Re: Scum tickets on sale

I don't presume it'll affect many season ticket holders as they'll be Trust members, and I'd be very surprised if the Trust discount didn't apply to this match as well anyway (CAN SOMEONE FROM THE CLUB CONFIRM THIS ON THE OWS PLEASE - will ST Holders get a discount and does the Trust Discount apply, or will both be expected to pay full price?).
If the discounts DO apply I guess it'll affect so few people that those affected will be in the tiny minority - BUT, it will affect the Ploppy attendance in the same way as them charging us stupid money did previously for us (and them), many people said sod it, I'm not paying that. If discounts DON'T apply I wonder what the impact on the gate will be??
Hopefully we'll beat them and a replay won't be necessary - but being positive (and negative at the same time - clever that eh? ;) :? ), what happens in Rounds 1, 2, 3 etc (being super positive here) - I guess if we get that far people won't care what they're asked to pay.
For me this announcement of the price for the potential replay has signalled the club's intent to stick with this pricing policy in the FA Cup in future Rounds - thats why I'm having a little grumble now and not when/if the replay happens. I just think its a lost opportunity to try and tempt a few more people down to NP, IMO this replay should be priced at the same level as our opponents, £12 and you'd see more people there - this is a Qualifying Round afterall !!
I'm not moaning as such, just expressing an opinion - we'll beat the scum 0-2 anyway so it immaterial
, but if we draw a non-league side at NP in Round 1 and they charge £17 with no discounts, I expect a few others will be expressing their displeasure as well and demonstrating it by staying at home.
Still, these are just opinions - I guess KC has the balance sheet eh? If we do draw on Saturday and then pack NP with fans I'll be proved wrong won't I, I hope I am for the sake of the club?
