tbh. Especially considering their recent form.

    Robinson and Vernam getting lots of the ball and seem to be playing well together from what I can glean of the commentary.
