quote="Hillsborough Lad"]I didn't bother with the Eagles game We played Barrow in the league a few weeks ago and won by around 30 without even playing very well. I knew we'd win easily, and for me it's a five week month so cash is a bit tight. Save money for the later rounds.

I actually hope we don't win the NRC i'm starting to worry about Halifaxjohn.[/quote]

Quote Hillsborough Lad I actually hope we don't win the NRC,

And there you go then, proves my point. Presumably you are quite happy to pay far more to watch a sheite team in the winter but not as keen to watch a very successful side. Just like most of the sporting population in Sheffield.

P.s no need to worry about me Wednesday lad,

Sorry missed this bit Hillsborough Lad is saving money for future rounds but hopes they don't win the cup.

Actually John as you're so interested, I went to watch Sheffield Wednesday twice this season, and both of those were free tickets. You won't catch me paying £28 to watch lower league football.

I am keen to watch a successful side but i'd rather not do so whilst living on the streets.

Knock out games never get great gates. As soon as it goes to an all pay gate it puts people off. And there's always the suggestion of foul play when it comes to announcing a gate too when it's shared.

One of the reasons I suggested "flexi tickets" last year was to tackle the problem of all-pay gates and this belief that season-ticket holders won't get their wallets out for all pay games. Nobody liked the idea but nobody's come up with an alternative. Meanwhile, we stagger along selling what clubs want to sell instead of what customers want to buy.

I was amazed the tickets were £15 for a game we were going to win easily (no disrespect to Barrow) in a competition we notoriously haven't taken seriously in the past. Was always going to be a shockingly low crowd. Would've been better off having 1000 people in at a fiver a pop than 400 at £15.

Would be disappointed if the crowd is not 1200ish on Friday.
