Concord Rangers A 23rd Nov FA Trophy

[Irishadrian]

Do we know how many of our season tickets holders turnup/pay for cup games? If it's a lot then fine If not is there a case for allowing them to pay an amount similar to what they pay to attend league matches?

No, there’s no case for that because we need to charge everyone the same admission price given the profit is split.

OK thanks Matt My thinking was if people dont come and dont pay then half of nothing is nothing.

Didn’t realise the gates are split in the trophy. Can we afford that new league player from our share of Saturday’s gate?

Would have been nice to maybe play a new team .

Don't care if we get through or not now....

So you don't want to win the replay tomorrow night to then have the chance of getting to the second round and maybe play a new team?

These attendances just reinforces my prediction tomorrow night. There’s less interest in these early rounds against unattractive opposition. The weather will have a big effect too and with CL footy on it just impacts it even more! If we get above 550 I’d consider that good!

Agree, anything over 500 will be an excellent turnout.

I'm just a grumpy old sod disappointed by another away tie at a fellow league team!!

In F A competitions opposing clubs have to agree admission prices for their matches and any potential replays.

Also applied to county cups I  assume it still does

We've drawn at Maidstone & won at Dartford this season...... so is it that bad a draw??

Dartford are at home in their replay, and if I had a choice I would rather have to go there for a result than to Maidstone.

Agree, if we were to get through I'd rather play Dartford than be herded into a corner at Maidstone.

I think reaching 300 might be a struggle on a damp evening with only 201 at Saturday's match. Whether or not I have the time to go will be my issue, rather than having to pay the £9 admission.

Currently, anything from Home to Barnet to Away to Yate Town await the winner! 

Well, I was the only one pessimistic enough to suggest the crowd might be below 300. Didn't come myself as damp weather has got at me. It's Maidstone United v Concord Rangers in the 1st. Round Proper.
