Not Uncle Dave's price tag for the club but the cost of watching Town stuff Wycombe tomorrow. Pretty decent value I reckon. I wonder how many will take advantage of the cost-cutting exercise and turn up?

About 3000 people all in I should think.

Quickly looking online there seems to be no more than a few hundred sold in the East Stand. I hope there's more - 3500 wouldn't be a shocker given the status of the FA Cup these days & will be more a good few.

It isn't just us, as you say that would be a decent attendance

Not great for those arguing for affordable football.

Similar prices for the Scunny game 2 seasons ago when we were going well, with a local derby against Derby on the horizon and we could only get 6000

Midweek mind. If that had been a Saturday at those prices there'd have been 7k+ I reckon.

And we had 1600-1700 at scunny

I really don't get the demise of crowds for the early FA cup rounds, 30 years ago they generally upped the gate, magic of the cup and all that!

I absolutely loved the FA cup as a kid and I still do, 1997 and the feeling after Hewitts equaliser is the absolute pinnacle of my years following the town...

So I for one am really looking forward to this afternoon and at a tenner a pop, I hope we get a minimum of 4000 home fans, as come the semi final I'm sure we will get a minimum of 24,000....

Feeling unusually positive, COYB!!!

It's the demise of the entire competition.

Semis at Wembley, Man United being 'excused', Premier League obsession at the top end etc etc.

Not a great interest now until the underdogs bag a tie against bigboys in the 3rd round.

Semis at Wembley was an obscene devaluation of the cup final

[martatcross]

Sad that the FA cup lost its standing in our national game. It once was special remember as a kid getting up to watch the final with the build up its a knockout etc it was great. Football wise I used to look forward to the cup going to first round home or away and yes I was at Blyth (it's fa cup got to mention that although it's been done before)

What's it looking like round town, decent numbers out?

Ched on the bench again

Bit odd really. On the bench while he regains match fitness?

Suspect he still got a niggling injury.

Five quid per half for that tripe, they know how to charge don't they #robbinbastards

[spireitetoo]

I'd say so at two quid a goal (and a sending off chucked in for free!)
