Now the club have announced a price point which has surprised a lot of people, will you be going?

Was probably going to give it a miss but now I will almost certainly go.

I hope as many people as possible go as it will show the club that fans respond to cheaper prices and, if there is a bumper attendance, it might encourage the Albion to do similar again.

A tenner for an FA Cup Third Round game is a brilliant price.

I would have gone regardless as it is the FA Cup. The bonus, we could have 5 home gomes in 35 days starting with Huddersfield (only fly in the ointment could be if we beat Reading and get an away draw and/or Leeds beat Rochdale!!!!).

I said on another thread that i would probably give this a miss but those prices have completely changed things. Well done BHA with these brilliant prices :clap2:
 












The negative threads about prices have probably helped a decision to make this a very attractive price,just think what we might owe the more grounded members of nsc.:moo:

Also alot of those that have been encouraged with these cheap tickets are probably the ones buying more than one ticket???

An interesting experiment ,if we sell plenty of tickets, to see how the infrastructure copes with people being responsible for their own travel arrangements.

A fence > yes for me.

I reckon we will see a gate over 28,000 now, which will see us feature in the top 7 or 8 crowds for the round. These matches will all draw bigger gates:

Everton v QPR
Man Utd v Swansea
Newcastle v Cardiff
Arsenal v Spurs

And these matches will be similar:

Blackburn v Man City
Villa v Sheff Utd
Derby v Chelsea
Sunderland v Carlisle
and maybe Southampton v Burnley

I'm not going because I am working, I would have gone though at those prices, definitely!... No option on the poll for me.

I might have gone if the Express hadn't told me we'll be under forty feet of snow that day.

It took a quarter final last year for Blackburn to reach 20k fans watching the FA Cup, be suprised if they get 28k in one match, and don't think Saints or Sunderland will get 28k either both will suffer from Premiership irrogance towards the Cup...
