These people aren’t floating fans

I know plenty who come to watch the football but can’t on a Saturday because they play themselves

Bare in mind that we only get 40% of the gate receipts for this game

We are getting 60k off the bat just for putting the game on

On top of that guaranteed even if we lose to get £21,200

BUT if we win you get £79,500 with the guarantee of atleast another £26,500 as the losing fee in round 3

I can not understand how anyone can find a negative out of this

There is absolutely nothing negative about it

It’s money that hasn’t been budgeted for that’s being thrown at the club

I can’t now make it due to shift work, there’s a negative and a few of our southern based Bluebirds will struggle to get back home too.
But agree it’s a fantastic windfall opportunity for the club and hopefully we grasp progression to the next round and keep the money coming in

The extra sixty grand into the club's coffers trumps my disappointment at not being able to attend the night match. At least we can watch it from afar.

They have that opportunity at midweek games but sadly attendances don’t appear to reflect that Barrow v Scunthorpe our lowest league gate this season
The money we are getting is fantastic and will more than cover the drop in attendance we will have due to accommodating TNTs tv coverage
It has to be remembered if it was not on tv we would undoubtedly have a bigger away and home following as the tie wouldn’t be on a dodgy stick either

Limited availability in corporate tells you that ticket sales will be just fine for this game

People need to stop looking at everything through negative eyes and see this as the money spinner that it is for the club

Well said Adam.There are far too many negative people on this forum and like you have said it will make up for.the drop in attendances.Who would have thought we would have come this far in such a short time after last season.Whatever Adam Murray is doing had turned this club around and he deserves every plaudit he gets.

I think getting the troublemakers out of the dressing room is giving him chance to mould the side in his own style.

Could even be a better money spinner should we beat Kidderminster Adam.
We could well be the only non league club reaching the 3rd round.
If so, should be a definite for tv coverage.
Each club in that round gets £80,000 if selected.

What sort of crowd do you think we will get the clubs done cheap prices so I hope 3k to 3300 maybe under the lights lots at stake a tasty tie on tv to bring the floaters out and glory hunters out we average 2300 so i hope the crowds come for this one
