Yes I agree. Absolute poor PR by the club if we all pay full price. I am expecting to show my ticket for today's game and be charged less on Tuesday :evil: :roll:

Jesus here we go already about poor PR..... :evil: :evil: :evil:

It's not up to the club about reducing the entry price is it?

£10 sounds about right to me, but if i have to pay the full price...so be it.

That's fine when you're only paying for one, not so when 3 adults are concerned.

About £3.50 is right for adults & maybe £1.00 for kids with a ticket from todays game
& £8.00 for adults & £ 2.50 for kids who don't have a ticket
I'm sure that would attract a bigger gate than 2000

If it was a league game, would you be there?

I fully appreciate the cost for a family, but let's wait until the club confirm the price....... :?: :?: :?:

Sorry can 't agree with the £8 & £2.50.

For me it has to be £10 minimum.

I think it is fair enough - the club will have to fork out exactly the same expenses on Tuesday as they have done today, for staff and player wages and all the other ancillary costs associated with a home match.

Does this mean that the players will get paid twice?

Off course it's bad PR, If other clubs are charging a quid and we are charging full whack, which club looks a xxxx. AND according to FA regs. it is up to the club what they charge.

I thought your end behind the goal was nearly full (what I could see of it) I thought there must have been 2500 at least.

Dearest Nerso,
I must apologise to you and your noble gentlemen acquaintances for offering you such poor weather on your visit today to our humble northern town, but I sincerely hope that you can find it within yourself to return one day (or even next Tuesday) and I would be willing to pay the cost of your entry to our ground as I feel strongly that you and your friends must have borne considerable expense with this unfortunate postponement.
Thankyou for attending today and the very best of luck in your future league games this season.

Morecambe could have snow, tornado and a big earth quake for all I care. I won't be attending.

It's one thing saying you won't/can't attend on SVs it's another thing to actually not go. Do you all really mean it or is this just a talking shop?? :roll: :roll:
