MmmMonsterMunch I don't really see how its any of your fcuking business what games I choose to attend to be quite frank.


I don't give a f*ck what games you decide to attend, pal, so long as RFC sorts STH's such as myself who bothered to attend the WBA game with a priority ticket for Stevenage.


I went to the 1st round tie against Southend in the Leyland DAF Trophy in 1992.

If I don't get a ticket for this, I swear I'll do time.

Why the worry about getting a ticket? Since when is Stevenage a huge draw ffs? Since when is our travelling support really that big, certainly for a lower league side?

I imagine Stevenage may be quite happy with this draw too.

Seeing as I am a STH and have been for many years I can get a ticket just as easily as you then can't I you patronising idiot. Sorry if that sticks in the craw.

Nice tidy ground, not very far to travel for most. Only small allocation, also a very winnable game ovb. Get the cup run into motion

they dont score many and dont let in many (24-19) will be a tight game, possible replay.

They should forget points, priority for season ticket holders, internet and telephone sales. Sell them to the proper supporters who can be bothered to queue in person.

LOL @ your rabid reaction to the quite reasonable suggestion from some bloke further up on the thread suggesting that people who attended yesterday's game should get priority. Care to argue his logic rather than throw around insults like a keyboard warrior?

I will happily argue it. The way the system works now is fair & shouldn't be changed. 1st priority is & always should be STH's. They are the ones who have invested the most cash upfront supporting their team - many of them year after year.

Then it should go on royalty points - again those who have invested the most watching Reading get an earlier chance to buy. The only thing that perhaps might need tweaking is the royalty points system - i.e it should be perhaps a rolling 24-36 mth system so that people who haven't attemded much in the past 5 yrs don't continue to dine off past glories & those who are currently watching get the tickets they want.

Other than that I have no qualms with it at all.

Listen you bunch of fairies. I went to Cheltenham v Reading in the FA Cup 3rd round in the 1990's so that means I have priority over any of those geezers that showed up yesterday. Nah nah ne nah nah.

Fair f*cks. They will bring the Royalty Points into play, rightly so, but is it beyond the wit and imagination of RFC to first reward those with a high level of Royalty Points who also chose to attend the WBA game?

Looks like a rubbish draw for all concerned to me. Neither side stands to make much money out of it and, if we win "it was only Stevenage", if we lose then "with all due respect we should be hammering sides like Stevenage". Bah.

How is it a rubbish draw, we get lots of press because we playing against the under-dogs. And its a winnable game that could take us into the FA Cup 5th round.

Those who have more royalty points and with a current season ticket should be first in the queue, regardless of whether they attended the Brom game.

Agree with that. The animals from Cardiff Zoo turned up and joined with the local cavemen - it literally was a case of bricking it (or us!).

i may well write to the club with a new proposal:

PRIORITY FOR FA CUP TICKETS

Produce any ticket stub from the triumphant Simod Cup run and you're in. Simod Cup flat caps or sun hats free pie.

Most probably. Having missed yesterday's game by choice I'd have no issue with the order of sale going:

Band 1 of Royalty Points + attended WBA
Band 1 of Royalty Points (no WBA)
Band 2 of Royalty Points + attended WBA

etc

However, I doubt that the club will do this - far to difficult for them.
