eh?

Listen to the interview. Poor old Richie has been made to beg us to turn up tomorrow night.

(It looks like we've only sold a few hundred for this so far!)

It just goes to underline the people are not really interested in this competition and what makes it worse it’s worse it’s a midweek game so a lot of people like myself can’t make it even if they wanted to. Anyway, people are probably saving their money to buy their Manchester City tickets.

Stevenage are bringing a big following
They’ve been allocated the Papa John’s bench

Then they should just restrict tickets to the JE stand.

Good fans.

Inevitable they’ll close the south stand now.

I’ve got a ticket but not sure I can be arsed now as will do 5 matches in February and likely 6 if Birmingham in the 1/4 becomes a reality.

It’s a huge game ( copywright @ Nige) so we need to turn out in numbers
I will be sat in front of the TV as 500 mile round trip bit too much on a Tuesday

Few pics of those playing tomorrow
Clare, Perkins, James, Wellens (R)

Nowhere did he say no tickets sold

A reserves game vs Stevenage in the freezing cold with half the ground shut. What is putting people off?

I think the overriding point is that why commit before the night. For me it’s a game I’m desperate that we win.

Trip to Wembley the ultimate prize, what’s not to like?

Is this the diddy cup competition with the B-teams ? Not sure why anyone at all would want to encourage that.

£40k for winning tomorrow, on top of the money already banked, it could be a decent earner & help pay for more players

We’ve earnt c £65k in prize money from Vertu, so could be over £100k if we beat Stevenage
That’s useful, pays for 10 days losses!

Most of us have been told to keep in the warm.

Well of course he didn’t.

A quick look at the ticketing site shows why he’s been wheeled out though.

Wonder how much these games cost to stage? And you wouldn't want any of your already tired and battle-worn squad to pick up another injury in one of these matches.

Aside from the fact that he normally does a pre match interview

Indeed.

Doesn’t normally plead with us to turn up though.

I think you mean Nonce Sense.

They should give any season card holder who
purchases a ticket for the Stevenage game tomorrow the opportunity to purchase an additional ticket for the Man City game before they go on general sale (currently limited to one per season card holder).
