Silly riposte to a perfectly valid post.

Not sure I see this as a valid argument. A season ticket (for the sake of this discussion £225 (ish)) paid for in either Oct, Nov, Dec or Jan. at least 5 months later £20 for a one off knockout game.
I understand times are hard, but since the last round of the cup there will have been 5 weeks. Whats that equate to? A pint and a pack of crisps per week? Times are not that hard.

Backing up the comment about tv. Even when passhders got free games, crowds were down. Paying fans have reduced a lot over the last few years for CC ties, hence the ridiculous comment from RL regards Magic being a better spectacle than The Cup.

How do you know times are not that hard? Many people won't come on their own so a family would have to pay in the region of £40 - £60 to attend on Sunday. I have used the yearly direct debit to pay for my season pass for several years and there are others who will use Christmas to get their passes as presents. You should never judge a fan on what they can and can't afford, just feel very blessed if you are one of the fortunate ones who can afford to pay for all the games without worry.

Be good to get anything over 10000, I'm not sure why fans don't come to cup games which are one off games but go to SL games.'"
I'd imagine Alot of Cas fans will be buying more this week. 1500 was Monday morning and Hull have already sent another 800 I believe. We'll need a big vocal following to keep the lads challenging you on the park.
Id imagine we'll be bringing 2500-3000 if not more
Hope it's a good day and a few more have a walk up.

| I think could be 10000+ but that will be mainly down to cas coming in big numbers . However I think we would equally take the same if not more to a away game like we showed at saints last year which is a far longer journey. Like hull last year get the feeling cas really believe this could be their year for a cup win hence why so many want to enjoy the journey. Hopefully we can do what wire did and retain cup but iwhoever comes through Sunday would be a good name on the cup. The point about affording the game is valid for alot of people.Going to cost me 30+ and that's taking one child without a pass so if you have 2 adult non passholders your looking a £40. Hard for alot of people not to look at barbi and few people round to watch at home. Do think the rl need to look at pricing for the cup. Loads of deals on the SKY funded magic weekend . Or am I being cynical

No cash on the turnstyles, but you can buy a ticket on matchday from the kiosk at the west stand. Or at least thats usually the case?

Cas twitter said 1900 sold with another 100 tickets available.
Another batch tomorrow.
So think it stands currently at 1900(plus the 100 if they are sold which you think they would be.
Another 400 tomorrow so looking at around 2500 Cas fans, which is a great effort,I hope we match that with 10K.

There are always exceptional circumstances.
But my point is valid for a decent number who will watch Sundays game whilst in a pub somewhere.

You will always get that though, the minute any game gets televised then all clubs lose fans to the pub/save for the final brigade

| Cas sold out their latest batch of tickets within a couple of hours today.currently sold 2000 with another 400 been sent tomorrow. I see no reason why we won't sell close to 3000.

Good, it's about time you brought a decent following to the KC given the numbers we bring to your place

| A team playing out of a city with a population of hundreds of thousands taking more to an away game than a town of 40k. Amazing
