In the words of Delia Smith........
WHERE ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU? COME ON, WHERE ARE YOU?
I was disappointed by last night's attendance of 355, and I realise some people have to work evenings, nights, weekends, etc., but that was a dreadful show of support. OK, I understand the gate fee of £15/£10 may have put some people off in these straightened times, but come on people, we stand a realistic chance of progressing all the way in this competition and we've come so far over the last year that the team deserves better than that.

What a looooooooooong strange trip it's been

Re: In the words of Delia Smith........
It was a dreadful standard of football last night for the price. Arranged at the last minute too (not sure why they don't leave 10 days for the replay).
Was weird to be there with such a flat atmosphere and be able to hear everything the players were saying again. Been a good few years since I've experienced that.

Re: In the words of Delia Smith........
I was off work tonight but there’s no way I’m going to drive half an hour, pay £15 to get in and and stand in the cold to watch us play a side we hardly ever do well against.
I would’ve come if it was £8ish. Does the FA set the prices for cup replays or is it an agreement between the clubs?

Re: In the words of Delia Smith........
No I'm sure the club's can decide but whatever the replay has to be the same as the first match !!!!
So we couldn't reduce it I don't think.

Re: In the words of Delia Smith........
I was on lates last night, so would have been there had it not been for that.
I did think there were some issues with the game last night though.
1. Why on earth was it only 2 days in between the first game!? Who's stupid idea was that?
2. £15 is way too steep for an early round cup tie. (unless its the fa cup proper).
On a plus side, I will be able to attend a lot more frequently now as I move into a new role where I get a fair few weekends off! Hooray for me!

I'm pretty sure the 10-day (ish) gap to replays in the FA Cup is a relatively modern phenomenon, and one born of the police's expectation that they be given enough notice to arrange suitable resources. (I imagine Statto will be able to confirm/contradict this.)
Arguably no such equivalent issues at this level of the game, unless there's a history of trouble between the clubs involved. Not ideal for fans I know, but maybe the clubs need to make the date of any potential replay clearer in advance.

Re: In the words of Delia Smith........
I didn't think the atmosphere was too bad last night, given the attendance. Stood in the Draintech end first half and Tuckshop end second half and the atmosphere seemed about what I would expect, given the quality of football on display (i.e. the occasional Moors song, but mostly just calling their 'keeper a "nonce")
Was expecting a slightly higher attendance given that we don't have many home games over the next few weeks - might have encouraged people to make an extra effort to go - but the short notice likely prevented some people from going. Halifax seemed to bring very few fans, maybe a couple of dozen?
I'm just glad Halifax didn't grab a late equalizer so we didn't have to endure another 30 minutes of that!

Re: In the words of Delia Smith........
Hyper 14/15-year-olds shouting "nonce" and "paedo" is not an atmosphere.

Re: In the words of Delia Smith........
I'd already made other arrangements before the replay was scheduled. 3 days notice isn't great so I refuse to be made to feel bad for not turning up last night Delia: OK just a little bit bad maybe, but ironically there was a very nice meal involved in the other arrangement.
