Match Thread FA Cup - Home v Exeter Sat Nov 6th @ 3.00pm

Can't find that list, but I doubt Estonia will be on it. Audio only I guess.

 

Could be my mistake. I might've been thinking of the game that's live on Sky. Will have a look and let you know.

 

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

 

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.

 

I don't think the extra £5 makes any difference. We've charged £15 in the past and still got around the same attendances as £10. If someone wants to pay cash they can just go to the ticket office and pay by cash. You can guarentee that if cash on the turnstiles was an option then them same people would complain about not getting the 20 loyalty points. If they say you can pay cash on the turnstile for this then people will turn around and say why not do it for the league

 

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.


“Live it up” mental as anything

 

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

 

Is it on Radio Leeds?

 

Yes one of the DAB stations

 

Every competitive City game is on Radio Leeds

 

Is that a promise that we are going to be competitive?

 

3,327

 

Just goes to show what a fair weather fan base we have. 13000 season ticket holders yet probably looking at 4000-5000 today.
I’d bet that the other clubs at our level aren’t looking at such a big gap in the ratio of season tickets sold to their attendance today.
Embarrassing. Yet some of you will tell me we’re a big fish in a small pond.

 

Nothing embarrassing about it, every club will have a reduced attendance for the first round of the FA Cup, fans will attend if they think its good value not sure £15 is a realistic price to pay.

 

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.

 

I don’t think price is the main factor. If we get to 3rd round and draw a big club, there would be 20000 fans somehow finding the money. The low attendance today is simply because it’s not an interesting tie.

 

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