frenchred Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 By making it pay for everyone including season ticket holders i believe the club have missed an opportunity to allow their younger players to play in front of a crowd. While £3 is not too bad was it not part of the season ticket deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Even if it was free again there always was very little interest due to the timing of matches it's not really a benefit they youngsters are better off going out on loan to the likes of bath and Weston who would attract a bigger crowd then the under 18's would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Apparently they have not even been allowed to play / train on AG pitch so it will be their first time playing at AG and under floodlights as well - so no real home advantage there.

Still appears to be a bit silly on behalf of whoever made these "rules". Apologies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I'd go if I could watch from the side of the pitch. I hate watching from behind the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADMISSION TO MATCHES - SALE OF TICKETS (a) All persons including Season Ticket Holders must be charged admission to the ground, enclosure and stands in all FA Youth Cup matches In the late 60s and into the 70s (and 80s?), a City season ticket gave you admission to ALL first team games; League, friendlies, League Cup & FA Cup games plus any reserve and youth team games played at AG. Presumably someone, somewhere realised a way of getting more money out of each club's supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Yes that's right, you could go to first team games on one Saturday and then a reserve game on the next. they were then played at AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you're on about Osagi Bascome, the lad from previously from Levante? He's not on the team sheet or subs. I'm not sure whether trialists would be allowed to play in the Youth Cup?
