REDS SEE OFF HORSHAM IN FIRST ROUND REPLAY Match Reports Barnsley quickly put this tie to bed with a professional first half showing, ensuring a second round trip to Sutton United. Continue reading on the official site...
Guessing we will get around 750 tickets - given we couldn't sell out 450 for Horsham it may be enough to ensure anyone who wants one gets one Though it is a Saturday afternoon and not on TV so I think we could sell out. Its not exactly a sexy tie though it is a new ground and we should win though nothing guaranteed in the FA cup of course
Would like to go, but looks an absolute ballache to get to and staying over adds another £200, so I’ll probably give it a miss.
We sold out 1,300 at Leyton Orient so if we only get 750 for Sutton they're all going, easily, for a new ground on a Saturday afternoon. I understand if demand requires you can have up to 1,200 at Sutton so fingers crossed we get that, as I'd like to go.
That was a league game though - attendances for cup games tend to be lower also Sutton is a pain to get to and we are in the run up to Christmas I think we will sell out but suspect all ST holders at least should be able to get a ticket. Might be wrong though - I thought we would sell out Horsham before general sale and we didn't even sell out
Maybe Khaled's parting shot could be to get it brought forward to Friday night, in a sort of "up yours Delors" way.
Doncaster to Kings Cross/Sheffield to St Pancras. Train from STP to Sutton. Either walk the mile to the ground, or connect to West Sutton. The 10:47 from Doncaster will get people to the ground by 2. No more difficult than a lot of other grounds in London - from here at least.
Only 3 short of a sellout on our part. At Horsham. Once it was announced televised. It cut demand. Only 3 supporters coaches went. so I'd say a great turnout with 300+ making their own way . And we will sell out our allocation for Sutton imo.
