Norwich fans protested at the £25 they were charged v Soton and lost half of their gate.
Stanley's cup pricing is economically myopic, as it won't attract new fans to grow the fan base. They should have learnt from the Burnley farce.

The club have got to be realistic. The town of Accrington is dying a slow death and local people are strapped for cash.
You only have to watch televised FA Cup games to see that even non-league teams have better stadia than us.
It's commonly accepted that visiting supporters view our ground as a right s***hole, and who can blame them?
Uncovered terracing open to hail, rain & snow, with only a small basic covered area, aptly described as the 'cowshed'.
Never mind electric scoreboards, I submit that it should be a priority to improve the facilities for away fans, starting with a roof over the Coppice end.
After all, we need as many away fans to attend as much as we need our own.
