    Thats why season ticket holders should get 4 a piece.

    Costing the club money!

    not on the West Ham subject but our home attendances have been ok

    in this division we are one of the lowest yes but we are a smaller club with bigger clubs in the immediate area. That is not some sort of mindset or inferiority complex its a fact. There are regularly 10k home fans, 9k at least and that is not bad at all for us. We will never get those fans who turn up for Chelsea and Wednesday by charging 20 quid, but when we have reduced prices attendances have not greatky improved, so I for one am fairly satisfied with last year's average about 12k I think.

    On the main site it says that tickets for the west ham game will be available until friday at 4pm. Seems strange to send tickets back when they are still on sale, very strange. :)

    of course I am

    and don't try and include the other ten in your own collection

    regardless of ticket prices, if we manage to take nigh on 4,000 to London for a cup game straight after christmas that's not bad IMO

    We were never going to sell 5,000 for a 3rd round .....

    .... match in London straight after Christmas and the New Year, there was lots of silly panicking going on when the draw was made about folks not getting a ticket, it's not rocket science.

    Despite all the ****** of 'the greatest cup competition in the world' etc., crowds for the FA Cup have steadily gone down over the last few years, we would struggle to get 8,000 for a 3rd round home match with any team other than a local derby or a Premiership team
