FA Trophy - This Saturday

[Tipps End Pilgrim]

So, it's the next round on Saturday and Boston entertain high-flyers, Hyde Utd.

Will the crowds come out in force ? My thoughts are that in the midst of our current form and the fact that it's the run up to Christmas, we may see another 750 gate.

The question is; if gate prices were halved for the match, would we many more spectators or would the gate remain about the same and the Club therefore lose out by having collected less revenue ?

Do you think Hyde would have agreed to that?
The prices have to be mutually agreed on
Our main profit from these games come from winning them

[Bostonshire]

No Daniel.
  We have had cut gate prices before and apart from 100 to 200 extra it has not made much difference if Anythink we came out worse with letting people in for a fiver less and still only getting 900 to 100.

Just example but 750 paying 10 is 7500
                            1000 paying 5 is 5000 Not correct but you can see the point.

And as baghdadpilgrim pilgrim says both clubs have to agree and no club in the right mind would want us to cut it

I think a half price deal wouldn't work, due to the time of year etc. Maybe £1 off might persuade a few more to come and then it would be more financially viable, but I doubt it.
They could offer a few other incentives to boost the gate; a DIY plumbing course by noughty forty and his U bend maybe?   

[Old yellow]

The fact is the clubs running costs increase in the winter months with floodlights,general lighting etc.... so we are getting a good deal already.
