FA Cup R5 - Sheff Wed (A) - Wed 4 Mar 7:45pm

[ccr]

According to sly sports we play Sheff united first then take on Sheff Wednsday. Will this be the same day ?

What do we think the pricing for this game will be like?
Bearing in mind that it is mid-week,a big stadium and The FA Cup.
£20- -£25 for an adult.
Or will Wednesday try to cash in on a big crowd and up the prices to £35-£40?

Probably the latter I'd imagine. They need all the cash they can get at present.

Unfortunately at Hillsborough we pay over £35-£40 quite often for the joy of watching average Championship football.

We’re also having issues with the council and SYP and aren’t able to sell 39,000 seats... probably looking at low to mid 30k.

 

[Wednesday]

Evening,

You’re looking at a max allocation of 4,500. We’ve been under restrictions from SAG and SYP for few years for trouble at the derby. We are unable to sell the last few blocks in home areas too.

The north west corner a few of you have alluded to has been out of action since 2012. It’s falling down.

We charge on average £30 a ticket for championship games. I can’t imagine Chansiri lowering prices for this one.

We’re toss at home so I’ll be happy to keep it to 3.

Enjoy your trip.

Cheers pal,thanks for the heads up. I think I was getting a bit giddy suggesting an away allocation of 8,000.

Then the united match? What are the odds they get Wed and we get Thursday?

I hope not but I bet you are right.
I now live about 2 and a half miles from Hillsborough but I am travelling to Oban early that Thursday morning.

Rock paper scissors instead of penalties.
Close calls decided by VAR.

Next season will be crossbar challenge, sudden death. Not bother with the game.

No VAR at Hillsborough

Not been to Oban for years, but great memories of it as a kid. Hope you get to see the match anyway! With only 4 possible nights to show matches there are gonna have to be two TV games on the rival channels on at least 1 evening, so no reason why us and them couldn’t be on same night...

It is a pity this match will not be on the traditional Saturday, yet again the powers that be are trying to ruin football. Looking forward to it.

Just realised the next round is midweek. Fuck.

Can't happen... The Rags got the "Granny shaggers" team away ;)

Yeah exactly mate. Every game should be 3pm on a Saturday... if your lot can remember those days haha

I'm taking you down with me if you do :)
You take it as a given it's all weekend ties in the fa cup, was planning a little rendezvous into Yorkshire, fuckin fa.

It’s a fucking disaster absolutely destroying the tradition of the fa cup ( yes play replays midweek) but an actual round,to be honest they started devaluing the cup for me when the semi finals started to be played at Wembley as well,has took a bit of gloss off it ..

We’ve got Wed. They’ve got Northampton or Derby.

 

[half & half derby scarf]

It's a good job this is away. We'd definitely struggle to sell out a mid-week tie whilst the Owls would definitely fill SS3. Their away support is second to none.
