Carling Cup Prices and seating

[MarkM]

Just recieved notification that the upper Trinity will be closed again for the Bolton match..

"In the interests of providing a greater atmosphere pitch-side and to allow supporters to get behind the team more vocally..."

Or translated...

"We are expected a low attendance and want to save cash by not opening parts of the ground that will be pretty empty..."

Prices are starting at £5 for adults and £5 kids

Thats a good price if you ask me takes me back to the late 80's early 90's pricing perhaps we should dress and have the music to match that price period!

A fiver i'm there.

I just had a brainwave. Something that would be very positive for the game would be a 'gesture' from players. It won't happen, but imagine if all first team players in the league took a voluntary five or ten % pay cut to show solidarity with fans during the hard times?

The money saved by clubs could be pumped into lower prices etc. It must be one of the few sectors where wages are going up at this time? What makes them so special?

[UsualSuspect]

A fiver is bang on.

We have to have a full strength team out for this.

Just gutted out CC games are on a Tuesday as its the one day of the week i can't do

Shame we got drawn against Bolton though. They will no doubt be up for it, so we will have to have first teamers on the pitch to ensure we win this. That's a risk as we can't really afford injuries with the squad the size it is.

I can't see us letting this game go by using reserves as we will need this cup run to drum up enthusiasm for the season.

Hopefully the low ticket price will ensure a decent attendance and will encourage the team on.

Didn't Inter Milan's players do this back when Ronaldo played for them?

Let's hope we can sing 'Hi Ho Aston Villa' at the end of the match!

I wasn't aware of that greenwhichvilla. It'd be a nice gesture in my view. And if there's a precedent all the better.

We sit in Lower Trinity and our tickets are £15.00.

I don't think they've got prices right for this at all.

Agree with that 10 quid for the Doug and Trinity 5 everywhere else

[Pete3206]

£15 for my seat as well. Think I'll be moving to a £5 seat for this one. Why such a price hike of £10?

[Percy McCarthy]
