Is this ripping off the fans who go week in week out or is it justified to get money from the once a season fans? http://www.suttonunited.net/news.php#3913 [img]https://news.images.itv.com/image/file/402260/image_update_img.jpg[/img] OFFICIAL FUNDRAISER FOR THE BRAIN TUMOUR CHARITY TOTAL AMOUNT RAISED SINCE AUGUST 2008 £16613.24 LATEST DONATION - FROM DONATION FROM THE FISHY FORUM - AUG 2023 AMOUNT RAISED £170.00

Guest User	Goes against the spirit of it all. But, it's a once in a generation thing so don't blame them for taking advantage - it's about the only benefit they'll get from the Premier League. They can afford it down there anyway.

If making money was such an issue where they have to stuff their loyal supporters, they should have moved it to a bigger venue or The Emirates. If they are insistent on playing it at home for whatever reason then the club should bear the financial consequences, not the fans.. The old boy that's on a pension or the hardworking families on a budget with kids who want to go are easily overlooked and priced out..

There's a good chance that some old boy who's struggling on a state pension and goes every week now won't be able to afford it. Hope it bites them in the bottom in the long run.

If they want to use the tie for commercial reasons, then move it to a bigger ground. They have already made far more from the cup run than they would have expected. I'd be fuming if we did it. The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
