Royston Town

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Really looking forward to this game, should be a cracker

 

Will it be £12 to get in and will it be segregated?

[Laz]

More likely about £5 according to my source, but nothing has been announced yet.

 

Obviously, it will be segregated as Royston have a bit of a bad reputation on their travels.

[Rob_the_Saint]

That's a shame, I was looking forward to standing at the Hatfield Road end for a change. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

Season ticket holders in for free?

[Laz]

Not sure about season ticket holders.

 

I believe the "bloke who.." is discussing it with Gibbo.

 

I can't see too many Royston making the trip.

 

I suggest we go for +-1 for the crowd prediction.

[AFF]

"Season ticket holders in for free"?

 

Season ticket holders don't get anything 'for free' Rob. They have paid for their season tickets.

 

Perhaps those who paid extra for a season ticket to enable them to sit in the main stand should be allowed in to the Royston game without charge as, no one else in the ground appears to have to pay extra on the day. [i didn't phrase that very well but I am busy today and don't have time to re-draft it. You know what I mean anyway.]

[Webbo MFI]

AFF

 

are you implying that, if one wished, they could stroll into the stand free of charge? What about the stewards..

 

Oh and save even more money by being an away fan and walk in for free!

[AFF]

{Sigh]. Webbo. Season ticket holders do not "stroll into the ground free of charge". They purchased season tickets at the start of the season to enable them to gain entry to the ground without paying at the turnstile on the day. There were two prices for season tickets, a "Ground" season ticket at around £225 and a "Main Stand season ticket at around £250 or so. The higher price reflected that there was to be an adsmission price to the main stand of £2 on the day or something along those lines.

 

Don't tell anyone else Webbo - or everyone may try it - but there were no operatives collecting the £2 last Saturday.

[Rob_the_Saint]

Ah, but surely the ST only covers League games plus a 'biggie' friendly of your own choice?

 

Also, I fully intend to ask for a refund at the end of the season for those games where I feel we have underperformed and not given full entertainment value for money. Only fair etc...

[Laz]

I thought Grays gave good value for money on Saturday.

 

I'm not sure you can ask for your money back after a game with six goals.

[AFF]

Hi Rob.

 

My "biggie" friendly was going to be North Greenford United but then I realised that we were playing away at their place.

 

I opted for the visit of "Neil Warnock's Premiership Newcomers, Sheffield United". Now that was a BIGGIE. Especially Neil Shipperly. He is a real biggie.

 

On the subject of refunds, Rob, did you go to the boardroom after the York City game and offer Gibbo a couple of quid extra as the second half was a cracker?

[Rob_the_Saint]

I thought it was a superb exhibition of counter-attacking football, AFF, and well worth the £12 (if I'd paid it).

 

Unfortunately, I had to leave after the fifth goal went in, as too much excitement is bad for me. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

[MarkCol]

What kind of team will Lippiat play for this game?

[AFF]

I think that it's Mister Lippiatt to you, MarkCol.

 

A blend of players from the midweek youth and the Reserves sides at a guess, Mark. And me at number 6.

[MarkCol]

Why you at no 6?

[AFF]

Because I've got the Number 6 shirt, Mark.

 

That, and I have a modest talent with the oval-shaped ball. It can't be much different from the funny shaped one.

[MarkCol]

There might already be a number 6 on the pitch though.

[AFF]

That No 6 shirt was 'retired' when Ben Lewis left the club, Mark, so there's no chance of another one being out there.

 

Well, the Royston Number 6 will wear their No. 6 shirt, of course.

[MarkCol]

What about Walshe?

[AFF]

He'll probably take the No 11 shirt, I should think.

 

'Wilde' to 'Walshe' wont take long with the magic marker.

What about for the Forest Green game ?

Walshe has taken the No6 shirt !
