Mungo Bumpkin 0 Posted August 28, 2012 Just looked at the ticketing bit of the club''s website and there is "Good Availability" all round the ground. The turnout is going to be woeful.So, all those "massive fans" who constantly bleat about not being able to get tickets and campaining for the capacity to be increased to 80,000 - nows your big chance, put up or shut up. Tenner for adults, quid for kids. No excuse not to go. Cup game with all the thrills and spills that entails. Might get to see Tetty. Scunthorpe are bottom of League 1 so should be there for a thumping and we are due a cup run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted August 28, 2012 Well am going i always do but to be fair our cup record and performances for years have been dire and i dont really expect a lot different this time around. It may be different under Hughton, hope so i think winning is a habit and can help league form rather than detract from it. Expect virtually a different 11 tonight from saturday. Nice day so i still think we will get about 15000 which isnt bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted August 28, 2012 The club haven''t given people much reason to go to cup games. I''m going, and if we win the the turnout for the next game will be higher, just as it was against Lecister last season. If I were getting to the match at my normal time, rather than 5 seconds before kick off due to work I''d imagine there would be a huge line outside the ticket office, as there often is for games like this.

Branston Pickle 4,145 Posted August 28, 2012 Some will surely be put off by the dismal cup performances in recent years, so I''d not expect a big crowd, but we do usually manage more than most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 0 Posted August 28, 2012 The other issue that may put people off is that it will be like watching the reserves and you can go to reserve games cheaper than this.What would be good on arly cup rounds in the evening would be to have earlier kickoffs and make it a family night.

Mungo Bumpkin 0 Posted August 28, 2012 Irrespective of the team fielded, this is a competitive cup match. The result of this match, unlike reserve matches matters and will form part of the club''s historical record.The summer holidays are still ongoing, it''s not a school night so no reason for kids not attending.

lappinitup 629 Posted August 28, 2012 I reckon these early cup games should be set aside for all those screeching women and kids and leave leave the league games for us men! Until the semi-final that is....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
