Re: The FA Cup banana skins....
I'm pretty certain keeping the prices at the usual is the best move. The crowd would have to be fantastic to get the same monies for £5 and £1. Let's hope everyone playing at home is a winner!

Dropping the prices would have attracted a few more, but the loss in income would have been considerable.

How many actually stay behind, really... I mean, also, I doubt the Rugby lot are packing the place out. I suspect if people are still buying drinks, they'll be happy to have them.

Downstairs bar is normally clear by 6 and players tend to eat & drink upstairs. Last home game a few decided to head straight into town as there was no football on tv (International weekend)

Perhaps "we" should be making suggestions like this via our board members/supporter rep?

Other team manage it.. I know it's not as easy as it sounds , I'm sure there 50 or so fans wouldn't of minded a couple quid cheaper, open the away turnstiles charge them £12 they are still getting a good percentage of the gate receipts...divas wrote:Not as easy as that.
