Clayton End, to the north of the pitch, amongst the Stanley fans. But you might not stay neutral for long!

However, should you prefer something a little more 'up-market' then can I direct your feet towards THE Main Stand !
Why ?, do I hear you ask. Well for a start the denizens are decidedly more classy. Indeed the very first one you are likely to meet seated just behind our Managers perch will be Clitheroes finest the effervescent Mab !, who will guess the gate for you in a trice !. Then you might notice that paragon of geniality Tommy McQueen, ardent fan and fount of Soccer knowledge, and all things to do with Pies !
If you are really lucky you might find yourself sitting ( Note sitting not standing) by FA19. Who will, during the match quote to you more Soccer tactics than you can shake a stick at !. Such a fascinating prospect ?.
But just ignore the morose looking couple sitting just behind him , they will be Yonmon and Yonmon jnr, whose never ending efforts at sad humour will make you wish you'd gone on the Clayton End in the first place !.
Wherever you stand or sit Alan....just enjoy the ride on the Red Rollercoaster with the rest of the Stanley family...you won't be disappointed !.

ps.... which I've forgotten !.

Yonmons quite correct mate, but be warned, he cant tell Stork from Butter.

alan smithee · 10-12-2016, 08:41

Cheers.

Tempting as that sounds I might stick with the original suggestion of the Clayton end as I love a bit of terracing.

Also, my spread identifying skills are little better than mediocre so I really can't afford to be too judgemental in the butter/ Stork debate.

Ticket details now on fishy site - no cheaper deals which is a shame given it's just after Christmas.
Season ticket holders have from today till Thursday to get theirs plus one extra if you want one, open sale from Friday - can't see it being a sell out tbh so won't be rushing to get mine

cashman · 12-12-2016, 18:40

Not a hope in hell of a big gate.

deeayess · 12-12-2016, 19:07

I was swithering about it but that's made up my mind. Not a chance.

understandable mate.

This is an "all pay" game. Not it isn't as a lot will swerve it now.

I know this is about getting a big gate receipt from the Luton fans, but not worth the bad will from fans used to paying £8.65 a game. We could have done with a big crowd to cheer us on to the 4th round, it will be like luton have home advantage now.

Economic myopia.

disagree

its the 3rd round

the club have a minimal charge set by the fa - (will need to check what it is but mr.T will know)

a season ticket is only for league games

why do people expect hand outs?

Do you not comprehend the idea of getting a big crowd behind Stanley by offering cheaper tickets. I would suggest the minimum is £10 as per the Woking game. But it is up to the clubs in reality to set the charge. I believe the club has missed a trick here and on a cold January Saturday a small crowd will ensue, unless the prices are reduced. It is NOT a handout, it is an incentive!

A tenner sounds about right for the minimum charge. That's the price for the Sunderland v Burnley tie

The minimum is £10 for the third round, same as the first and second round, and fourth, firth and sixth for that matter. The price is at the home club's discretion, it aint worth double the last round is it?

Why would you need Mr T to check when you have internet access and it takes 20 secs to fins it out?

In my experience it is the club not the fans asking for hand outs, and loyalty should work both ways.
