Fulham u21s - EFL Trophy

[Anderson]

Anyone know if tickets will ever go on sale for this? Only 2 weeks away 

[MS0204]

Everyone who wants one will get one 

[Mark_w]

Can we just delete this please? My brain really doesn't want to have to acknowledge it's happening.

95% possession. 1-0 loss

[Leicesterpool]

OMG they expecting fans to buy tickets for this 

 

I'm not sure you could pay fans to attend, you could be looking at the lowest ever home first team attendance, wouldn't be surprised if less than 1,000 turn up. Maybe looking at 500 - 600 fans present. Maybe more fans at a Harborough Town game

 

It's a pity they couldn't move this fixture to the training ground, rather that than play at 95% empty stadium.

I don't think they are expecting fans to buy tickets - they haven't put them on sale.

I think they will play the game at Seagrave if they can.

Not allowed within the rules, has to be at home stadium 

[SystonFox]

add it on to the season tickets guys come on and hope that some turn up. 

[Stuntman_Mike]

This must be a boycott, surely.

[coalvillefox]

If this was at Seagrave it would be £5 so I'm not expecting more than £10, so it will likely be £25

part of an email reply i had last week on the 3rd 

'We have no information on this at the moment, please keep checking your emails and the website for further updates.'

is there any chance it benefits the club to just have it behind closed doors like covid?

i dont know why im so bothered but i thought i'd go to the home ones - seems like theyre not bothered about opening the door for it

I imagine similarly to it having to be at the home ground, it also has to have an attendance (even if it's 100)

 

As others have said, should be free to attend for season ticket holders and members and whatever covers the cost of stewards for half a stand for anyone else who is mad enough to go.

Are you suggesting you want information for our eagerly anticipated game against a youth team? 

 

I really hope you can sort a ticket before kick off.

Anyone enquiring about this should be banned from buying tickets at our phoenix club.

MUST WIN GAME

[Asha]

Slightly odd mentality from many here towards this. 
 

Sure, it’s not Barcelona in the Champions League final, but it’s a chance to play some youth, a potentially cheap ticket for some who can’t justify £30+ to watch us get pumped in the league, and ultimately it’s a trophy to win. 
 

It’s unusual that we’re less than two weeks from a home game, yet there’s no ticket info yet. Taking the piss out of people for asking about it is very strange.

I’ve got no issue with people wanting to go or a cheap ticket, I need to travel an hour to the king power myself and if it’s cheap enough I might even go. What frustrates me is people’s impatience in emailing the club. Probably because i work in customer service I see it more. Its naff that it’s 11 or 12 days away and not released info but whats the issue if they release info 3 days before and collection of tickets on the night? 
it will be the lowest attendance in years 

 

If you want to go then it’s no problem how quick tickets are released but that’s my way of thinking.. 

[jammie82uk]

7pm on a Tuesday night and it’s on sky sports I’ll be surprised if a few hundred turn up 

[Leicesterpool]

Can the club charge nothing for tickets or is it the cup rules, fans that do decide to turn up will still spend money in the concourse and the club shop so some sort of revenue. You won't fill the stadium, but opportunity for many can't normally afford to go the KP, get the opportunity for free.

[CrazyKopCorner]

Finger on the pulse on this one. 

 

Where are the Fulham Under 21 tickets? 

 

Almost as though we can't get enough totally shite football played by a bunch of over paid ****s

Morbid curiosity to go and watch what is the most embarrassing fixture in our history

the impatience? 
 

Firstly I’d say it’s just shit marketing. You’ve got a midweek game which is going to be a total loss. However you could actually make a huge thing of trying to make it like a FNF night. Aimed at kids etc 

 

Course the big point of that is parents and families need decent notice etc. 

 

Just always very short sighted 

 

The club actively needs money and it stops itself getting this money. Was the same with Northampton cup game
