Is this game free for season ticket holders? I ask only as it usually is for friendlies but it hasn't been mentioned.
I don't think it will be as season tickets are advertised as free entry to pre season friendlies so this might not count.
It's usually £7 for the pre season games so a fiver in seems fair enough and will provide a much needed boost to the coffers if we can get 300-400 in.
I could be wrong of course, I often am.
Mark,
Are you having a laugh. Apart from losing £4500 at Trafford and other potential income from the Cup, they have last year's FA Cup money, FA Cup TV money, Duncan Watmore money and other usual sources of income ( advertising/ season ticket sales etc.). I don't think they spent all that much in close season. Perhaps the Chairman, who is pretty quick at coming on here to ask for money, could come on here and tell us what has happened to the monies mentioned, or what he intends to do with them.
The players/management lost a football match, should we make sure that we hit "the club" in the pocket further just to really show them?
My guess is that if on Thursday "the club" offered a free friendly as an apology for going out of the cup it would have got a response of "a free friendly???
, we don't want an f'in free friendly, we want to be going to Corby"
The game was arranged for the team I would guess, you could come along if you want. Some did and quite enjoyed it, most didn't and did what they were planning to do anyway. No big deal either way.
Fiver seemed pretty fair to me.
As for the "we've got loads of money so don't need to fundraise" attitude, don't know where to start with that.
My worry is that if we have apathy or an attitude that is almost anti fund raising it will eventually send us back to the begging bowls anyway so you might be outraged every week when asked to help.
And yes my sleeping pattern is up the wall!
