I was talking to Neil Fox in the Hylton last night. He said it had to be £15 in order to cover the policing costs. He also said that the Mags were wanting 10% of capacity as an allocation.

Despite the fact they keep saying it’s a game that doesn’t matter, they will sell thousands (if allowed). I’ve said this before, but I fully expect to see a lot of trouble - especially if the mags put their tickets to general sale
 
I don't really want to moan on too much about the club as I have been well impressed the way things have been run this season however I am gonna express annoyance at this business of only opening one stand (or two for this fixture) for cup games. I understand the theory but in practice it just does not work. I have been to all the home cup games this season and each one has seen huge ques at the turnstiles, season ticket holders sitting in "their" seat resulting in people who had bought tickets in those seats to be forced to sit elsewhere, twice I have found the seat I had been sitting in during the first half occupied by somebody else in the second half, Stewards trying to keep people away from sections of seating for no apparent reason and fans missing up to 15mins of the first half because of hundreds of folk still coming in, unable to sit in their seats and arguing with stewards over them trying to sit in areas the Stewards have been told to keep clear. I think that the new policy for cup games is actually putting people off from going. I find it barmy that this policy is being enforced for the Mags U21 game as I am certain there would be more demand if season ticket holders could buy a ticket in their seat and if fans could choose which area to sit in. It also causes a slow uptake on tickets as when its block by block people are holding back from buying tickets until their seat or preferred block becomes available. I am not going to complain too much about tickets being increased in price, but I was expecting them to be a tenner.

Not saying the atmosphere is normally good for cup games but this year it's been absolutely terrible. Feels like a reserve game and there's no energy coming from the crowd. Haven't heard one chant in any of the Check a trade games, the LC game or the FA cup game.

The South stand creates an atmosphere. Having everyone who wants to sing dotted about kills it. Going forward I think they need to have a singing bit for these cup games.

There is absolutely zero chance I’d be interested in watching our junior team play the Newcastle first team at SJP.

You may not be, but there are plenty who would. So you would suggest not taking an allocation if things were not the other way around because you personally wouldn't go?
 
At least it might keep some of the fuckwits away from our end.

I'm still going though...

There was a bit more chanting last night than in previous cup games but nobody seemed interested in joining in, I hate to say it but when compared with our cups games there was more atmosphere at the Gateshead v Bromley game last weekend in front of 680. I hope the club reverse their decision for closing stands for cup games next season
