I don't see what your point is Otis. It was Burton is the first round of the JPT - fiver or not, people were never going to flock to that.
It was a fiver against Sheff Utd and Preston - and the crowds grew as we progressed, culminating in a full house - also for a fiver.
Just because setting prices low doesn't guarantee a massive turnout doesn't mean they shouldn't do it, of course they should. Cup games, especially the JPT (which doesn't really mean anything until the area final stage), are a bonus and are the perfect opportunity to set prices low to encourage a few people in who might not otherwise bother. The thing I remember about that run more than anything was how many kids were in the ground for those games. That's a good thing.
It's the only cup that this club could realistically win at the moment and bag a few quid in the process. I went to all the home matches last time at the Ricoh and I'll go to this game for a night out !
Fantastic draw! I wanted Exeter home/away from the offset, I hope the Club make the effort with the prices, being a Tuesday/Wednesday night attendances might drop but if we can get 7,500+ that would be good!
