Reserved Seats for FA Cup???

[SloughFlyer]

In previous seasons in the early rounds of the cup, season ticket holders seats in the main stand (and the other one?) have still been reserved, is this going to be the case this week?

I would expect the match day info will include details of seating arrangements for season ticket holders.

Interested to see if the £15 entry is kept or dropped for the game. Tricky one as I’m not sure they’d be a massive difference in attendance if we lowered it to £10. Whitehawk aren’t well supported so I wouldn’t expect many to travel so a crowd of 300-400 is my estimate.

That's probably the dilemma for the club. Would dropping the price bring in that many more punters to make up the difference.

Also tickets are now being sold in advance so there must be a few who have already bought tickets at the original price.

Would be difficult to change get the price now.

I'm concerned about the attendance as well Glen, I would agree 400 tops due to paying, seeing the reduced numbers thus far and the results (which casual fans will just see as opposed to what we know went on in the games). 

I hope I'm proved wrong on this one but it is showing a concerned trend after the lack of footie over the past 18 months that we haven't yet seen a "good" crowd at home. Fingers crossed a good FA cup run might entice some people back.

I forgot we now sell tickets in advance so obviously the price is staying the same as I just looked. Not sure £10 or £15 would have made much difference so it’s probably the right decision.

I’m actually surprised with the crowds considering so many other clubs appear to be enjoying a rise in attendances. I thought after the long delay in live action there would be a big hunger to attend but it seems it’s had a negative effect and either the casual fan has started watching other clubs, found other interests or some are still wary about attending ‘large’ events. Let’s hope Saturday is the start of a little cup run which will not only be a massive much needed financial boost but also put the club in the spotlight again and get some of those casuals back.
