EFL Cup - Colchester (H)

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Hopefully the club will reduce ticket prices to £20 adults to get a bumper audience in.

I'm not sure I pay that much for a league match, they won't get a score off me for this match

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Home tie is good, lets actually win a match in the competition this year shall we

Anyway, it's the League cup, not the Rumbelows cup, the milk cup, the Berni Inn cup or the ****ing EDL cup, it's the league cup

 

[Notters]

Gillingham have Southend away on 6th and 9th August

 

[crabface]

I shall look forward to this, as other people have said hopefully the club are sensible so and set ticket prices at a low price and we can fill the ground.

Yes, they and Norwich were rewarded with byes to the 2nd round for being the two hihest finishing EFL sides from last year.

 

[ditchy]

thanks , that takes the pish really should be in the mix as Villa are

 

[Two Professors]

Hopefully cheap tickets as we will probably play our fringe players.

Maybe we'll have O'Gravey back-he was good in cup matches

 

[mikeyjh]

I wish the unseeded teams were given the home legs, doesn't make sense to have half empty (optimistic) stadiums with a game of little interest to the home fans. Surely, for example, it would be a bigger deal for Grimsby to be playing us at their place than the other way round....

Would rather see the Development players with a future unless we use the game to put him in the shop window.

 

[Postman Pat]

Yes, a tenner would be even better. Great gesture if the club do this.

Do we have to negotiate the ticket price with Colchester?

Like last year, then?

Whilst I don't disagree with you I'd rather there wasn't seeding at all just stick all the balls into a hat and you get who you get.

 

[heathgate]

10k bums on seats unless prices are dropped to decent levels.

100% agree. Wish they'd do that in Tennis too.

Yes we do and i would imagine Col U are looking at this as a bumper payday for them so will want to keep the ticket prices fairly high to maximise their revenue from the tie.

Didn't we lose at Walsall in the first round? COG pen over the bar....

Edit: Apologies, as pointed out below Southend.

We beat Southend in the first round and were dire at Walsall in the second round.
