Don't really think this will catch on to be honest, especially at £20 for a "ticket."

The FA Cup run was for 2 rounds, not really a proper cup run really. If it sells then fair enough but just seems a strange idea IMO.

I'm a bit baffled by this one, I've got to admit.

Good on anyone involved for trying something new but I'd be interested to hear how much this ends up raising. I also wonder if it'll leave a sour taste in anyone's mouth being reminded of how close we got as a means of making money (it doesn't with me, just a thought).

I'm lost for words - sorry & I'm all for fund raising when we can but this just makes us look more than a little bit sad, just my opinion & who knows it could work but sorry - it just doesn't float my boat :confused:

This is a daft idea.

I do appreciate the club are up against it and people are trying their hardest. But come on, this is ridiculous.

Isn't just they had some tickets printed before the replay and want to find something they can do with them?!

You have to ask is £5000 worth the embarrassment this gives the club, who the hell comes up with these ideas, totally clueless

We struggle to get 250 people now to pay £20 a ticket for a normal league game never mind for one that never happened!

I'm sorry but this is just a massive fail! Its actually embarrassing how desperate this looks! Just say it to yourself..." We are selling tickets for £20 for a game that never happened'. I'm sorry but this is just a pathetic commercial idea! I've never heard anything like it!

The people that are clearly trying need to just step down from trying as these ideas are getting worse....

Like ash said , 250 limited edition scarves? 250 limited edition shirts? Something along them lines but 250 tickets , a piece of paper to remind us what never happened for £20 is just nuts!

If these are the ideas that are coming from the club then no wonder we have no money !

Already being reported by the Guardian - Accrington sell tickets for Manchester United game that will never happen | Football | The Guardian

Embarrassing for the club. Coley says he wants to shake off the 'little Accy' tag, yet things like this happen.

I can hear the side splitting laughter from the direction of Morecambe from where I'm sitting.

Re: Stanley Fund Raising
 
As Ash has said, new scarves, shirts etc etc anything but this crap.

Promote the hospitality....... Ever since Faye left, the clubs marketing has gone down the drain, along with numbers paying for the hospitality.

Tin Pot........ and quite frankly..... Embarrassing.
