Given the chance of paying double that price to sit in a soulless, characterless new-build premiership stadium (perm any from about half the league) - I think that I can safely say that most will forgo the dubious 'comforts' provided in those instances & have a 'proper football day out'.
Hence why we'll EASILY sell our allocation for the Cup game & maybe only take a couple of hundred to a midweek dour & dull EPL away match. Don't forget we're one of the few Premiership clubs who still possess a p[roper ground - even if all seater has been forced upon us ... so we (or at least the long term, hardcore support) appreciate 'old skool' grounds more so than the usual Premiership prawn sandwich mob.

Well said, mate, puts it all into perspective! I'm sure your lot will have a great day out (although we're still hoping that we can pull off a shock result!).
