Also, didn't we score earlier, but it was disallowed, but not before about half of the home end were jumping up and down in celebration?! ;D Title: Re: FA Cup 2021/22 Post by: Horsham Cobbler on October 16, 2021, 17:45:44 pm Well, Horsham are in the hat for tomorrow's draw.

Title: Re: FA Cup 2021/22 Post by: Zen Master on October 17, 2021, 19:01:32 pm Hopefully a tasty encounter with a healthy crowd and decent away following to liven things up. Home advantage hopefully helps as it would be nice to progress and dare to dream of a bumper third round draw away to probably the lowest ranked team left in the cup whilst every team we resent get a mega away draw again.

DefinitelyTitle: Re: FA Cup 2021/22 Post by: Carton Lid on October 18, 2021, 11:13:03 am My first thoughts were "a decent draw" should get a good crowd, but thinking back over the last few years, we've struggled to get much over 3,000 in the FA Cup. I know the media and the FA have allowed the cup to be downgraded but that doesn't explain why some "regular" fans don't go to cup games. Is it having to go to purchase a ticket ? the price of the ticket or what ?
What do you think the ticket price should be ? Title: Re: FA Cup 2021/22 Post by: West Stand on October 18, 2021, 11:49:44 am IA higher percentage of our home crowd will be season ticket holders than in years past. I think people will view the game as one to miss as it's not in their season ticket allocation.

I don't get the "it's only the cup" or "concentrate on the league" That said, it is R1. £10 would be nice. £15 expected. Anything more a bit much. The only saving grace is that if they travel well, it could be a decent atmosphere Still the lottery of whether we play Friday, Saturday or Sunday though 🤷♂️ Title: Re: FA Cup 2021/22 Post by: EB Claret on October 18, 2021, 18:47:51 pm My first thoughts were "a decent draw" should get a good crowd, but thinking back over the last few years, we've struggled to get much over 3,000 in the FA Cup.

Is it having to go to purchase a ticket ? the price of the ticket or what ? What do you think the ticket price should be ? Good question, people will argue it's the 1st Round and it's 'only' Cambridge or a non-league team, so the prices should be cut. Then in later rounds the same people will moan if the prices go up when we draw City, Liverpool, Man U or Chelsea. It's a balancing act trying to attract fans without running at a loss. I think both clubs have to agree a price change don't they? Title: Re: FA Cup 2021/22 Post by: Deepcut Cobbler on October 18, 2021, 19:09:37 pm What's the best price to 'encourage' a full stadium?
In the later rounds, three onwards, if we get a stellar team, unfortunately we will probably fill the stadium even if they do inflate the price. For the first two rounds, £10 would be good but I wouldn't expect more than £15 to see whether it would/does make a difference against previous similar fixtures? Would the club be prepared to take that g.amble for this game? 8) Title: Re: FA Cup 2021/22 Post by: BackOfTheNet on October 18, 2021, 19:17:59 pm Oh, so basically any team that has the potential to cause an upset against us or any team we very rarely beat? Pretty much! For me the magic of the cup is the chance to see a clash of two teams that don't often meet, often with contrasting styles and vastly contrasting backgrounds. Sometimes we're David, other times we're Goliath, either way it carries its own entertainment value and novelty. In this game we're playing a side against whom we're pretty well matched in every respect and I've seen us play more times than I've had hot dinners!

Title: Re: FA Cup 2021/22 Post by: WadeyCobbler on October 18, 2021, 21:19:15 pm We actually haven't got that many Saturday home games between now and Christmas, so assuming this stays on the Saturday and prices are cut to say max £15, I reckon we could get 4,500-5,000 including say 750 away fans. I'm looking forward to it.

What I would like to see the club do is give away some tickets. Pack the East stand out with local schools, kids football teams, people in the military, NHS staff etc. Really put some effort into the kids area with face paint etc, maybe free flags or foam hands. We need to get more people coming and games like this are a great opportunity, As long as they play better than they did in the game the Afghan's came to!

This is the sort of thing our fans representative could push. Financially the cup games should be treated as a bonus so incentives should be given to try and boost the crowd and hook the younger fans or floating fans. Would still like to see the ticket prices reduced though. Title: Re: FA Cup 2021/22 Post by: west stand oap on October 20, 2021, 12:44:53 pm Given the historic stats for our games against Cambridge we would be better playing this on their patch.

Title: Re: FA Cup 2021/22 Post by: west stand oap on November 09, 2021, 11:43:25 am Looks like Cobblers or Cambridge away does not appeal to either Bradford or Exeter fans judging by remarks on the division 2 forum. Bradford fans suggest sending the youth team for their replay and Exeter fans think we are their bogey team which is probably true as we have a very good record against them here.

They were priced at £12, on the official site, on the 8th Nov, but yesterday they were £14 plus another £2 on the day. If the continue to rise by £1 per day, they will be £23 by match day :o
