Funny thing is Bristol City, Rovers and Oxford are normally given more than 15% capacity in the league

Matches where we are never going to fill the home end really so makes sense to maximise away income - the last time we did sell out against one of those sides was against City almost 20 years ago (Fallon!) unless someone recalls otherwise.

Time to pop the "Five Dollar Shake"s on the menu for them while we are at it.

I take the view that £30 or even £35 to watch us play against the current premiership leaders in the 3rd round of the FA Cup isn't unreasonable, particularly compared to paying £23 to watch us play Harrogate in a league 2 fixture.
This game affords the club the opportunity to raise much needed funds to continue to pay debt down, deal with the Able problem if needed as well as carrying out much needed renovation works to Stratton Bank and invest in the playing squad in January. Surely as fans we can contribute an extra £5 or £10 each to help the cause.

Let's hope there's no replay as they will probably charge us £50!

Fair point but with Rovers only given us 700 this season I hope we don't give them 2500+

I hope we give them just the bank, and it pisses down. A tidy sum and pissed off gas. Win, win.

I don't think we can just give them the bank as I'm sure we have to give them a % under cover

I think crossed wires Batch, I said hope we don't get to play them in a replay as they will probably charge £50 which is a lot more than they will be paying down here then Robert suggested that would be the minimum staring pice at the ethiad

No, they charged Port Vale fans 10 quid. Happy days. I was pointing out the 50 quid usual price as it probably underlines why they may agree to higher prices than we usually charge away fans.
