A Load of Squit 5,246 Posted October 23, 2022 Which idiot made this rule? https://www.bracknellnews.co.uk/news/23063408.ipswich-town-travel-bracknell-town-tickets-date-confirmed/ This will be the biggest event since the club moved to Bottom Meadow, Sandurst, and will be shown around the country on ITV4. With prices increased by £10 on usual league matches, the club owner took to Twitter to explain the decision. He said: "Ticketing costing clarification this is reflective of us having to put the entire Ipswich team and staff up for the night in a hotel on the outskirts of London; we cannot do this on a £15 ticket! Stewards Policing etc, come at a massive cost to a small club like ours." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,874 Posted October 23, 2022 Poor old binners can't even afford to stay in a hotel for one night😪 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,669 Posted October 23, 2022 Did Paulton Rovers have to pay to put us in a hotel in 2009. I don't remember anything like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crafty Canary 511 Posted October 23, 2022 Even if it is a requirement for the FA Cup you would league clubs visiting non-league ones would reimburse them their costs. If the Binners don’t do it this would confirm what a tawdry little club they have become. I couldn’t imagine the Cobbold brothers not doing this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're all watching 👀 But I guess the local businesses that got ripped off through the binners administration may feel they still have a claim on any spare cash...

Maybe the Ipswich fans should do so given that they have recently been able to watch 3 home games for £45? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Hairy 3,806 Posted October 23, 2022 Disgusting club, but then no shock from the club that was happy to rip off St John's Ambulance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted October 23, 2022 Why have they got to stay in a hotel? Its about a 2 hour drive from Ipswich to Bracknell, They could be home by 1am. And they have all day to travel there before the game. What the hell is it coming to? And are Ipswich going to put their full team out? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,745 Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) It’s odd - Ipswich to Sandhurst is a little over 2 hours by road. Why on earth do they need a stopover? Edit - I was typing as Keelan posted, great minds and all that! Edited October 23, 2022 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Raptor 1,260 Posted October 23, 2022 How much say do the clubs have in terms of kick off times for TV games? And how is the cash dealt out? If it mainly goes to the home team could Ipswich have insisted on expenses for the late kick off as Bracknell were pocketing a wedge of TV money? Either way hope they embarrass themselves on TV!

Gatemen, medical, police, floodlighting & travel / accomm for visiting team are all standard expenses that eat into any profit.. Ten years ago the FAC tie between Norwich & Orient saw £191,000 gates receipts cut by roughly £40k in expenses & pool payment, leaving approx £150k to split between clubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
