[York Alty]

Barnsley ticket office indicating that they have now sold around 800 tickets in total.

so less than Grimsby and Tranmere and only marinally better than Chester. I wonder if the Barnsley forum is laughing at my comments now?

Yes they are. In fact Dickie Bird has called a public meeting at the Town Hall to discuss them.  He's in floods of tears.

So if Barnsley had agreed to play on Sunday it probably wouldn't have been made all-ticket and they may have brought more supporters. Another reason could be they have decided to stay at home and watch the match on a dodgy decoder. Either way Barnsley have cost us and themselves money from this cup-tie. They are not very bright in Barnsley are they?

Perhaps not, but the folk I have met from there are spot on.

I'd be very interested to know how the marketing has been outside of the club and its supporters and I cannot comprehend why it is cash only.......in 2015, I only pay cash for minor transactions or in the pub. I am actually irritated in some situations if the person before me holds me up my friggin around with cash. Cards are quick, contactless takes 3 seconds. If my local Asian shop can do this why the hell can't we?

Let's get 'em beaten and bank the prize money. Time to write a new chapter in our FA Cup history. Come on Alty!!

[Darren]

A blunt and straight talking Barnsley fan wakes up one morning with a sore anus, so he goes to the snack bar in the away end and says to the assistant, "Na then lad, has tha got any arse cream?"
"Certainly," replies the assistant. "Do you want Magnum or Cornetto?"

[wayno]

I said 2.5 k tickets and a 2 1 win I'm halfway there come on alty !!!!

I think their schedule of games made it so a Sunday match just wouldn't work at all. A Sunday match doesn't guarantee more fans either does it?

[Darren]

Just remember it was not the club's decision on all ticket they had to agree to the advice given.

Cards are so f**king crap that I'm going to stop taking them in the cab. Lost three fares this year because the card won't accept and the punter hasn't got money with them. Cash is king.

Where is the nearest cash machine to the ground? What do you do on a matchday when you might want to impulse buy something in the club shop or get some drinks in the csh and you dont have enough cash? You cant do it.  You can with a card.

Cards are so much more convenient and encourage spending. The issue for the club is probably the cost of getting the terminals and what it costs to process the payments. You often need a decent volume of card payments to make it viable.

[Mr Woolf]

My prediction is 2-1 Alty with Deasy being at his imperious best with a crowd of 2347

[Ballers]

I think on balance the club have done all they reasonably can once the police made the decision they wanted an all ticket match even though it probably didn't need to be.

We've sold tickets by cash, card and online. The club has been open til 7pm every night. There's been a league game and a well attended youth cup game.

It's been on social media, even had a decent evening news piece.

Ultimately, needless all ticket matches impinge on attendance but we're still going to get double our normal league crowd.

As I said a week ago, it's our first home fa cup game for 3 years. When we review it, we'can look at lots of things, how effective was social media, could we find other outlets like local sports clubs or pubs to sell tickets, could ticket be given to people on sale or return?

A lot probably not but it's for another time now. Let's enjoy the day, not worry about coulda should woulda sold more tickets.
