Seriouisly?
Im a scouser who lives in north shields, but driving to liverpool today, i had that centuary on, and they said there was a good take up for tickets. I havent got a liverpool season ticket, but go every match. Didnt bother ordering a ticket for today as i thought i could pay in. Anyway got here and was lucky to pick a ticket up off one of the lads, total sell out. I reckon newcastle will be close to the same. I know me wife is going as she doesnt get the chance for league games.
How much were liverpool charging? it looked a full house on the telly.
Surely not £20 a ticket though?
Yes £20 notes mate, loads of people there that dont usually go, a lot of kids as well which is a good thing, for games like that we should be selling kids tickets for about £5.
yea i think all clubs should do that, like has already been mentioned on here before, if kids tickets were only a fiver im sure we would have had at least another 5k if not more
Think king harry gave slightly the wrong impression - there weren't any kids tickets for sale as such, only adult and child tickets for £30.
Great turnout and it highlights the general apathy around this place as we would normally match anybody for crowds in league cup games.
Anyhoo speaking of attendances I remember Liverpool got 33,000 against Pompey for a league game two seasons ago was there a big reason for this?, just seems strange that Liverpool can get 42,000 last night in the cup but such a low crowd for a league game?.
