Thats what occurred to me,so not fussed home will do.

For me, the cup this year should just be about how much can we earn in gate receipts and prize money, I'm not bothered about how far we go as long as we have one big payday on the way. Tranmere at home isn't exactly like winning the lottery, but they are struggling, we are at home, they might bring 800-1000 and we *might* get a bigger payday in the next round. I would take an embarrassing 10-0 thrashing at Old Trafford in the 3rd round because it would leave us financially secure for the season. So much for the romance of the FA Cup

The only competition that matters for the competition sake is the league.

I would be surprised if they took more than 200; it wont be a bumper attendance that's for sure.

cashman · 27-10-2013, 16:13

Are yeh sure dav? we took best part of 300 to Morecambe yesterday.

Tom D · 27-10-2013, 16:23

I do reckon it'll be more, they average 4000 at home, its at the weekend, we are local (ish). I would be very surprised if it's less than 400. TBH, with 1100 at the last game, anything over 1500 would be counted as a 'bumper attendance'. Every cloud and all that

Their season so far has been poor compared to last season,
They normally only take away between 200 - 600,
Accrington away is not a glam tie and winter will be here soon.

I got that information of a Tranmere supporting friend.
Most people on this forum may find it useful, expect for Carpon who wont believe a word of it unless it comes from a journalist.

For example he reckons they will take 400 to Preston on Saturday.

One thing he did say, if Accrington do a price promotion, they could take as many as 700.

On the footballing front, he expects Ronnie Moore to play his first 11 and go out to win Vs Stanley, they will be taking it seriously.

Has to be minimum £10 adult price. FA Cup has minimum prices set.

DAV007 · 27-10-2013, 18:49

Didn't know that lancsdave,

£10 is a fair price IMO.

Should get a crowds nearer 2,000 than 1,000 if it was £10 or £12.

Depends on Tranmere's view, they have to agree the price

Some of us think you get a rougher ride than you deserve on here.

We'd find it easier to persuade others if you stopped looking for unnecessary fights!
