Interesting to see how many tickets we give them if they decide to make it all ticket.

I know I said earlier forget gate receipts but...............how do you arrive at £3,000 as 45% of gate income what crowd do you reckon?Spyman wrote:What home attendance are they getting this season?AndyPark wrote:Can see this game attracting 2000/2500.

£4,500 for the win and maybe a conservative estimate of £3,000 gate receipts would be a nice boost.
Shame we probably won't win!

I would say good on them, but their throwing god knows how much money at players too. Will be interesting to see how far they can go.

I was working on the basis of a crowd of 1,000ish with an average ticket price of something like £7.bga wrote:I know I said earlier forget gate receipts but...............how do you arrive at £3,000 as 45% of gate income what crowd do you reckon?Spyman wrote:What home attendance are they getting this season?AndyPark wrote:Can see this game attracting 2000/2500.

£7,000.
45% of that would be £3,150.
Like I said, conservative estimate (and I think I read somewhere once that £7 was a good estimate of average ticket price, although I may be well wide of the mark on that too).

Re: FA CUP HOME v SOUTH SHIELDS
I now reckon based on their attendances they will bring a few so I think about 1,500. However if we go on a storming winning run before then nudge up to say 1,700?

Re: FA CUP HOME v SOUTH SHIELDS
Now the ticket price has been reduced to £8 we should get 2/2500 crowd
Re: FA CUP HOME v SOUTH SHIELDS
I think the average ticket price will be nearer £10 these days, OK maybe £9 conservatively. It has after all gone up to £14 adults and £11 concessions, with under 16s remaining at £5.
Anyway, whatever the gate receipts, first of all we pay the match officials etc, and it's the amount after expenses which gets split 45/45/10.
Then once we arrive at our 45% cut of whatever receipts - 20% of that goes to the VAT man.
Say if it worked out at 6k to us after everything, take VAT out and it's 5k.

Hopefully we can get 1400 or so home fans in, which would probably give a total crowd of approaching 2000, maybe more (I imagine South Shields will bring plenty?)
Re: FA CUP HOME v SOUTH SHIELDS
Got to disagree with you here Quakerz, I think the game will certainly attract 2,500 if not more (depending on the weather on the day).Quakerz wrote:LOL 2500?don'tbuythesun wrote:On another plus point and one which Spyman may approve, it's an additional game and 2500 crowd could cover that seats shortfall!!!
I think we will be lucky to have 1,000 home fans, it's only the 2nd qualifying round of the FA Cup and early rounds are always poorly supported.
I think Shields will bring plenty though.
As others have said, a massive banana skin and an ideal opportunity for to Gray to keep his utter turd cup record going.

Re: FA CUP HOME v SOUTH SHIELDS
On reflection I think it's a very good draw.
Reason behind it is, we could have played someone away like Lancaster with the gate receipts being minimal. This is probably a minimum 5k to the club even if we lose. We are playing a very good team, they are probably close to be Nat North level it has the local edge.
Yes we may lose but we lost to Lancaster & Hyde and didn't make much gate receipts so it's already one step forward.

As well as the decent gate it means we can go in to the game concentrating on having to play our very best rather than worrying about any FA Cup hoodoo.

Re: FA CUP HOME v SOUTH SHIELDS
The upset everyone is talking about is us winning as it`s a cup game
Re: FA CUP HOME v SOUTH SHIELDS
It's a brilliant draw and will definitely be making the trip for this one.
It'll be interesting to see how BM handles a large away following. I'd expect Shields to sell out.... Whatever happens, I seriously hope the profits are earmarked for investment in the seating. Winning could help pay off a decent chunk, if our gate receipts and prize money went towards it.

I only asked as I've not had a season ticket for years and living down here I know a few Arsenal season ticket holders who get a handful of cup/european games included. Couldn't remember if we maybe included tickets to cover the first round or two (wouldn't get used anyway).

No wonder we keep getting a bad name ffs
Re: FA CUP HOME v SOUTH SHIELDS
I have to say I agree. Not normally one to criticise ticket prices but this strikes me as a game where we can appeal to a wider audience.
Magic of the FA Cup and all that, game against local opposition etc. Would be great to try and drag back some of those who attended on Boxing Day and were put off by the teething problems.
A tenner in would seem a good way of achieving a decent crowd - not forgetting season ticket holders are paying and may see £14 as a reason not to go.
Apologies in advance to onewayup for questioning the powers that be from behind my keyboard.
Posturing over.

Re: FA CUP HOME v SOUTH SHIELDS
Do the away club not have to agree to reduced pricing? Do we know that this is purely down to us? In any case, with seating to be paid for can we afford to cut down to 8/10 pounds, when 55% of the revenue goes elsewhere anyway? Don't think it will put off a sizeable away contingent. Perhaps we could give them the majority of the ground, if so many of our fans are going to be put off.
Re: FA CUP HOME v SOUTH SHIELDS
I wouldn't be expecting a huge crowd purely because recent results aren't good enough to bring in the floaters. 3 goals in 6 games isn't going to draw anyone in.

Re: FA CUP HOME v SOUTH SHIELDS
All the more reason to leave it at £14. I don't think we have a lot of these mythical floaters to call on anymore, not without ground improvements anyway.
