matthefish2002 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Basically FA Cup not as attractive as it once was. No real money in it so big clubs don't take it seriously. More important for clubs like Swansea to stay in the Premier league then go far in the FA Cup. Not for any football reasons but for money reasons. Had a knock on effect with the crowds.

Hookowl Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I think Dom Howsons articles make very good reading. Oh no sorry I meant Enid Blyton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 How many Swansea fans turned up, it was on the tv, season ticket holders have already paid a fortune for season tickets so may not want to pay again for FA cup, Prices for normal games are that ridiculous that POTG fans have probably just stopped coming and checking pricing, the low ticket prices are only ever for cup or a normal league game not villa at home for example so not appealing to turn up, we are rubbish at the minute, No advertising on a large scale of the game or pricing, Fans feeling disconnect from the club after bad 150th year. How many excuses do you want Dom because I can keep going. Lazy lazy Journalism and just designed for clicks rather than giving any insight. total trash.

tarn owl Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Huddersfield have a capacity of 24,500, Manchester United sold out their end, Huddersfield having their best season possibly ever playing the biggest team in England. Low ticket prices. 17,861 I think the issue Dom may not be the fans, I think the issue may lay elsewhere. Twit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 After sat there watching a dull game last week I think any season ticket holder who didn't turn up got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 19'000 against unattractive opposition onTV with a midday kick off.....? what a f.ookin' idiot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlyegg Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 TBF, if I had heard the team news early morning, I would have given it a miss, an obvious 'not reyt bothered about this game' attitude I thought. Though it wasn't such a real bad game (according to the beeb it was) and performance was okayish. Perhaps I'm just getting easier to please though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC1867 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Ha what a clown! Does he not know cup games aren't included in the season ticket? Being contractually obliged is the only reason I attend league games at the moment so the cup can genuinely get to fizz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S6 Lifelong Owl Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Should a professional journalist be using phrases like. And I quote, "to state the bleeding obvious" in a published article which many of our younger generation of supporters could possibly read? What a throw pot of a paper to allow this to be printed.
