Exactly but it seems even that rule is the clubs fault for making season ticket holders pay!
They will actually be vastly reduced for this game as opposed to a league fixture with a great hospitality deal available too. Hopefully people will make an effort and get behind the lads as a cup run has so many benefits.

Has this hospitality offer been publicised ?

On Facebook now:

*Season Tickets are not valid for this game and Upper Grandstand Seating is only available to those purchasing Hospitality.
*Hospitality is available at £30 which includes a Two Course Carvery & Dessert, Programme & an Upper Grandstand Seat Ticket.

Price seems reasonable enough for what it is but not sure why I should need to buy hospitality to sit in my normal seat.

It's a cup game, the season tickets and seat reservations are not valid. It's pretty standard anywhere you go in soccer or rugby.

It's a chance for the club to offer a different experience to some people at what is a great price for 2 course meal and match ticket plus extras.

And adult entry price £15 which should keep folk happy

York in CC then 2 weeks later in the league with fev in between going to be a good indicator of what challenge we are going to pose for the season.
Not sure what the enthusiasm is for the CC for amateur and NL1 getting to later rounds is important, for us and likes of York is it a distraction from the main aim!? With London's decision not to compete in the 1895cup I think so

Is season parking ticket not valid either then ?

I'm glad you feel that way, my group of three won't be going. Hopefully they will fill the upper tier seats, but I'd be surprised if they do, unless York fans decide to purchase the hospitality option

In recent years it has struck me that the clubs policy has been, not to bother with the Challenge Cup and make an exit at the first opportunity.

So we can expect to see the reserves keep up that fine tradition presumably?

I will check but I'm pretty sure they will be ok. If not you can use one of mine which are definitely valid for the game.

If you book hospitality I will even buy you a pint.

Hospitality seems a good deal- £30 for 2 course meal and ticket.
