Fa Cup 3rd Round

[Westgate Wanderer]

How many fans went to the tottering stadium?

Can't remember but a bit of digging on the club website (https://www.morecambefc.com/news/2021/december/tottenham-hotspur-a-ticket-details/) came up with an allocation of 5,802. Season ticket holders also couldn't buy extra tickets until the general sale opened, but I think we all managed to get what we wanted on that occasion!

Edit: Looks like only the overall attendance of 40,310 was ever announced.

Cheers for that. 40,000 in attendance would do nicely!

Chelsea look shaky at the back but going forward they look as good as anyone

Great game in the Scottish Women's FA Cup 3rd Round at Westdyke.

They were entertaining Rangers Women, and it was ever such a close encounter.

The final result being 1-24 to Rangers. Westdyke were doing well until the interval, going into the rest period only 1-9 in arrears, but blew it in the 2nd Half.

I reckon The Shrimps will do a bit better than that.

I don’t! Can’t see us scoring tbh and no idea how many Chelsea will score?

[marky No.1]

Chelsea 1/18, 1/50 to qualify, us 28/1

Chelsea to win 7.0 only 10/1

[Redalert1970]

Our game at Chelsea is a category F game shed end for away fans is £34

Chelsea have a very strange pricing policy for away fans...

Category AA £30
Category A £30
Category B £30
Category. C £50
Category. D £45
Category. E £40
Category. F £34
Category. G £27

I'd like to think we can keep it a maximum of 5-0 BUT seeing how the Chelsea squad is that may be asking too much.

Barrow managed 5-0 so if we can do similar......happy times.

To even get close to a goal for us will be excellent but it depends on how DA sets up the team and who plays up front. For me I'd prefer Hope who may realise that this could be his last chance to star v Premiership opposition and will want to put everything into his game on the day.

The problem I see is fitness. They will run us ragged and the last 20 minutes could be the deciding factor.

As for away support can't see us having more that 2000 there, especially at the cost of transport and tickets although the cost for under 21's is more than reasonable at £17.

[Hodgie1978]

Are you serious?
So a child under the age of 10 has to pay £17 . This sort of pricing rules out families enjoying what should be the biggest Morecambe game in years.

[Redalert1970]

Your probably right Hodgie

2 adults and 2 kids would cost £102 plus food plus travel

Not much change from £250

[Redalert1970]

I have spent £131 for 2 nights in hotel so far and train from Euston to Blackpool £42

There will be additional costs on top of that including food, tube and match ticket

Going to cost me roughly £300

[Billy bodger]

Pricing out familles, 2adults 2children £102 then getting down there, food and drinks.

[JonCFC1]

Does anyone know if there is going to be transport put on similar to what we had for spurs, we had plenty of coaches for that.

[Redalert1970]

Sure the club / trust will be running coaches to the Chelsea game just like they did for the Tottenham game

[redrobo]

Must be me but pricing details for this little game seem to have vanished off the OWS. Surely children dodnt have to pay £21. If that is the xase then Chelsea are robbing our younger fans of going with the cost of getting there as well . Surely we have a say in pricing.

The pricing will be agreed by both clubs, not just Chelsea cashing in, just pocket change for them

[BerlinWaller]

Accrington have sorted out tickets and have enough coaches for all the fans going to Liverpool. They have even managed to group fans who create the atmosphere together in the stadium.

How are we getting on?

[Strangeways Shrimp]

Really can't see what the hold up is in getting tickets sorted. Again a lot of supporters will be attempting to buy tickets for family and friends who maybe don't attend that many games but want to be able to show there support in London. Hopefully the club can get the ticket situation sorted soon, as transport and hotels need booking.

[Redalert1970]

Surely it's up to Chelsea they will be sorting tickets out etc

Hope we get more than 3000 if they sell out

[BerlinWaller]

Why would it be up to Chelsea? They have told us how many they are giving us so it will be up to MFC to get them on sale. Our system for buying tickets is so poor, this could end up being a bit of a nightmare
