Camuldonum 0 Posted October 26, 2009 [quote user="seby1991"]As much as I think it should be played there I cannot see it happening. There is no chance that police or the health and safety man will be happy with 2 turnstiles for 3000 people, no segreation and also if sky do decide to turn up where are they going to put all their equipment and huge lorries?[/quote] My bet re TV would be to take over most of the car parking spaces and build their own gantries.[;)] Or just get special dispensation from Avon and Somerset and park on the road.

Camuldonum 0 Posted October 26, 2009 The MINIMUM capacity to be offered to the away side is 15 per cent. Depending upon the capacity of the ground, and obviously on the number of home tickets sold, the away club has the right to ask for an increase to 25 per cent if the home allocation has not been fully sold and if the AWAY club has fully sold their allocation.IF the location is switched to Bath''s ground (capacity 9000) you could, if you want, ask for the minimum allocation to be increased.

hardley 0 Posted October 26, 2009 Match confirmed as being shown on Austar Setanta Sports pay channel in Australia. It will be the fourth time we have seen Norwich in a T/V Match downunder this season. More often than previously when they were in the Championship. Hopefully the good times will keep on coming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
city4eva 211 Posted October 26, 2009 [quote user="IOW Canary"]Very true. Money talks at that level. From a purely selfish point of view I''d prefer it to be staged at a different, local ground. Bristol Rovers or Ashton Gate. Atleast anyone who wants to go will be able to get a ticket. If it is at Paulton''s ground the only people likely to get tickets are a few hundred Club Cabbage regulars which will make for a poor atmosphere (not to mention embarrasing to look at on TV what with them all being NFN scarfers).[/quote] You mean the regulars who go to all away games? Not just pick and choose the best. The game should be at theur ground, that is what cup ties are about, especially as it looks like they will get TV money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,504 Posted October 26, 2009 What are the financial implications for Paulton if the game''s moved? Do they not get Sky money any more? Or is it reduced? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,321 Posted October 26, 2009 [quote user="ron obvious"]What are the financial implications for Paulton if the game''s moved? Do they not get Sky money any more? Or is it reduced?[/quote]They would presumably still get the sky money if the game is on sky. Financially I presuem it may also be better for them as they would geta bigger crowd and could offer us 2-3,000 tickets.I guess though that the game would probably be less attractive to sky and they would probably think they have less of a chance as the whole romance of the fa cup centres around us having to play at their little ground with the culture shock that would bring!

Irf it can be staged there then i very much hope it is. I am an AST holder (as are several of my mates) and none of us travel on cabbage. Fact is we go to every game and therefore deserve priority when games like this come along. In fact often the best away atmosphere''s are at game like Plymouth or the other far flung venues when only the hard core show up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
......and Smith must score. 1,343 Posted October 26, 2009 [quote user="ron obvious"]What are the financial implications for Paulton if the game''s moved? Do they not get Sky money any more? Or is it reduced?[/quote]I''d have thought the TV people might still be tempted to cover the game if it''s at Twerton Park but probably not at a ground any bigger. That said I don''t remember ever seeing a TV live match where there''s been a change of venue to accommodate a bigger crowd. I''ve a feeling the TV money is a six figure sum for the home team so providing Paulton can clear safety issues with the authorities my hunch is they''ll want to stage the game at Winterfield Rd. It''s strange to think that our visit will probably be the biggest occasion in Paulton Rovers entire existence, to date or in the future, so I''m sure they''ll be very keen to make it a really special day in the spotlight for all their unsung players and loyal supporters.

Matt Juler 152 Posted October 26, 2009 I fully agree with all the comments about who "deserves" to go if the game is played at Paulton''s ground. I''m in the first priority group after the AST holders. I''d love to go to the match if played at Paulton''s ground, but if it''s moved to one of the bigger Bristol grounds I really wouldn''t be that bothered. I''d much rather be in a ballot of 100 from 2,000 for a chance to go to Paulton than having a certain ticket at Ashton Gate, or wherever.My biggest concern at the moment is the post strike, just how would the club be able to process applications and send out tickets? No home game before then either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
