shocked at the prices although i believe at £20 the most expensive at Accy ever will this affect the gate....i certainly think it will

cashman · 20-01-2010, 01:25

Err in a word, NO, Fulham fans will be used to paying that amount and more for a premier game never mind an FA cup game. I also reckon that the home end will be well attended as well..............off to get my 2 tickets first thing tommorrow.

nige b · 20-01-2010, 01:35

monsieur cowboy i shall also have my tickets wouldn't miss it for the world but what i meant for an accy fan that's a lot of money and for the average can't be bothered fan far too much and someone around the area (burnley/blackburn) why do it...........ps is your mc'conville shirt fitting ok courtesy of kiwi?

BLACKBURN RAVER · 20-01-2010, 01:56

said t' wife i was goin to this, but payin £20 is a bit harsh, think il stay at home

I haven't done any sort of research on the matter...but if memory serves........

I think I'd agree with the initial post that it's the F.A. who regulate the ticket prices for the games.

I think It may also be that the gate receipts from the game are split three ways, a third each to both clubs and the F.A. retain the other third.

I don't know how, or if this may apply with any T.V. income but I'd imagine it's on a similiar line as the gate receipts. After all, the F.A. have to raise the income for their prize monies, but I suppose with respect to ticket costs, I'd assume it's a case of the higher the profile of the cup tie (i.e. the further the club progresses in the competition), then the higher the cost of admission........

I may be wrong and if so I will stand duly corrected

However on the gate receipts front, then after feeling our may chance have gone after the Barnet drawn game (Ref & all!!) a full house on Saturday will result in more cash going into the club's coffers aiding the club in it's efforts to get financially solvent, the extra few quid in my eyes is well worth it, especially if it results in being able to keep hold of our rising stars and strengthen looking to move on and up League Two !!!

Just re-read my post and it comes accross as rather flippant.........not at all what was intended!! You have a point and I guess I was looking at it from a rather insular point of view, so yes it could put people off..........hope not though!

As for the shirt, lets just say that Mr McConvilles physique is, erm, a little slighter than mine !!!..........Will go nicely on the Studio wall tho!
