FA Cup next round

Tickets could only be printed when we knew the opposition last Wednesday morning.

Neither club really wanted to discuss the finer details until they had played the replay.

We announced the prices on Social Media once they had been agreed and put them on sale on Thursday.

We've also been selling Rochdale away and Wycombe & Sunderland at home.

Not really too sure want people want ??

Prices are £15 adults, £10 concessions £5 12-17's and u12's £2

?what social media; I've seen nothing on fishy, nothing on asfc twitter, nothing on accyweb, maybe it was on facebook, I wouldn't know, because I and a lot of fans would never sign up to or use

People want an improvement on the Cup Attendance! i'm beginning to wonder if you do.
 
I take on board your comments;

But really thought the information was "out there"?

Apologises IF it isn't; we are selling tickets somehow!!

I'll speak to the Media guru's tomorrow
 
Many owd farts dont use much social media, i myself do but not a great deal. i know some that just look on thee fishy fer info.

What is wrong with putting the details on the club's actual website?

I even looked on twitter, it takes ages and nothing there either.

Plenty of time to promote a curry night, and let us know it has sold out, but not promote the actual games which will take a lot more money.

BTW other clubs do print tickets and sell them before the opposition is known, especially so now the opposition have no input in the pricing in this competition.

The trick is writing Accrington Stanley v Ebbsfleet/Cheltenham. Even the football league have done this for play-off finals, printed them before the semis with all four teams on.
 
Ive not seen any prices announced for this game anywhere on social media ??

Nor was I asking about Rochdale, Wycombe or Sunderland !
 
If you shun twitter you are missing out on a feast of information and insight from Andy Holt.
It’s not something he could possibly achieve via the web site.
You also get better access to team news, coley’s post match interviews etc
I know it’s a horrible place at times, but just to follow Andy and the official club account is worth the couple of minutes to sign up.

Sorry but I think it is a great pity that the "feast of information" and "insight" cannot be shared more widely

My simple mind asks "Why not?" Surely the "feast of information" is limited by the number of characters available on twitter. The "feast" (and "insight") could be much greater without such an arbitrary limit.
 
Good clubs have good websites, and we will be lucky to get 1100 on Saturday at this rate as fans unaware they are on sale, and if you wait until the day for sales lots drop out if it is cold etc like v Colchester.

Twitter like JANET mail, Myspace and Ask Jeeves will surely be around for a long time.
 
I would argue that Andy Holt’s use of twitter is a real selling point for the club. Giving out shirts to kids is a nice gesture, but is magnified by social media. His recent publication of matchday P&Ls are interesting but far more interesting to see the stir they caused on Twitter. Ditto giving all the Wycombe fans free hot dog and hot drink tonight and his rants about the EFL.

I agree ticket sales should be on the website, just that there’s not a cat in hells chance all the aforementioned stuff will be or should be on there.

fans know it will not be a sell out on saturday so what is the real need to purchase em in advance. prices and availabilty of purchase should have been published earlier for those who cannot wait.

Why so? You think the mines will return, or that Andy Holt is suddenly going to start writing web pages?

My issue is not with twitter per se as you seem to assume. I am not seeking to put back the clock to pre-twitter days (halcyon though they may have been). I was suggesting that I would prefer Andy Holt to use a different method of communication. How can there possibly be a "feast of information and insight" in a limit of 280 words?
