I won’t take my kids, with almost 1500 tickets and around a flat pitch I can’t see they’ll be able to see. The weather and being exposed to standing on a wet pitch won’t be great. Also squished like sardines trying to battle for a good view isn’t my idea of a good day out.
It’s not that trinity can’t it’s that the fans aren’t enthused or have concerns that have caused them to make a decision.
What’s poor is you calling the club/fans out as poor when there’s obvious reasons behind the low uptake. I say low but as I understand there isn’t many tickets left.
This is a big game if you are a Siddal fan but for a trinity fan it’s the opposite and probably the least appealing fixture of the season.
I dont disagree with what you are saying.
However, even with all of those factors being taken into account, we should be getting through our allocation of 500 tickets all day long.
Look on it as a donation to a solid grassroots club, who have done very well to reach this stage of the cup.
Hey, ATEOTD it's each to their own and it's an experience that I havent had in all my years watching Trin and it may not come around again for many years to come.
However, I'm more than happy to go and put a few quid into their coffers.
Yes, it should be a big mis match but, watching how Siddal go about the game should be interesting and worth £10 all day long.
We should be putting 50 plus points on them and not conceding too many and it's likely to be cold, windy and muddy, with a crap view of the game.
As long as they dont run out of pop, it will be ok.
