Sorry, John, but I disagree. Sod the ordinary league games, this is the perfect opportunity to pull in new recruits. Big match occasion, big match atmosphere, the ideal situation to start kids on a lifelong love affair with the Clayton End. I also think there's a debt of honour to be repaid here - the people of Accrington and district (apathetic sods though they may be) put their hands in their pockets when we were drinking in the last chance saloon. The club could've at least returned the compliment by being fair by charging £10 for kids (which isn't "selling tickets cheaply" anyway).
