To be fair there are plenty crap home turnouts all around the country on 3rd round day. No sparkle in the early rounds of the cup for most average clubs often even when a big club rolls up. If tickets are cheap we'll get the usual 12k homers hopefully more. If they are top whack it'll be about 8/9k plus the City fans and i doubt they'd sell out at a top whack price. I expect the idiots to price it at Cat A or A+ in the hope of squeezing it out of seven thousand Mancs.

Aguero vs Scott Dann

Yaya Toure vs Jason Lowe

Kompany vs Rhodes and Gestede

David Silva vs Lee Williamson

Going to hide behind the sofa for this one I reckon.

Since when do teams still in the Champions League play their top players against a team from a division below in the 3rd round of the FA Cup? :blink:

So Rovers v City Reserves, on TV and just after Christmas and after three home games and a short trip to Leeds in a matter of three weeks. Unless it's £5 a ticket I really can't see Rovers selling many tickets.

Rovers will see £ signs, pb. City usually have a massive following, especially locally. At £20 each they will see that as cheap to watch their team give someone a whooping.

Maybe the club will offer season ticket holders a discount, say a tenner. City won't rest everyone. It'll be a work out for their squad, with a string bench, in a competition they will want to win.

I cannot see it being 12k cheap ticket or 8/9k top wack price tickets for home fans Tomphil.

More like 5k max whether cheap or top wack unfortunately.

This will be a mega embarrassment.

Yes but if it's cheap then a few will crawl out of the woodwork for this no doubt. Don't forget there are thousands who have thrown the towel in for the simple reason we ain't in the Prem and they only like watching big sides. Plus a few neutrals and plastic east lancs city fans may creap it up a bit.

Why? The bloody ST's are a give away as it is.... they should give discounts to regulars who are non ST holders. If rovers cannot get a decent turn out for this then they are playing in thewrong Division.... and I dont mean the Premier League either!

I warned this type of stuff would happen half a dozen years ago.

Even if it's £20 or so, even despite it being on TV, we can't grumble. As Theno rightly says, we've been spoilt with cheap tickets for years, unfeasibly cheap as well in this league, but that's another story!!!

Buy a season ticket then. Or a half season ticket.

Walk-ons have made the choice not to take advantage of cheap tickets. Plus, a lot of folks have abandoned ship altogether. They'd be straight on the bandwagon for this one.

The long suffering loyal/stupid who have stuck around, putting their cash into the pot, should get the rewards. But I'll meet you halfway. Include those fans who have been to over 50% of games this season.

Excluding freebie tickets.

I'm guessing £28

Sub-5000 it is then.

They really need to utilise this game to bring back some of the stay aways. Make it tenner a ticket, try and fill the ground and hopefully get some bandwagoners/stayaways back in the rovers routine maybe.

There will be nothing in the budgeting forecasts for games like this so use it accodingly and dont think about the short term ££

They're not staying away because of price.

Never said they were, but some will be tempted back with it being city. That temptation wont be helped with a £28 ticket, but for a tenner they might just say kean it and head back to ewood

Tend to agree. I'm the first to pour scorn on the ones who only turn up for big/cheap games (genuine boycotters aside) when the rest of us stick with it but it would be nice to see a decent crowd and atmosphere for once. Playing City is nowt new to us but as time goes on we may well be praying for games like this to come around. Although if it's cheap we also run the risk of City fans all over the gaff lol

If they're staying away because they won't support what Venky's are doing in any way whatsoever, and they don't recognise the club as the one they've supported any more, a prospective battering from City's second string won't tempt them back, no matter what the ticket price. There are some fans like that.
