FA Cup 3rd Round - ManUre (A) Monday 10.1.22 7.55pm KO

[Drummond]

At least it's only £30. Can only assume that we negotiated that to take the lower allocation.

We did. They wanted to charge more, we wanted £30, they said to do that we had to settle for 3,000. It is, to all intents, a fucking disgrace.

Utter farce. I can't believe it's allowed.

Who are we playing again?

Obviously. But still, it's utterly ridiculous. Twenty's Plenty is a good initiative that should be part of all competitions and fixtures.

I’m sure the “Fernando Torres of Finance” will have an update for us soon enough as to why he agreed to this. I like the fact they’ve tried to keep the cost reasonable but that’s now at the expense of those of us who can’t get tickets for away games and would have gone to this one as we’d get an increased allocation.

Exactly. I'm in Alty over Xmas/New Year and thought I might get the chance to see a game. I can probably arrange tickets in the home end but can't promise not celebrating our winning goal. Even if I didn't I'd probably stick out as the only person not filming the game on my phone.

If it does go to a replay , I hope we give them a similar allocation . Giving them the whole of the North Stand would be a massive kick in the guts.

Surely that should work the other way, say £30 per ticket, but only if you take 6000?

[dave.woodhall]

I would guess that they don't want 10,000 of us there, they know we'd complain about the price, they'll sell tickets at £46 to their own supporters regardless so they've made sure we accept the bare minimum.

For the match we're getting 4% of the capacity, so if there's a replay, they get 4% of VP, which is approx 1,700.

That's what I'd do and the same when we draw them at home in the 3rd round next season.

[dave.woodhall]

You know, we all know, that would never happen.

So no chance then of taking another allocation once the 3048 are sold ? As my 2 sons and I live between 4 and 20 miles away, we were really keen to get tickets for this one

[astonvilla82]

Friend a Man Utd season tickets holder,he paying 37 pounds for Stretford End, he can't go because of work and still getting charged regardless

£30 is the cap for Premier League away ticket prices so they’re hardly doing us any favours.

We’ve gone from taking potentially 10-12,000 fans on a Saturday afternoon to having 3000 on a Monday night. What a piss take.

[john2710]

I suspect there won't be anyone in the ground by the time the game comes around.

[Pat Mustard]

In one way I'm pleased about this - after a few years of being generally shite and having a bit of the arrogance knocked out of them, I had ever so slightly started to mellow on this lot.  Then they come along and remind you just why they are absolutely the biggest bunch of cnuts in football.

And they sit there pontificating on where the magic of the cup has gone.
