They may have but I haven't heard anything so assumed they weren't but with some decent PR / Marketing the whole move could have been done a lot better.

5 quid ticket made all the difference to JPT semi, no way it would have sold out if not for that pricing.
Click to expand...

Yes it would have sold out. And it did.
Chelsea fa cup sold out full price that was not £5.

Why cant people get the fact, sucessfull teams = more fans!

And before people say it only sold out because it was chelsea this is bullshit.
Does that mean all fans went to the 87 cup final for spurs?

No. Bigger the crowds further you get in tournaments.

Nonsense. It was a fiver for the Burton game. 5000 turned up. It was a fiver for the Crewe game (admittedly Crewe are a big draw) and over 30K turned up. What was the difference would you say?

Your Burton comment fits exactly with what I believe that the price was not the significant factor. It was the fact that the first time for what seemed like an eternity Cov fans finally got a whiff of success.
Click to expand...

I Know a lot of non cov fans who attended because it was a big game and only a £5. I don't think we'd have sold out 32k if it had been £20+. In fact I don't think we'd sell out at £20+ if we did make it the league one play offs.

Maybe it is but the Crewe match was a midweek fixture as well.

So if price was such a critical factor in getting us 30k then.

I would expect that we will see some increase in attendance tonight with a reduced £9 fee.

(Which we will not)
Click to expand...

You can't compare ticket prices and attendances for a midweek L1 match against relegation battlers at sixfields to a JPT semi final at the Ricoh.

They could give them away for free and we still wouldn't see an increase in attendance.

I usually go up with my Dad and brother to the matches, for the Crewe match my Mother also went. The only other matches she has gone to is Man United and Chelsea in the cup, would she have went if it was £20-25 a ticket for the Crewe match? No
Would she have went if there wasn't a massive hype for the game game and a chance of Wembley? No

It was a combination of price and the potential success that drew the crowd, I'd probably estimate the crowd would have been around 20-24k at full price.

Stereotyping to assume because I post in here that I don't attend games for real.

Andreas was stereotyping people's backgrounds based in their looks and cheaper tickets.

Fair point, I didnt mean to direct it quite so harshly, and apologise for that slant. I know you go to games as do I, obviously we both havent been to Sixfields.

I didnt read Andreas's comments as you have portrayed but can see where you are coming from, but then that's the beauty of the forum, or is it the beast, as we all see things differently.

It's been £9 for a lot of midweek games so why will we?

So the cup game was not sold out because it was Chelsea but the quarter final. So if we'd say played chesterfield in a quarter final you say it would be sold out?

A FA cup quarter final would sell out whoever we were playing. It was a virtual home end sell out against Middlesbrough in the 3rd round FFS.

What exactly is it that people are debating here? Of course lowering prices has a positive impact on crowds, but then so does success (or the prospect of it) - put the two together and you get a big crowd.

The last significant price offer in the Championship was against Reading (a tenner) the season before we went down and 22,000 turned up. No way that many would have turned up at full whack.

Don't get all the references to Burton in the JPT. It was the first round. People first have to want to actually see the game before they decide if the admission price is worth paying.

I think the mistake that you're making here is that they give a f*ck about the fans.

It's not just the travel - look at how they treated the PSL holders. SISU really don't care - where they can get a bit of free PR, bogus stadium plans, slagging off CCC/ACL on the radio etc., they're happy enough. Anything that costs them real money though, that's not going to happen.

It looks to me like they're going to batten down the hatches at Northampton - run the operation for as little as they can for as long as they can, in the hope that something might come of the JR. I wouldn't expect anything to benefit even the few that go to Sixfields to happen anytime soon, especially if it costs SISU money!

Surely the middlesborough reference is even less relevant. First season at the Ricoh in which we averaged over 21k anyway, middlesborough brought a big following. They were a PL club, we were a championship club with renewed optimism with 'operation premiership' and our new home.

Why not point the 6.5k that came to watch Arlesley in the 3rd round and Morecombe in the 4th round last season?

If they offered me 9 quid to attend I'd still tell them to stick it where the sun don't shine.

With you all the way on that SB4U just wish the shitfield few would stop attending so we can put a end to this farce .

What that if we were in a quarter final at the Ricoh we wouldn't sell out against lesser sides?


Sorry don't buy it just look at any club in the country that reach those stages.We like others just want a bit of success not asking for much surely.

But unlike other teams I believe we would give that up to be back home.

Will have a read in a bit. I can safely assume he is taking the ritual kicking, hence your enquiry.

Hopefully he will get a full term this time and I can genuinely judge him then
