Yes it was vintage Jocky that night. Even with the old ‘mishit dummy’ before swivelling and scoring!

Hopefully the club will keep ticket prices down and offer kids incentives (it’s half term I think) and get the place packed out.

Hopefully, they will and the team turn up too!
It’s 3 or 4 days after the quid-a-kid game, why not say it’s £5 for 2 games?
I believe Fulham play Newcastle away on the Saturday before the week in question and Wolves at home on the Saturday after, which feels auspicious to me.
Not a hope, although £5 for under 14s isn’t bad, but £30 for the FA seems steep.

Just seen those prices. Think I’ll watch on TV - which I’m sure will be what others are thinking too. 4,000 crowd?

Those prices are mad.
What a shame.
The prices may be set by the FA ?
This is what many thought for Villa last year too? And they got a big crowd.
I don’t think they are, I have no idea what Grimsby charged for their game against Man Utd but there is a rule that PL clubs have agreed to only charge £30 for an away ticket.
Grimsby were at it themselves, £30 top priced ticket
Aston Villa is a far bigger draw than Fulham.

This is one round deeper though. And we’ put our prices up this season too.
Unfortunately fans don’t have deeper pockets.

Prices are normal league prices aren’t they? Seems reasonable to me for a last 16 cup match against Premier League opposition. It’s a pretty huge match for us and whilst cheaper prices are always appreciated, I don’t think it’s realistic to expect discounts for such a big game.
Probably a better argument to suggest that the normal league prices are too much.

Feedback from my wider group is a bit “meh” so far with some thinking of staying home if it’s on Sky plus. We will debate more about it in the Vere pre/post game Saturday.
Yep, it’s the league prices that are the problem. As a season ticket holder you pay less for games anyway, so when you see a £30 price you think, yikes, is that the standard price these days? Good luck getting many new fans in at that price.
Surprised they didn’t set the Away fans seats pricing at the same as the Main Stand at least. They’re cheaper than the Main Stand and the Frank Adams, but a few quid more expensive than the family stand.
