What a chance for the club to get bums on seats. Partially unexpected revenue fron a none guaranteed match,would the club be willing to reduce the price of tickets for the Daggers replay ( not free ) and make it a similar atmosphere to the game when they did make it free ! !

Probably not...

What is the incentive for Dagenham who will lose out on a share of the revenue?

If prices arent reduced there wont be anymore than 850 on for the replay

Both clubs have to agree on prices.

Could be a strong case for a ticket deal to cover both Dagger matches.

Loser in the replay will receive one of the lowest amounts ever, maybe why they settled for a draw

No chance of a freebie I am afraid. Gate receipts have to be split three ways with the clubs and the FA. Think there is a minimum price of a tenner too for Round 1 matches.

Better chance of a discount/freebie for the rearranged league match. Maybe play it NYE when folk are off work and get a decent crowd in?

Yes it is a minimum of £10 can be charged. FA don't want to lose out on their 20%!!

FC United of Manchester were outraged as they don't charge more than £9 so they had to charge £10 and give a £1 voucher from their own 40% revenue.

A well promoted £10 a ticket match might well pull in a decent crowd. Anything more than 1500 at these prices would be breaking even on revenue and everyone would benefit being a cup game. Is the 17th a Champs League night?

£10 entry isn't going to make any difference to the numbers of Daggers fans travelling, we'll be lucky to see many more than thirty of them on a cold, wet Tuesday evening. But a "well promoted" £10 entry could get a reasonable turn out from Morecambe. Difficulty is, we've got one week to sort that out.

Easier may be to do a 'BOGOF' promotion, attend the FA Cup replay, get a free ticket to the rearranged League match a week or two later. Getting two games for the price of one may entice a few more to attend, including a reward to the Dagenham faithful who may be more tempted to come north twice. If we don't do something, the League match could be down to about 800

Apart from the regulars, I don't think people in the town will get their heads round we will be playing Dagenham on Tuesday and won't be playing them on Saturday.
I can see people turning up on Saturday having no idea what is going on - FA Cup, JPT, or League

Champions League is when we play Cambridge

I doubt if any of the Dagenham faithful who invested in non refundable advance train tickets for next Saturday's league match will be enticed.

Dagenham reduced their ticket prices yesterday, £12 for an adult. It still didn't bring in the punters (900 crowd with 105 - although it seemed more - from Morecambe) but I think we should do the same to try and get people down.

West Ham been at home yesterday won't have helped

ITV showing England v France game so the armchairs will have some work to do, as will we

FCUM saw a unique opportunity to rip the fans off by giving them a voucher so they have to spend even more in the club shop, you mean,

FCUM may well have a protest tonight for moving the fixture, if its not waterlogged...

He he great them candles at Asda , got some cracking photos of them none of which are postable Strangely a lot of the letters are in FC UNITED.

let it go lad! This irrational hatred will give you stomach ulcers! If you really don't want to give a voucher and 20p for a cup of coffee, then just throw the voucher away and settle of paying the £10 entrance fee. Are you a Liverpool fan on the quiet?

Blew the game in the first 10 minutes tonight.. Like their terrace behind the goal but not sure about the "I don't like Mondays" banner.
They certainly won't now

I could be wrong but I think their terrace behind the goal is the one that used to be down the side at Northwich. They sold it to FCUM who rebuilt it and painted it red!

Indeed they did, Dane Bank, shows what can be done, firm from Lancaster too
