Perfect opportunity

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 ! !

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

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 :cry:

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.

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,

let it go lad! This irrational hatred will give you stomach ulcers! :lol: :lol: :lol: 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? :lol:

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!
