FA Cup Draw: Round 5

Boomer · Post by **Boomer** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 10:33 am

Question for ST Holders.

The FA Cup reply will count towards one of the 7 game allocated to ST holders. (It will be the 6th)

Assuming we get through that game to the next round to face either West Brom or Burnley. Will this game be the 8th game?

And not the later fixture Roma as it's already been listed.
(Roma being the last 7th Game)

Correct?

My assumption is that the FA Cup 5th round tie (should we play it) will now be the final Cup game on the ST and we will then have to pay separately for the Roma game.

I think it's simply the first 7 cup games the ST is used for not the first 7 cup games listed, if that makes sense.

Plus then they'll get us all paying Â£65 rather than Â£45!

Actually I dont see how they can do that as Roma tickets have been on sale for a while now and they'd already told ST holders that they were covered, unless they just announce to ST holders that they'll get first refusal on their seats.

Actually I think you're right NBM, forgot to factor in that Roma tix have been on sale now.

So it's the first 7 cup games that go on sale regardless of the date of the fixture.

I'm not ruling it out though, you know what the club are like!

Yeah, would probably be easier to let Cardiff knock us out and spare everybody the bother.

So they will add on to next season's season ticket price as ever

In effect, the shit players who couldn't avoid a replay will be forcing us to part with hard-earned cash to watch them play shit again - so that we can then watch perhaps Burnley

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH

Judging by your replies I can see your thinking like me now. Hense the reason for the post.
I hope that as the Rome game was on sale first it would be included and therefor I'd only have to pay Â£35 quid for the next round of the FA Cup (If successful)

Otherwise I'd have to fork out Â£40+ on the Roma game that I was, prior to Sunday, expected to go to.
Sadly, I can see the club doing the later which I may decide to forfit (sell) in order to see Roma.

No Boomer, you won't a choice. They will allocate the 7 credits then automatically add extra games to your ticket and charge you next season.

I'm not being funny, the invincibles team would have been happy to come away from Cardiff with a replay as well. All thos on here complaining about comments saying we were happy with a draw are ridiculous. We are not saying we would be happy if we were playing for three points in the league. We are saying we are happy as we are still in the cup and will do them quite easily at home. Ninian Park is a hard place to go (Remember CL Team Leeds got beat there in 2002), and these ties are always potential banana skins (Anyone remember Barnsley doing Chelsea and Liverpool Last year). Get a grip guys, we are saying we are happy because bar the first 20 minutes we controlled the game and just didnt finish them off. The pitch was aweful (Ball bobbling everywhere) and we didnt lose. Anyone thinking this means fans are saying that we would be happy drawing against Championships sides every week if we are playing for league points need to get a grip and dont know what football is about. FA Cup is all about getting through. No one remembers you winning on penalties against lower league opposition if you are the winners come May.

What they used to do was allow you to use your season ticket for any games in excee of the 7 allocated and then a charge would be added to next season's ticket price. As for where we stand regarding Roma, I would assume they are aleady allocated to the card so therefore constitute part of the 7 credits. The club would not shaft loyal "customers"

True, however the invincibles wouldn't have been so lacklustre and generally poor. They'd have continued to have tried the passing game and either have been undone by the poor pitch or a dogged defensive display. Yesterday was a lack of pace in attack, poor movement and even poorer passing. Remember how the double team of 98 went 2 down at Port Vale? Well this season's offering would have got thumped that day.

I'm happy we're in the hat but we were f**king rubbish.

Ah! cheers.
I don't think thats the case anymore. How would the club know whether you were or were not attending.
I'm sure you would have to buy your seat otherwise (after a set time) the club would re-sell your seat.
