I'm in East Upper so hopefully this will weed out those buggers that leave early(await another binfest!) They may stay and get their moneys worth on the night.

Sold out last year at a 22k capacity.

Now, 5k capacity more, a less convenient kick off time, on free tv, reckon will do well to get 20K.

Won't look great on TV with 7k empty seats!

Working so can't make it anyway so will be watching on the box i'm afraid

Classic post. I want your job.

Jesus, bring out all the whingers and keyboard warriors. I remember when for years we went without any glamour tie and Middlesborough was about the biggest it got. Cannot understand why people would think it would be any different. Still, if you don't want to go then don't. Don't believe for one minute it will be anything like 10k under capacity. As for the geordies, they are not all based in the north and their fans in south could account for their allocation and the opportunity to see their team live. Let's not forget to the Geordies, it is a religion!!!!

Also, the whingers have all lambasted the the prices but not one seems to have suggested what would have been an acceptable price. Let's guess, some will suggest £25, some £20 and no doubt those living on the planet zog would baulk at paying £10.

£37.00 to sit in a seat I've already forked out money for. Bit cheeky but I'll be damned if I don't pay it all the same.

the club should of

Should HAVE!

Jesus, I was paying 24 quid for a L1 game at Withdean.......STH now fortunately enough, so 28 quid for an FA Cup match against a Newcastle side at The Amex is fine in my opinion.

 

[banjo]

Northstand £28 bargin.

How is it your position to make monetary assumptions about your fellow fans and what they can afford?

Good post.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Correct.
Remember that these prices have been set by BHAFC and NUFC jointly.
I can't help thinking that there would have been a lot less moaning if we'd won or drawn on Saturday.

I'd imagine Newcastle didn't take much convincing to set prices at these levels with our previous sellout against them and our attendances this season.

I can't imagine they were even that bothered. A potential extra £100k or so is a drop in the ocean for them, surely?

They're probably quite pleased they got a winnable tie away from home. No fuss with organising a half empty St James' Park (or whatever it is called).

 

[Solid at the back]

They can seriously go f*** themselves £30+ for a shitty cup game that hardly anyone gives a f*** about anymore, nah, think I'll have a nice lie in and stick it on the telly.

 

[Daddies_Sauce]

We’ll not be paying the £39 for our seats, Gus will treat this like previous cup games (not give a toss, not important) and will use this as a ‘shop window’ for the likes of Hoskins and Harly etc.

That is what I fear, stump up £37 and see Brezovan in goal and half the development squad playing

 

[tgretton87]

Wont sell out being only a few days after Xmas & new years Moneys tight!

I will watch on the box!

 

[Worthingite]

IIRC the Wrexham game - same round of the FAC - was £15? I think paying 2/3rds of the cost of my ST is a piss take - especially when I can watch it at home, in the warm, with a case of beer that will cost lest than 2 pie and pints and a programme. Arseholes to that. I'm out.
