I imagine ours will be the same. Adult £22 (£24) Senior £18 (£20) Under 21s £18 (not available on a matchday) Under 18s £10 (£12) Under 7s FREE We'll undoubtedly sell out, but seems a bit steep for a League 2 side. They have to make as much money as possible so i think the prices are very reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re milking the ‘rarity’ value of this seeing as we haven’t played em since ‘67 . Memo to all ticket holders, don’t dispose of your ticket stub...trust me you’ll make a few quid....... in approximately 50 years time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recommended ticket prices for 4th round ties (set by the FA) is just £15. Considering they usually average around 5k and have only ever sold out once before (Man Utd), you'd think they'd set reasonable prices to attract as many of their fans in as possible - especially with it being on TV on a Friday evening.

Saturday grandstand, fish and chips before the game, dandelion and burdock, corona, 10p off the bottle, billy Hughes flicks in the garden, cricket stumps for goalposts, young boys in tight shorts, isn’t it though, marvellous...

Match A 0-0, Match B 3-0, check of the programme, Everton again, Bob Latchford probably, muddy pitches, orange ball in the snow, young boys passed to the front, there you go laddie, moving the dog poo off the pitch before you play, young boys, jumpers for goalposts, marvellous Yes I remember those days, My Dad would be pushing my Grandad in his wheel chair, I was sat on Grandads lap as we were walking down Dairy House Road, Then Dad would be trotting at a fare go until the junction of Cambridge Street all down hill, Where Dad would stop and i'd fall off Grandads lap, They both did laugh when I picked myself up out of the gutter, Grandad would reach in his pocket and give me a stick of chewing wood to last till half time, Pretty sure it was just a stick as it never really tasted of owt, Reaching the Baseball ground a steward would push Grandad into the ground and Dad would put me on his shoulders, Then forget to take me off them as he would go through the turnstiles with me still there, A bash on my head from the wall above and a smile from Dad saying oops sorry son. Getting into the ground i'd be ushered to the front to stand on a box he'd made from scrap wood from bonfire night, Most times i'd fall through it as most of the wood was burnt, I can see my Dad now laughing with his mates pointing at me trying to fix the box, Halt Time would come and the man with the numbers for the score board would pass us, Liverpool 9, 9 I said wow that's some score, Then he'd realised he put the 6 the wrong way up, Eating black Jacks at HT then sticking my tongue out to see what colour it was, I could never see my tongue so never new what colour it was, It was fun trying though. 2nd half it was lashing it down, The mud from the pitch would splatter into my face from the linesman running up and down, I'd look for my Dad who'd be standing under the Ley Stand nice and dry pointing at me with thumbs up shouting ARE YOU OK?, I'd nod and show him my tongue and he'd laugh, We'd lost again but never mind Dad would say as we'd go to the chippy soon, In the queue we'd wait our turn then asked what we'd like, I'd always have chips n a sausage in batter, Dad would have Fich n chips, We'd catch the bus home and be met by my Mum at the doorstep, Her arms folded she'd say "where's his Grandad" Dad would look and say "oh no i've left him again" but he'd laugh to himself allways forgetfull was Dad Ah yes Jumpers for Goalposts... the best days.
