[Archived] F. A Cup

[Grabbi Graeme]

Draw taking place now, Villa and Burnley all ready been drawn out

Rovers Vs Bristol City

[philipl]

Overall, the best third round draw for interesting fixtures for quite some time.

Rovers got one of the very few fixtures on offer we can feel reasonably confident about and not be scared of a psychological scarring if we lose.

[Tom]

The crowd will be scarily small I imagine

Sub 5,000 unless they give tickets away

About 6,000 if tickets are given away.

Not concerned about the draw to be honest. its going to be a very small crowd at Ewood Park.

[Ben-2000]

Doubt they will open the Darwen End for this one, so I will not be there. Was awful sat down in silence when we had to re-locate elsewhere for the Sheff Wed game!

To be honest, i'm not really interested in the FA Cup at this stage, although I do usually attend them.

[Hughesy]

Bit of a poor draw, not a top team, and not even a minnow, abit boring.

Hope tickets are priced VERY cheap....REALLY wish the club would try FREE entry for Kids under 14

I think there is a minimum price clubs have to charge which is set by the FA for this competition...

What's the point, Shebby already said we are not interested in the FA Cup.

Did he?

[USABlue]

I read somewhere he had made a comment to that effect with promotion being the only interest

Can't necessarily argue with that.... if we were flying high in the league.

If this season quickly turns into a write-off, then a cup run might be our only solace.

Prices:

Season ticket holders - adult £15.00, Young Adult/Senior £9.00, Junior £4.00

Non ST holders - adult £20.00, Senior £12.00, Junior £5.00

[Tom]

No thanks

I know the clubs hands are tied but not paying more than a tenner for it

Not really Tom. I was looking up the rules of the competition as I was unsure...

"Immediately after the draw is known, the Club playing at home shall decide on the

prices of admission, subject to a minimum price of £10.00 for all spectators other than

concessions."

Prices:

Season ticket holders - adult £15.00, Young Adult/Senior £9.00, Junior £4.00

Non ST holders - adult £20.00, Senior £12.00, Junior £5.00

£20 !!!

Are they taking the Kean. Even £15 is bad enough.

It will be guess the gate.....what do you reckon: 3,000 perhaps?

[Ben-2000]

They could probably open half the JW upper and even that wouldn't be full.

Nobody in their right mind would pay £20.00 to watch that.

[ABBEY]

for the first time in my life i think its gonna be a no from me.

[Stuart]

Another opportunity missed by the club.

I like Hughsey's idea. Sadly the club aren't listening.

[majorstyre]

and its a no from me...!...

Bad enough at the moment turning up for league matches and being outclassed / outfought / outplayed / outwitted (delete as applicable)

but to see a second string get hammered for £15 aint on!!!

[Ste B]

As the club already give us cheap tickets then 15 quid is fairly reasonable. Also we have to consider both clubs have to agree on the pricing, and if no agreement can be made it ends up being the normal ticket price.

That's not the case Ste - the home club decides on the price. I thought the same as you but have been on the FA website and looked up the rules. The minimum they have to charge is £10.00 which I think would have been sensible considering our current situation.
