I'm not going as I cannot justify spending that much on a reserve game.

Stranded
Nezhen I seriously hope we take up our allocated. Otherwise it will be red faces all round if the fickle RFC fans decide to sit on their hands and watch the game on tele.

The cost is not surprising really, but I wish they would realise that if the game is being televised, some of that TV money should subsidise the gate receipt revenue to ensure the ground is full.

Anyway, I'll be there as usual.


Couldn't give a flying one how many we sell. People will go if they can afford it - a lot, like me will simply not be able to justify paying best part of £100 for tickets, travel etc when they can watch it for next to nothing on the BBC.


The BBC is not free (technically) as we have to pay a fee for it.
I'm going along with my son.

Hence why he said "next to nothing" not "free" :roll:

If you get there early enough there`s bundles.

We got there at midday for the game last month and found some free parking near the Kellogs factory.

Come of the M6, go through Altringham and keep going you will soon pick up the signs for the ground.

Dam site easier than getting to and from COMS yesterday.

I've got Block E331 (East Tier 2).
Do you think these seats are better than those allocated for the League game?

Excellent. I'll be getting there about three hours early anyway, so that's just the job!

The 2nd tier to the left of that picture is where we will all be sitting this time around! I reckon it will be better than for the league game, just a bit of a longer walk up the stairs!!

Indeed it was where I sat for the league game (in the home end), A LOT OF STAIRS, but great seats.

I'll miss the scallies selling cheap beer in the toilets there at half time.

Halford, Dubes, Lits/Long, Oster.

It's still a strong team!

I bet Halford's gutted he played the Barnet game otherwise I'm sure he would have played at OT. Dubes also cup tied having played in the Millwall and Fulham games.
