How many of you are going to spend £12 / £14 of your hard earned cash to watch the match tomorrow, in the light of present form?
-
I wil if I can make it.
-
If money was no issue and I could physically get to the game I would be there.
Looks like I'll be watching Chelsea on the box instead. :(
-
without a second thought, i'll be there showing my support of the TEAM
-
I'll pay 12 pounds to watc the first 25 minutes to show my support for the team AND MANAGER.
Beat that one!
-
If I did live in Altrincham....
a) I wouldn't go as £12 for a local county cup game is rediculous
b) I don't think it will be taken seriously, in that I mean GH will not play what he considers is best 11 available

It is scandalous on the Cheshire FAs part.
A shame really as these kind of games, if a fiver to get in could get a few people down. Not loads obviously but nice for a cheap night for the kids at a relatively competitive football game rather than friemdlies etc.

take it you still have to pay witha season ticket like with FA cup etc...?

Hi guys, me with Devils Advocate hat on again.
Let's put ourselves in the position of a Club who play say at Vodkat League Level and don't have much money.
They draw Alty away and for them it really is their cup final as they can't see themselves progressing past the mighty Robins....however it's a chance for the players to play on a decent pitch and for the fans to see what this 'Blue Square Premier' is all about as well as putting a few bob in the coffers.
Then we say "sorry guys this is really a bit of a pants competition so we'll drop the entry price to a fiver because our fans aren't that interested"
Now let's ay, for arguments sake we draw Newcastle United in the FA Cup, think 'Great here we are in for a cut of 56,000 people paying (for arguments sake) £35 each then they say - "Sorry, you're only a Conference side and you aren't gonna give us much of a game and our fans can't be arsed so we're only gonna charge a tenner"
We would be incandescent with justifiable rage wouldn't we?

i thought it was in the rules that we had to play our first two games in the CSC at witton ;)

See what you are saying Phil but what if Newcastle said that at £35, we'll get 20,000 in....but at £20 for everyone we'll fill the ground and have an amazing atmosphere as well.
I hope Vauxhall haven't made t00 many plans on the cash from a 184 gate.

Great 37 quid to get down there and watch them play sh*t on saturday and four days later i've got to pay top dollar to get in a meanless game. Is Gramham Barrow having a third game as trialist manager at least he'll keep his eyes on the pitch and give a toss bought what were doing
-
Is the banner coming out tonight? ???
-
city fans are getting to see UEFA CUP football for a tenner next week. i rest my case.

very funny no leave it now your getting boring

The same argument was made my Mike Connett when Sunderland dropped the prices.
You could immediatly see that at £10 per head x 20,000 fans had the same revenue as 10,000 @£20 per head.
But the incidental sales were higher on the 20k obviously.
If it's that big a game for vauxhall surely they'll pay whatever to see our conference stadium and bring a few coaches down maybe.
Fact is it's a rubbishy competition no-one wants to watch which will be reflected by the market forces led attendance...demand and supply.
-
sorry vauxhall bring 13 fans,
we have 113 fans.
how is it fair to split it down the middle?
-
it might just cover the electricity bill for turning the flood lights on?
-

so if we got an FA Cup draw away at Old Trafford, you'd be campaigning for us to get a share of the gate in proportion to our share of the crowd ?

i'm not sure, but we'd probly take more than 13 to old trafford. and its a game united would really want to win in a competition that means something.

"Is Gramham Barrow having a third game as trialist manager at least he'll keep his eyes on the pitch and give a toss bought what were doing"
To be fair to Graham, the one thing you can't say about him is that he doesn't care. And he has always had banter with the fans, including the years in the rubbish league when we were getting promoted (I remember v. Runcorn he said to two girls giving stick, "do you have to stand there?" the reply - "Yes"). He has also done a lot of touchline coaching, in the past and now. He doesn't miss much.
-
Disgusting price. If I lived in Alty I wouldn't pay that, never mind with the travel expenses involved.
I do find it odd that the County FA have the right to tell clubs what to charge. Alty aren't going to sell tickets at a price that will involve them taking less money for f**k's sake. 500 crowd at a fiver is £2,500. 100 crowd at 12 quid is £1,200. The two clubs should ask the FA for compensation if it's a rubbish crowd in my opinion.

There is "banter" and there is foul mouthed abuse and threats, especially to Alty fans at Moss Lane.Why can you see no wrong in this man? >:( >:(

Get in the real world...........if the ticket price was £5 the attendance for a CSC cup game would be no more than 200 people.......which equates to a loss when measured against 100 people at £12.

how much is it for u16?
