I see from the Worcester local newspaper that they have an allocation of 3,600 tickets for Sunday and that by the end of play yesterday (Thursday) they had sold 1,700. They will have obviously sold more today and they also have a pay on the day option available to them. Got our tickets and just hope we have a good pay on the day crowd. Just hope there will be turnstiles open for pre paids and not the free for all like there was to get in against Exeter.

Worcester were always going to bring 2000+. Large town, not too far away, and a big day out for them. As it stands more tickets have been sold for the JPT game, but they'll be a decent enough walk-up I imagine. About 7K all told at a guess.

Yeah, I know, but that wouldn't have made the point I was making quite as well..."small city, not too far away.."

Suspect they will bring around 2,700 as most fans who were up for it would have purchased early..

Reckon there could only be maybe 7,000-8,000 in total, so we are probably going to be outsung.

Hard one to call, as it's a Sunday and only £10. Maybe a few who aren't regulars will come along for a change.

I have moaned about this before but the pricing is wrong this game should be no more than £5 I am not bothering tomorrow but will be going on Wednesday and then looking forward to Notts County as I missed the Peterboro game. I will be shocked if there are many more than 6k.

Surely a tenner isn't a bad price?

To watch a load of part time players and there side won't be much good either!

Don't see how it is £5 in the JPT against a league team but £10 against this lot.

It's a great price and possible a high win game makes this a good afternoon out.
If you can't make this because of the price only then your CCFC fan credentials need to be reviewed.

Hmmm Can't make it myself.

It's the FA Cup, 1987 will always resonate with many of us as one of the best days in our lives. It's going to be a nice day tomorrow as well and after the last two rainy days people will look for an excuse to go out surely. £10 is a decent price in reality, it costs a few quid to put a game on like this in terms of staff and police etc. If we can get over 7000 for a JPT game on an evening then we can top 10,000 for the FA Cup on a bright sunny Sunday !?

To go and see one of Worcester's home games would be £13.

I don't care if it's Worcester or West Ham. I go up because I want to watch the Sky Blues play. £10 is an excellent price. Bought my tickets for both Worcester and Plymouth yesterday and £15 for two matches is fantastic value to my mind.


Looking like I'll be able to stretch my legs and arms across several seats again. C'est la vie. Less queues for the toilet, easier to get out at the end and more space to park my car.

Correct. I'd say the attendance wouldn't be much higher if it was a fiver. 30 grand will be a massive pay day for a club of that size. Hopefully they have a good day out despite a loss (not saying we'll definitely win btw, just what I'd like to see).

Have to agree for the next 2 home cup games then £15 is £7 less than 1 league game so this is excellent value and hopefully 2 wins in the process though would take a draw against Worcester as we need the money from a replay.

I think the next league game they have a family deal, 2 adults + children for £30 I think. Then for the fleetwood match in December it's £10 for anyone.

At least the club seem to be recognising the issue. It isn't going to happen overnight its going to take a whils for the fans to come back so hopefully the club keep up there current work and don't give up if it hasn't happened quickly enough for them

This shows everything that is wrong with modern football overpriced I wouldn't walk to the bottom of my garden to watch football at that level.

Why didn't you say that first instead of going on about the price and watching a bunch of part timers then?

Qualifying Competition
Immediately after the draw is known, the two Clubs concerned must mutually agree
the prices of admission subject to the following conditions.
Except where mutually agreed otherwise the minimum admission (except to children
and senior citizens) to matches shall be:
 In the Extra-Preliminary, Preliminary and First Round Qualifying: £3.00
 In the Second and Third Rounds Qualifying: £5.00
 In the Fourth Round Qualifying: £6.00
A higher admission charge may be mutually agreed between the Clubs concerned.
The away Club’s spectators can only be charged more than the home Club’s
spectators if agreed by both Clubs.
The price of admission for children and senior citizens must be mutually agreed
between the Clubs concerned.

As you can above they set a minimum price and it's £3 for this round.

It is overpriced I would have probably made an effort to go. But please don't worry I won't jump on the ban wagon if we get to round 3 and get a big tie.

I will be.
I've got absolutely no interest in the early rounds of the cup at all, never have. No chance I'm going to this. But if we progress, whether we get a big team or not, I'll go to the later rounds.

All aboard the bandwagon.

And before people have a pop, at least I'm being honest and not hiding behind 'busy' or 'price'
