I won't be attending, but why choose a match where there will be 6k-7k opposition fans, instead of more of our own support?

With an added dose of consumption to really recreate that Victorian atmosphere.

Because we’ve only sold 7k seats ourselves?, it is somewhat perplexing as decisions go.

I can't see what the problem is. The second match of our 151st year is a perfectly logical time to celebrate.

I really have wanted to give Heck the benefit of the doubt.
To accept that we are seeing the club move away from the corner shop mentality of Doug, from the plaything mentality of Lerner and Xia , and into a world we were are run professionally. Where we want to play with the big boys, and where we can command our rightful place at the top of the tree.

But now, I have to accept that he is actually a money grabbing, opportunistic, ruthless operator who cares nothing about the loyalty and longevity of the fan base, but is only interested in one thing.
The bottom line.

He has alienated so much of the fan base, but to be totally oblivious to the implications, the frustration and the anger he is causing, goes beyond the pale.

To now resort to what is, in effect, blackmail to sell tickets, is odious and unforgivable.

And for the record, no. I’m not going.
Only about the 5th home game in over 45 years I will have missed, but, they chose to displace me, so fuck it.

As logical as the first match of our 151st year, being played in front of a full house at 3pm on a Saturday?

So to celebrate our 150th anniversary you have to pay £20/£25 extra to your season ticket cost.

Hopefully someone has a word with Unai and tells him it’s time to respect the FA Cup…it’ll be a damp squib if we get blasted 3-0 with Clownfeet in goal

Sadly you won’t get the opportunity until the overpriced GA+ seats have sold.
Doubt that Heck will be announcing the meagre attendance.
