They’ve shut the Kingsland Stand as that’s where the main TV cameras are.
Fill the rest of the ground so it doesn’t look so shit on TV.
Smoke and mirrors.
A goodwill gesture to Season Ticket holders or reduced prices and/or maybe bring a kid for a quid wouldn’t of hurt.
It’ll be 2 reserve teams as we know.
If we have reserves?
The team changes that much. |  |

Why is there a booking fee these days?? Everything is automated for ST so that should be waived |  | | |

Boring answer but it's to pay for the staff and running costs of things like the website and ticket office i'd imagine |  | | |

A boring accountant has also noted on here in the past that it's a bit of a VAT ruse, as the booking fee attracts no VAT.
The club therefore keep all of it.
They would actually be better off if they reduced the ticket price but increased the booking fee by an equivalent amount. |  |

For me, it's a different reason why I will not be there. I waited until the TV games were announced, no Saints game, so will be played Saturday!!!, Then later some fool decided to show it on BBC Wales. Too late, I had already made plans for the Sunday, so could not have gone even if it had been free, so that's 3 tickets lost. | | | |

Why is the low attendance supposed to down to the price?
I think the performances play a big part in that. |  | | |

Looks as though this game is taking the shape of a pseudo-boycott. Unannounced, unplanned, but hopefully just as effective in annoying the higher ups. |  | | |

£36.50 combined for ticket and train
And that's before going to the pub, which is usually the highlight of the day.
Love the FA Cup games but when it's that much and we are so sh1t, I struggle to justify spending that money.
But at least we have a multi-club model, a gulag, the dell bar and the 10 year plan, eh?!

2. Team are playing awfull have been for 6 months
3. Not one player makes you get of your seat in excitment anymore
4. Club Owners dont care about fans and have gone silent | | | |

Are you going to the Newcastle game? I’ve kindly been given a spare for that one, block 41 again - a row lower than previous. | | | |

We'll all be there for that one. It will be another 30,000+ gate, like all of our league games, because season tickets are sold out.
It's not only us. When Derby had their Premier League record lowest points total in 2007/08, they also had one of the highest average attendances in their history (32,000+), because their season tickets had sold out after the high of winning a play-off final at Wembley. [Post edited 9 Jan 11:10]

People seem to be missing the bigger picture re the Swansea game.
It could potentially represent very good value.
120 minutes plus the drama of a penalty shoot-out.
There should be an absolute clamour for tickets. | |

But 120mins would mean less time spent in the gulag so obviously that's a worse thing.
By losing by more than 3 in most of our home games the club can Pack The 'Lag earlier and make a killing on over priced kingfisher.
If you build it, they will come! | | | |

And the FA Cup is our main focus now as we have nothing else to play for, which is why teams often reach cup finals in their relegation seasons, as Wigan, Portsmouth, Brighton, Middlesbrough etc did. | |

At the moment I believe I am.
You never know, Welington may well have recovered from his hamstring injury by then and we could see the next Roberto Carlos in the flesh.
Now that would be worth my time!! | | | |

You know it makes sense. How else are we to provide a 89 minute rendition of OWTS (one minute reserved for calling SR c*nts)?

Very good. But the very fact I got in means someone isn't going.
Similar to the Swansea game, there must be many who have had enough at this point? And who can blame them. [Post edited 9 Jan 13:03]
