Bwfc have to take a big part in the blame on this. Not just on the fans. I agree it would be good if people turned out 

Definitely. No point in making the effort to watch us not try and compete. 

I can't believe how we treated the UEFA cup.....

It’s nothing to do with that it’s just people are not arsed about the cup. That’s the reality. 
cost is fine, it’s Saturday at 3 and all transport is running......people just don’t want to go. Not making them bad just the reality 

I'm not disagreeing we care more about the league than the cup (and I like you love the FA Cup) but if season tickets included cup ties we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Attendance would be 11 or 12k and it wouldn't be commented on.  If we get say 7.5k on that will be significantly more home fans than the 1st couple of league games this season, and it will be more than the Doncaster rearranged game.  And that's 90% down to season tickets not being valid for those games.  Its not because people cant afford it, its a "CBA" attitude to making the effort to buy a ticket when you can wait a week to just wander up to the gate.

I wont knock anybody for not going to this, as long as I have 1st dibs on the FA Cup final tickets 😁

2nd dibs 😉

That's just reminded me that for about the first 10 years of me going to games, you had to collect tokens from the programmes to qualify for "big match" tickets.  So for Everton away in League Cup Semi you needed about 20 programme tokens carefully cut out and glued to the official token sheet!  S/Ts were virtually none existent, hence huge swings in crowds from  1 match to the next dependent on opposition, weather and form.  Man U used to do the same, if you bought a programme for a previous game from club shop etc, the token number was erased.  It was just assumed every fan would buy a programme in them days, now I dont know anyone that buys one.  We stopped doing tokens around mid 80s when it became obvious we were deluding ourselves if we thought we were going to have a game, home or away, where demand might outstrip supply!

I still have a voucher sheet.  Might take it to ticket office and see if they'll let me have double tickets.

Wasn't going to bother with this, but must admit £10 is tempting me

 

It’s a great draw for us, good chance of progressing, might see a few goals and a game with no pressure where we can express ourselves. Looking forward to it myself, and all for a tenner.

Great interview,  the passion and hunger is there for all to see and Hill represents exactly my views about the FA cup, BWFC is all about the FA cup, we are a cup team first and foremost and I hope this town never forgets that, let’s hope we can have a nice little run and a big crowd on somewhere along the way. 

I think only three members of my family are going to be in attendance and that's the lowest I reckon for over 40 years easily.  Barring weddings of course.  We usually have about ten at every home game at least

He had a big fall out with Hill at Barnsley. I suspect we’ll not see him again. Oh well

He said he wasn't mentally right to play competitive football.

The cynic in me says that now mental health is (quite rightly) being taken far more seriously nowadays, some players might see it as an easy option to milk the system.

FWIW, Alnwick's shit anyway.

Yorkshire based fellows... How are trains looking between Sheffield and Piccadilly at the moment? Some grim flooding scenes coming out of areas around Sheffield today.

May be a Nottingham-Derby-Stoke-Manc situation if the "direct" trains are off.
