As someone has already said, this is a dull fixture. Eastwood Town at home, 2 weeks before Christmas doesn't fill me with huge excitement. Season tickets are not valid for trophy or cup games, so the only way to entice fans through the turnstiles is to reduce the prices IMO.
£10 adults and £5 concessions/under 8 would be acceptable.

As mentioned on other threads, reducing the prices does not bring in any extra support. The club has made its bed and should not employ double standards, it should keep the pricing the same as the FA Cup match.
Attendance will be 600 tops I reckon in either scenario

Given that the attendence may be lower than usual why not contact a lot of schools in Rushden, Irthlingborough, Higham and Wellingborough and offer them a large number of free tickets? We've got nothing to lose at the end of the day and may be able to gain in the long term since it is possible people may come if all they have to do is get to the ground.

Plus I believe we're the only team in the county and in the wider area playing at home on that day. Let's take advantage and get a bit of PR and hopefully make a few more fans.

Just had a quick look at their website and the BSN table. They've played 15 games this season and not had a single draw! 5 wins and 10 defeats does sound encouraging for us, but this is cup football.....
