Im keeping my views to myself on the whole and waiting for others views.

But asking for £15 (Graham H? as it says Welling agreed the figure) and Choosing 1pm (Deffo Graham H - according to Huddersfield Secretary) will DRASTICALLY reduce the attendance AND make it harder for Wings fans to get to the game. I fear we have shot ourselves in the foot badly.....Thoughts?

Can i also add i dont give a toss, just drawn £500 for the weekend hotel and game and beers and i can see it is a hard decision for The Wings, Personally i think a 3pm Kick off and £10 adults would have seen over 300 Wings "Supporters" and a crowd of 7500-10000. Home fans will think twice about paying nearly fullwhack to see Welling. BUT could go in our favour 3 or 4 thousand there no atmosphere and we dont feel the pressure of a "Big" match.

A Sunday kick off at 1.00pm and charging £15, £10 and £5 is asolute madness. We can't do anything about the Sunday kick off as the ever delightful BNP are marching/stirring up racial hatred in another part of West Yorkshire on the Saturday but surely the clubs must realise that the place is going to be like a morgue.

Town have around 9000 season ticket holders, they'll have to pay on the gate and never like doing that, it's going to take some work to convinve them that they should come along and it looks like both clubs are doing their level best to put people off coming.

Even if it gets on the telly it's going to look embarrassing for both clubs; Town may even keep two or even three of the stands completely closed to reduce costs as they do for the reserves. I was really looking forweard to playing Welling but this is just turning into a joke.

Town don't listen to us, is there any presuure you can put on your club?

Bang goes my theory about conference clubs being more in tune with the fans!

We may have lost any floaters who might have come for the novelty value as well, Bradford City have just announced that it's £10 in for adults etc for their 3.00pm game. Most Town fans live in between Huddersfield, Bradford and L**ds and any mates or kids that they might have been bringing along will probably choose to see an all 1st Division tie (yes the stereotypes about being tight are true) 

Kinky we get about 45% of gate receipts

Roughly if 5000 pay £15 we will earn £33,000 ish

If 7500 pay £15 we get £50,000 (Probably about what we will get i think)

If 8000 pay £10 we would earn £36,000

IF 15,000 paid a Fiver we would earn £33,000 ish

So you can see Hobbins is going for Guaranteed windfall assuming 5,000 turn up rather than having a tenner a pop and only 5,000 turn up still. Over 5,000 turned up when we played Reading at the Madjeski 2 or 3 seasons back, add this to the 20 odd grand we have from the FA cup this season plus possibilities of the live bbc 1 game (Another £50,000 Plus IF we get shown live) and you can see why hes done what hes done. I suppose i havent got too many concerns abbout the £15 BUT Huddersfield say Wellings preference was 1pm kick off and that will cost a lot of wings fans in Saturday train fares AND Hotel accommodation. So we've been screwed. Had it been 3pm we could have got train there and back in same day. Piss Poor excuse that we could travel back most of the journey before it gets dark!! - More likely the club earn a bit more from coaches AND possibly get the live BBC Game at 1pm by getting in first (and at this stage only Match) at 1pm Kick Off
