Lewis Esquire 0 Posted January 7, 2015 Somebody I work with is going to watch her team, Southampton take on Ipswich in the replayed FA Cup match. How much do you reckon City would demand from us fans to watch that game (obviously if it were us and not Ipswich)? A game in which two forms teams come face to face in what is expected to be an excellent game of football - i''m half tempted to get a ticket myself at £10 for an adult ticket! I reckon McNally and co would want £25 if we were taking on Southampton in place of ITFC.I know its an evening fixture and the attendance might not be great as Southampton is way down south, but come on, ten-quid! I might even go yet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,635 Posted January 7, 2015 I imagine it wouldn''t be a big charge if it had been us - seem to recall last season was £10 adults and £1 kids? The FA cup early rounds will always be heavily discounted these days, but it does need agreement of both sides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellow 63 23 Posted January 7, 2015 Even if it was 10p to get in i wouldn''t step foot in that dump Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewis Esquire 0 Posted January 7, 2015 If you look at football, from the point of it being an entertaining game, and not an obsessive need to hate your nearest rivals, then I guess 10p is a bit much for you. But from the neutral footballing point of view, I think it''d be worth a watch. I still think McNally and co would charge £20+, it may have been £10 against a smaller team like Luton (for example), but against a form Premier League team he''d definitely up the price.
