Cheltenham Town (A) - Virtual Tickets

[Blue Smarties]

Thought it warranted its own thread to give it a bit of reach.

Cheltenham’s supporters group have set up a crowdfunder where you can book virtual tickets for £10. It’s been confirmed by club directors that the club receive the money, so no concerns there.

Cheltenham Town v Manchester City - FA Cup

Crowdfunder is waiving its platform fees for community and charity crowdfunding projects during the coronavirus crisis.

Yes came on to do the same. Clubs need all the help they can get, have done as I am lucky enough to be able to unlike others.

Great idea - hopefully we get some positive media from it!

I'm in, the season with match tickets, travel, food and booze probably costs about £2k per season so a tenner is a fair price.

Edit

Plus £1 optional extra

A HUGE thanks to all who are are supporting this. League 2 is tricky this year and all are looking forward to your visit, as a spotlight in the gloom. Pity you can't come down in person, Good luck for the season (but not the cup) :)
Like most lower league clubs , that are well run, a small amount goes a long way!

Done, we should be all over this, the football Family sticks together, I'm sure pretty confident City will do something for them as well.

Please support this if you can. In normal times, this match would be a great money spinner for the club, but the gate money would be at least as much as the TV money. I serve with David Beesley who has already posted on this thread, as part of the Trust board. Your support is appreciated

Bought ours. Great Idea.

No OAP or kids prices ;)

Do we get loyalty points for this being an away game

 

[lancs blue]

Done, pissed off that I'll miss a chance to pick up a new ground but good luck with the funding.

Done, this is a great chance to help out.

Have bought a ticket. I live in Cheltenham and would have loved to see City playing at Whaddon Road.

I have seen a few Cheltenham games over the years but will want them to lose this one.

Just done it.

Took it over the £5,000 mark. Not bad in less than 24 hours.

They play in red and white and their fans call themselves the Red Army. Mmmmm.

Done!!
Even if only 4,000 of us donate, it will make a huge difference DIRECTLY to their club funds.

 

[Golden Silva]

Done. Can any one recommend any decent away friendly (virtual) pubs within walking distance of the ground?

The Cat & Fiddle was the nearest pub to Whaddon Road - it is now virtual as it was demolished a few years ago.

Marine sold more the 30 thousand virtual tickets for their game against Spurs. The did it as a raffle where the top prize was to manage the team for a day.

Did United do something similar a few years ago? - it would explain Ole!

This is a really nice idea - would have been even better if Cheltenham recorded who'd bought virtual tickets and rewarded them with actual tickets at some point in the future (when it's safe to attend games again). This would be a new ground for me. I would have loved to have gone down for the weekend.
