I think it's more the fact that it's just after Christmas and the Chelsea game is just a few days later. It's live on the BBC, in this instance, given the circumstances, I think the club should've reduced the prices. I priced it up for myself and 2 kids both under 12 and with the booking fees it was just shy of £60. It's a lot of money for a 3rd round tie that's live on TV and unfortunately there will be thousands of empty seats this evening.The pricing system has been fair in my opinion, you'd struggle to go watch Hartlepool for £20.
Excellent crowd considering the game v Chelsea on Tuesday and tonight’s game live on BBC.Attendance:
25,022.
Excellent crowd in the end and great atmosphere (despite the doom laden predictions).
Well done to the south stand lads.
